Linkage brought to you by: "A friday in my newsreader: Febuary 22." Also by the letter 'A'.
Occasionally, so many wonderful posts appear in the lull between the Thursday doldrums and the Friday excitation (pun much?) that I have to “link it up…er…mott”.
- It turns out that you can see the effects of trawling for fish from space. Do we need any more evidence against it?
- Uncertain Principles posts about the backlash from the Virginia Tech shootings: turns out stage plays with fake wooden weapons endanger students…according to some college administrators.
- Uncertain principles also wonders if there is any realistic nanotechnology in SciFi writing.
- That encrypted hard drive you might have? Worthless now that the encryption can be broken…easily.
Oh and as a side note, anyone else watch one of my favorite video blogs: http://tv.winelibrary.com/?

Yup, it is that time again. The time when everybody looks back and things about what they have done in the last year. When everyone gets to relax. When everyone is filled with the spirit of happiness and brotherly love. When everyone can sit back and relax in what they have done well so far this year. So in this spirit I’d like to wish everyone a happy end-of-semester.
For anyone in higher education this time of year is not marked by commercialism or religious holidays: it is marked by the passing of courses, the giving of grades and the knowledge that you have done a good job and that you have done the impossible: you have survived another semester.
For the students who can now relax because they have completed, for better or worse (and too often worse), their courses for the semester.
