LinkedIn sends out a shitload of quasi-spam. I should really just get rid of it.
Making oatmeal wrong
McDonald’s has somehow managed to screw-up oatmeal.
Others will argue that the McDonald’s version is more “convenient.” This is nonsense; in the time it takes to go into a McDonald’s, stand in line, order, wait, pay and leave, you could make oatmeal for four while taking your vitamins, brushing your teeth and half-unloading the dishwasher. […] Incredibly, the McDonald’s product contains more sugar than a Snickers bar and only 10 fewer calories than a McDonald’s cheeseburger or Egg McMuffin.
Take a fast and healthy staple, pump it full of sugar and chemicals, serve. Sounds like the rest of the breakfast cereal industry, or just pre-processed food in general.

Qaddafi’s fashion
A slideshow of Colonel Qaddafi’s various wardrobe incarnations.
Drawing upon the influences of Lacroix, Liberace, Phil Spector (for hair), Snoopy, and Idi Amin, Libya’s leader—now in his 60s—is simply the most unabashed dresser on the world stage. We pay homage to a sartorial genius of our time.

Watson’s Bitch
Ken Jennings is doing an AMA on Reddit — it’s kind of like free-for-all question time. I had to post one of Jennings’ responses:
Q: What has been the single biggest change in you life since your epic winning streak, besides the money?
A: Old people can’t keep their dry, lilac-scented hands off me. Man, do old people ever love Jeopardy. I can’t go anywhere in public where there might be old people, like Hallmark stores or cemeteries.
So much for the Jeopardy! hiatus.
Animals on the Underground
Animals on the Underground, a collection of line-art animals discovered within the London tube map.
The animals, created using the tube lines, stations and junctions of the London Underground map were first spotted by Paul Middlewick in 1988. The original animal, the elephant was discovered while Paul was staring at the tube map during his daily journey home from work. Since then, the elephant has been joined by many others from bats to bottlenose whales.
There are more than thirty animals so far, maybe you can find another one?

Road works crew digging up the same patch of road outside my place as last week. Must be busy work, the construction equivalent of sweeping.
SNES games that pushed the limits
A list of Super Nintendo games that pushed the limits in terms of what the system was capable of. I remember Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario RPG being two later generation games that wowed me.
