- In an UNICEF report on child wellbeing, the United States ranked #26 out of 29. I'm sure that's quite a bit lower than most people would expect.
- Have you ever wondered why you shouldn't bring your cows into the city? This is a pretty good explanation as to why. Bonus: It's about Nairobi, the city we are planning to move to.
- Beets - a command line based music library manager. Looks geeky & powerful.
- A fun article on the ridiculousness of professional wine tasters. I found the story of the 54 tasters, given a glass of white wine with food coloring, and none of them actually identified it as white when they had the white in a glass sitting next to it that they tried.
- Daft Punk has a new album coming out soon and iTunes is streaming it for free. It's also pretty delightful.
- Yahoo acquired Tumblr. This can't be good for Tumblr. Well, it could, but that's highly unlikely.
- Omnipresence: a new document syncing solution. Looks quite promising.
- The Tornado in Moore earlier this week was devastating. Being just miles from where we used to live, our hearts go out to the people, and we wish we were closer in order to be "hands and feet" on the ground.
