Activist judges, average iq, villager villains, punch out

Snowy day here in Whitmarshall. Thought we'd miss most of it this winter, but snow is now all around.
Links:
  • Attorney General Gonzales raps 'activist' judges, saying that federal judges can not make rulings (or judge, ahem) matters of national security. He says they should defer to the President and Congress. But wouldn't that be disabling one of the checks and balances from the three equal parts of government? I don't know what to say: I'm torn between my confusion on how we have cabinet members that don't understand the basics of government, and my obedience of Big Brother. He's double-plus good! All hail Oceania!
  • Average IQ Map of the World. Uh-oh, changed my mind: All hail Eastasia! (This Wikipedia page is flagged for possible deletion, so view it before it goes away.)
  • Entire village suspects in mayor's murder. Wow, must have been a well liked politician. Darn those activist villagers!
  • Sorry to link another live-action video game recreation, but this live action Mike Tyson's Punch Out was pretty humorous for those that remember the game.

Trivia, vista, digestion, ps4, riddles, hamster

Hello! Here are a few interesting things to take up your time:

  • 50 Things Everyone Should Know (or 50 useless, but mildly interesting facts). It is a nice list of trivia, and since I found it on the Internet, I can only guess that some of it might be true.
  • Why Vista might be the last of its kind. An interesting perspective on Microsoft Vista (versus Google tools and such). The thing I found most amazing in the article was that it took Microsoft 10,000 employees for 5 years to create Vista! Wow!
  • Can't finish that last bit of food? You can put it in the digestive table, which is simultaneously neat and gross.
  • I haven't gone for a Sony PS3 yet, but why bother now that they've announced the PS4 will be available shortly (in 2010)?

Site of the day:

Weff Riddles - a very fun and challenging web puzzle path. It was refreshing how clever it is even though it is very low-tech.


And just for fun, here's a clever and cute YouTube video of a live action hamster video game:
