http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanId=sa003&articleId=19CCCAFF-E7F2-99DF-394B61DF5ECC42B3 - the scent of a man. I don't know why I find this sort of thing interesting.

http://www.womenshealthmag.com/article/0,6176,s1-11-67-1882-1,00.html - Dieting advice on how to feel like you are full, even if you're not really full. I read this stuff but do I follow the advice? Nope.

I think it is shocking and sad that racism is still so alive and well. If my son ever hung a noose from a tree, the last thing he would worry about would be the punishment he might receive from others. He would fear me more. I think all of this begins at home, not the school, not "society", at home. OK, I am done.

I heard this man interviewed on NPR on my way home from work the other day. He is sincerely trying to develop an electric car that will work, that will be practical, that people won't be embarrassed to drive. He's not doing this to make money, he is doing it because it is the right thing to do.
