Hallowe’en Cake Disasters
I’m not sure that this link could be considered “safe for work,” but for pure unexpectedness, it certainly got a laugh from me.

“Want Peace? Give a Nuke the Nobel”
[… T]he global economy is a creation of the nuclear age. Major powers find ways to get along because the cost of armed conflict between them has become unthinkably high. […] A very thought-provoking article. (Thanks, Ploni)
“A Halo Over Moscow”
If this had happened a few years ago, I might have thought it meant something. 😉

“Microsoft offers stickers to boost Windows 7 64-bit take-up”
This should help boost the mainstream take-up of 64-bit computers. With multi-gigabyte memory sizes starting to feel a bit cramped, it’s rather important… 32-bit systems can’t address more than 4GB of memory, or even use all of that — my dearly-departed Dell was limited to 3.3GB of the 4GB I had installed in it, and …

“Fantastic Photos of Our Solar System”
Some really awesome pictures from recent spacecraft. I grabbed a bunch of them for use as desktop wallpapers. Having wallpaper images from Mars or Saturn… pure geek porn. 🙂
