Link dump

By Lou, on October 5th, 2009

I’ve been away for the last few days, so I’m struggling to clean up the 1,000+ RSS items that showed up in my absence, as well as deal with some real-world household stuff.

So, let me just shovel a big ol’ pile of links in your general direction. These are all items that I think are “interesting”, for one reason or another.

I plan to be back to morte normal content soon, with an extended review/opinion on McKay’s Sustainable Energy book, among other things.

One more thing: I’ve disabled registrations for this blog for a while. The spammers must be bored, because I’m getting even more than the usual number of phony registration attempts from morons who are trying to sell boner drugs, online gambling, and who knows what else via totally uninterested blogs. Would it be impolitic to suggest that I’d like to find these people and break their fingers, one by one, Bladerunner style, as a warm-up to what I’d really like to do to them? Probably, so I won’t say that. Wouldn’t be prudent.
