plasticbag : Women with meat for hair as spotted by Jason Kottke - It made me think about what it would be like if your hair was actually made of sheaves of your own personal meat and was used, like dogs use their tongues, to cool you down. Gross.

Linkorama : Blogging gone bad, if not evil - Death threats against bloggers are NOT "protected speech" (why I cancelled my ETech presentations)
Simon Willison : Death threats against bloggers are NOT "protected speech" (why I cancelled my ETech presentations) - Death threats against bloggers are NOT “protected speech” (why I cancelled my ETech presentations). Truly sickening behaviour.
kellan : Kathy Sierra: Death threats against bloggers are NOT protected speech - Kathy Sierra: Death threats against bloggers are NOT protected speech. Deeply disturbing, and upsetting.

plasticbag : The biography of Atia on WIkipedia differs rather dramatically from her character in HBO's Rome, which I've recently started watching on DVD - Awesome series - loads of blood and violence and sex and war and stuff.
