I don't know anything about finance, so I can't tell if it is accurate but it made me feel like I know more about what is going on. Plus it mentions Magic: The Gathering!

This is a great round up of computer science puzzles that they actually have you solve in school (Or I should say attempt to solve). I saw every one of these.
It isn't technical at all! Read it up people!

These are some interesting photos from the 1940's. Outfits were so much cooler back then! I especially like photos 1, 3 and 5.
1: I would hate to be the people in the movie theatre trying to watch a movie, while that was going on right in front of me!
3: I wanna sleep out on the fire escape! Though, I worry that they are sleeping out there because they are poor (It does say the photo was taken during a heat spell, so maybe not). Also, I would worry that the kitten would wander off.
5: "Hey! Wanna go and hang out at the beach? With 50 million other people?" "Yeah!"

I'm not trying to start any fights; I know some of you are vegans. But just be careful if you have kids!

Which is better for the environment?
This basically comes down to a major question, what is worse for the environment? Using more energy or making and disposing of more crap.
I often cite this study, so if you want to know what I am talking about you should read it!

A series of photographs following people as they grow up through out the years. I am apparently obsessed with aging in photographs. These are different in that they aren't mug shots but candid shots of two cousins as they get older.
I hate that loss of innocence that happens to us all. But at the same time it is so interesting to see what children become.

I feel like I took too much stuff on this trip to Europe. But I don't really know what I should have left behind.
This bit of advice is useful. I know lots of people that could practice it a bit more.
You see that pile of stuff sitting on your bed, waiting to be stuffed into your suitcase? Take half of that stuff and put it back in your closet. Seriously.

I've long struggled with how to give out stars. That is because 'good' means so many different things depending on what mood I am in. It is interesting to see the thought process a critic gives to it.
The Little Man rating system is pretty darn good, though.
