Interesting Links for 16-10-2012
Oct. 16th, 2012 05:00 pm- BBC News - Should Bank start the helicopter?
Will the giraffe accept the yo-yo? It's a discussion of a 'helicopter drop' of money into the economy, and a fairly good one at that, I just love the surrealness of the title.
- BBC News - Furby, aliens and jigsaws: Top toys get techy for Christmas
- BBC News - A Nobel Prize for beauty – and truth
'economics can be both deeply mathematical and abstract, and deeply practical - not to say hugely useful to public and private organisations all over the world.'
- ‘Dredd’ shows why the 3D film format is doomed… again | Kieran Turner-Dave | Independent Arts Blogs
- World's biggest geoengineering experiment 'violates' UN rules | Environment | guardian.co.uk
'Controversial US businessman's iron fertilisation off west coast of Canada contravenes two UN conventions'
- Lobbying scandals: All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again. | Unlock Democracy
You could almost set your watch by it. A lobbying scandal breaks. The rest of the press pick up on it, and everyone’s furious.
- I Swear, You're Famous
'This is one man's ongoing quest to make obscene gestures near people better-known than him.'
- The Grind Haus, At Comic Con today, I went as Black Cat.
People at a con, being fail and misogynist at a female cosplayer. And her forthright and awesome response.
