Mud cookies. I had never heard of mud cookies before. I remember hearing that starving people will eat mud to stave off hunger, but I never imagined that an industry around mud-food could arise. With the recent earthquakes has come a renewed interest in Haiti’s past, present and future troubles. I saw a picture of …

Aside from the numerous sanitary napkin jokes (I’m not putting a specific link – just google “iPad jokes” if you’ve got a free hour or so), many of the iPad’s potential users are having fairly lukewarm reactions to Apple’s newest release.

Battlefield Acupuncture

I find a new widget.

Apparently several shoppers stopped by mall admin to complain that the bookstore was handing out religious-themed materials outside of our front doors.

Scott Roeder’s Murder Trial and Pierogis
A couple of articles from today’s Star Tribe caught my attention: Testimony opens in shooting death of abortion doctor (Roxana Hegeman).
