Taking advantage of down time

Today's short race took way more out of me than I thought it would. There is something to be said for going relatively "short and fast".

The wife is in Chicago at a meeting and I am all but done with my latest mathematics paper. I need to get it into proper style prior to sending it out to be refereed.

I'll complete that nit-picky task on Monday.

So, I've just lounged around and decided to take a look at some of what is out here on the internet.

A funny blog devoted to political satire (I've linked to his Liberman/Lamott post, but the rest of the blog is pretty funny too)

A diary on the Daily Kos which, while raising some "serious" points, is nevertheless amusing.

A good science blog. On an aside note, one of my biggest educational deficiencies is my lack of knowledge of basic biology. I need to read a popular book to learn some of the terms so I can properly read an evolution book.

A nice diary on the Daily Kos which discusses the political situation in Taiwan.
