So without further delay, items of geeky interest from the past 24 hours:
Links:
- CNN: 5 Facebook profile pics that make you look like a tool - You have to admit, you still see a lot of these kinds of profile photos around.
- CNN: Miners' deaths a national tragedy, New Zealand prime minister says - Mining remains to be one of the most dangerous professions around. At least until we can figure out a way to automate this somehow. Where are the robots George Jetson?
- Inquirer: 5 indie films highlight metro film fest - While they're not precisely in the MMFF itself, at least independent films are starting to get recognized in a better fashion. So when will we wake up and realize a film festival cannot thrive on trope-y Filipino movie archetypes anymore?
- Gizmodo: The Best Notebooks of 2010 - Darn, some of these had me looking at my netbook in an evil way. But no, I must buy a new desktop for games first!
- How-to-Geek: The Eightfold Noble Geek Path - A Buddhist-inspired path to nobility for geek programmer and system administrators.
- Yahoo News: Conservatives at odds with Vatican over condoms - While I doubt the Pope is going to clear the air anytime soon, I'm sure we all agree that he needs to come out and made a definitive statement soon. Instead he's stuck to being sneaky and flip-flop-ish by sneaking his comment into a book instead of a papal statement.
- Inquirer: Survey has to say what’s in RH bill - While surveys are always potentially vulnerable to badly-framed questions, somehow I don't think the Bishop's counter-example was a very good one.
- Inquirer: Still no winner for P633-M Grand Lotto jackpot - Okay, this particular lottery pot is getting pretty scary now. Anyone who wins is bound to get robbed or something shortly after collecting their winnings.
