Links, Random Links

With the latest issues of Wired and The Atlantic arriving recently I realized I never gave my readers my links from the past issue of both. So here they are, slightly rushed.

Wired May 2011

• Only Bill James would have chronicling a history of dark crime as a hobby. Count his book as one I wish to read if I had the time.
• Yes commercials are indeed louder.
• Japan's quake ridden history.
• Sycophants might now be sooooo bad.
• Why do we still have Region Codes? Answer. Though the DVD is all but dead anyway.
• First rule about private trackers, you don't talk about private trackers.
• We are an angry 12 year old away from Armageddon.
• I for one tend to agree with Steven Levy. Though I would love to do away with physical programs for web based apps I still find myself using a Mac based Twitter client, email client as well as RSS reader. So to find myself doing away with physical files on my computer will be quite a stretch. I myself favor a Dropbox approach for now.

The Atlantic May 2011

• Did you want to know more about the Verizon Wireless Guy? Here you go.
• I am happy to say I do not follow into this category of yuppie.
• Being a pack rat is never a good thing, preserving useless old buildings is an even worse habit. We grow through innovation not through preserving old inferior buildings.
