Prosthetic Conscience

I promise to write something that isn’t just a link collection one of these days.

• Welcome to Roseanne World
  

  Roseanne Barr’s blog is full of much more high-weirdness than you would expect.

• Beat the Press Archive | The American Prospect
  

  Interesting debate in comments about whether real wages are actually rising during the current crash.

• Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Perfume Oils: Welcome to the Lab
  

  Extremely fascinating perfumery. Many scents are olfactory interpretations of characters, scenes, or concepts from literature and philosophy.

• The Science of Peace
  

  A feature-length documentary on what peace is, and why we have trouble realizing it, with reference to new scientific studies; hosted by LeVar Burton. Unfortunately, some of it dips into pseudoscience (like morphogenetic field theory and “noetic science”), but any attempt at dealing with this is better than no attempt.

• partiwm – a tabbed/tiled window manager for modern desktops
  

  This seems like a pretty nice idea – to do the kind of things that hacker-friendly environments like ion or stumpwm do, but look good doing it.

• Mekabu: seaweed for cancer prevention
