+## log
+
+  * Well, after my computer exploded and my hard drive became an orphan, I finally built a working computer again and fixed up my scripts so they didn't suck. Now I shall attempt to post the giant piles of stuff that have accumulated. 
+
+* * *
+
+## diy,links
+
+  * [The Repair Manifesto](http://www.boingboing.net/2009/03/03/repair-manifesto.html) from Platform 21 - worth thinking about. 
+
+* * *
+
+## motivational,practical
+
+  * [Twelve Steps to Practical Problem Solving](http://www.heifer.org/site/c.edJRKQNiFiG/b.3955149/) by Paul Polak 
+  * [No Nonsense Self-Defense](http://nononsenseselfdefense.com/) - This is a helpful site. The author gives a vast collection of useful, well-informed articles about self-defense - and why too much of martial arts completely misses the point of it. 
+
+* * *
+
+## food,photography
+
+  * [http://www.tastespotting.com/](http://www.tastespotting.com/) - My friend Cassie sent me this link. In its own words: "Think of TasteSpotting as a highly visual potluck of recipes, references, experiences, stories, articles, products, and anything else that inspires exquisite taste." 
+
+* * *
+
+## game,geometry
+
+  * [The eyeballing game](http://woodgears.ca/eyeball/about.html) - Another link from Cassie… it's a Flash game that's sort of interesting, related to one's ability to eyeball something and tell if it's straight 
+  * [Nomic Game](http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?NomicGame) - A paperwork table game that looks a bit complex to actually play. The object of the game is to change the rules of the game. 
+
+* * *
+
+## article
+
+  * [The Score: How childbirth went industrial](http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2006/10/09/061009fa_fact?currentPage=all) - An article in The New Yorker giving a (critical) opinion of why C-section is used so often. Interesting read. 
+  * [Perils of pop philosophy](http://www.juliansanchez.com/2009/06/01/perils-of-pop-philosophy/)
+    * Probably related to [Dunning-Kruger effect](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-Kruger_effect) - "…people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it" 
+  * [The Zen of Drinking Alone](http://www.moderndrunkardmagazine.com/issues/03_03/03-03_zen_drinking_alone.htm) from Modern Drunkard Magazine. I can't say I've ever heard of Modern Drunkard before, but this is a surprisingly cogent article about the value of… drinking alcohol alone, or "using alcohol to find your inner monkey". 
+  * Well, more of an essay than an article… [On Liberty](http://www.bartleby.com/130/) by John Stuart Mill is something I should probably read at some point

+
+## music
+
+  * [Jake Speed and the Freddies](http://www.freddiesmusic.com/) - just saw them at the Southgate House and was extremely impressed, despite that ordinarily I'd never listen to "folk blues" voluntarily. 
+  * [StumbleAudio](http://www.stumbleaudio.com/) - I don't really know what this is. but I wrote it down, so maybe it's good. "Guide to discovering music and sharing great new music."
