Friday Links!
I'm leading off this week with a link from David Gloier because it is the ultimate time-waster. A People Map of the U.S. that tags city names with the most Googled person associated with that city. In may case (Portland, Texas), it's country singer Don Johnson, who I didn't even know existed. There's also a brief description of the person, so you can easily wander around the map without having to leave to look anything up.From C. Lee, and this is a fascinating read: How greed and corruption blew up South Korea’s nuclear industry A sad, sad story: 30 Years After Tiananmen, a Chinese Military Insider Warns: Never Forget. This is fantastic: Why the World’s Best Mathematicians Are Hoarding Chalk. This is tremendously odd: Rats can't resist wiring in newer cars: Here's why. This is very clever: What Ridley Scott's Alien Can Teach Us About Office Life. This is thought-provoking: You Don’t Want a Child Prodigy.
From Wally, and this is very interesting: Why Do Employers Lowball Creatives? A New Study Has Answers.
This is an excellent read: The Fascinating Reason Why NASCAR Engines Run So Hot.
