i’ve had a busy week or so and haven’t had time to post much, but that doesn’t mean i haven’t been collecting interesting links. here’s another roundup-style post to get those links off my desktop:

• does MLB own its statistics?
• full body teleportation system patent. and yes, patent law is broken, but maybe this will help? probably not.
• 24 is totally fake, at least the clock is. but jack never sleeps, goes to the bathroom, and only drinks water. that’s true.
• family, don’t look at this, because i’m going to give all of you these for presents: photoblocks
• [soon-to-be-former] JTS Chancellor Schorsch goes out with a bang, the Conservative Movement about to go out with a whimper.
• pigeons can think in logarithms, but you can’t!
• Nevaeh is a stupid name, but so are a lot of popular names. Dina’s English name is actually “Eman”, and Bassie’s is “Elamef”. Now you know, fool.
