Hm. I guess it’s a good thing we didn’t immediately attack North Korea as some people were suggesting.

“Caring for Your Introvert”
As a member of this “little-understood group,” I have to recommend this article.
“Swearing mitigates pain”
Honest, that’s what it says! 🙂
“Read It Later” iPhone App — Excellent!
I’ve been using the free Read It Later add-on (RIL from here on) for Firefox for quite a while now. It’s really great for marking pages that I want to read, but don’t want to take time out from whatever I’m doing when I find them. It’s also very nice because I often have my …

“iPhone app lets you squash Wall Streeters”
I’m betting that this game will do very well. At 99 cents, I’m considering buying a copy myself.
