Generalized Graduate Student Sexual Deprivation Disorder. "A coping mechanism, which mental health professionals say is on the rise, is for sexually aggrieved students to hunker down in dusty archives or library cubicles, hoping the disorder will naturally run its course." I think it could be even more general--it could apply to office workers, fast food employees, well heck, everybody. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Corset Dreams. A blog about corsets--with pictures for those of you with perverted minds. I think people can wear whatever they wish, but my thought? Ow. Ow, ow, ow.
The Galileo Project. "The Galileo Project is a source of information on the life and work of Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)." A very prettily designed site.
'Blog' No. 1 word of the year. "Merriam-Webster Inc. said on Tuesday that blog, defined as "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks," was one of the most looked-up words on its Internet sites this year."
Turn yourself into a diamond: tips from science on a good life, and death. So what sort of cool science stuff do you want to accomplish before you die? In their list, they've included 'extract your own DNA'--well, I haven't done that yet even though I extract DNA all the time. Bacterial DNA, that is.
Slow roasted vine tomato and Woolwich goat cheese tart. This is of interest because I've decided to make this for that semi-obligatory Christmas party I have to go to next week. Except I'm scaling the tart up to pie size, substituting margarine for butter, and using regular salt instead of sea salt (since I read somewhere that the chemical composition of the two is identical--NaCl). And I'm also attempting the optional brie cheese fondue with red peppers. Hopefully I won't screw this up--I've made a similar French dish before and it turned out okay despite being a little watery.
