I feel the earth move under my feet
I just saw a couple articles on possible links between shale extraction and (smallish) earthquakes. This doesn’t sound like nonsense to me, based on the studies mentioned and linked to in the articles. Is it though? And would it only be smallish earthquakes it could cause if it really can cause earthquakes?

RSS reader bleg
The new version of Google Reader is a disaster, weird colors, doesn’t size properly, red buttons everywhere for stuff you don’t want to do. Are there any decent RSS readers for Mac? I tried bloglines but it makes it a pain to migrate my Google subscriptions over. Is there anything else that’s good? Am I [...]

Speaking of incoherent speaking
ABL wrote something below that reminded me of a seemingly forgotten nugget from those sepia-toned years way back in Bush junior’s first term.

Siri with a fringe on top
Do any of you have the new iPhone? I know that the Siri voice recognition thing incorporates Wolfram Alpha somehow. Can you ask it to solve stuff and graph stuff by voice control?

Hulu bleg
I’m not watching the Cain “Imagine” video, I have strong memories of that song. I remember, right after 9/11, Neil Young did a version of it and it was getting played everywhere, even on pop radio in the south (where I lived at the time), despite the “imagine no religion” part. Then, they suddenly stopped [...]

As long as everyone’s here
Lots of traffic today, so while you’re all here, why not give to Democrats for Wisconsin recall elections?

You’ve got to give it to me
For the Wisconsin recall elections. (Listened to a lot of J. Geils band when I was getting ready for karaoke, the song holds up surprisingly well, if a little too much like Desmond Dekker’s “Shanty Town“).

Giving ends to your friends and it feels stupendous
We cleared nearly 4K yesterday, not bad! *** Update *** John speaking. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest people might be more charitable if we told them what this is for. It is for the Wisconsin recall, and not gastric bypass surgery for Tunch and Rosie.
