Friday Night Links (2/19/2010)…
You may have noticed a lack of posting last night. You may have also noticed that I brought back a long-absent ‘Meet The Digitante’ box at the top with a picture and a little about me and this site.
But back to the lack of posting last night: I am working on some other projects and I want to be able to focus one night a week to doing so. Therefore, I’m going to be taking Thursday night off. I am hoping to re-post some of my old articles because my readership has grown significantly since I wrote some of those articles. Also, there may be a bit of information that needs to be updated.
Additionally, I plan on filling you in on my new projects, but not yet. Keep an eye out.
And now… THE LINKS.
- No Senior Year (http://thedig.in/bf) – Everyone is feeling the financial crunch in the US. One of the hardest hit entities has been the state government. The federal government can adjust monetary policy or fix demand if they are having a budget crisis. However, if you live in Utah, you our your kid may end-up ending things after only 3 years of high school. Then again, if you live in Utah, it’s questionable whether you could even complete 4 years of high school. Kidding aside, maybe it’s a good thing that someone is questioning the need of everyone to complete 12 years of schooling. Perhaps a little less would be good for those not needing college and choosing trade skills instead. Another Slashdot story talked about that.
- Mosquito Killer (http://thedig.in/bg) – PEW! PEW! PEW! Using lasers to shoot down mosquitoes? Yes please! The contraption was built by a dude with parts off of eBay and can identify the gender of the mosquito and only shoot down the female, the ones that bite. Also, it can shoot down 50-100 per second. I’m personally hoping it would put on a rockin’ laser light show too.
- Amazing Steak (http://thedig.in/bh) – I had never heard of Sous Vide style of cooking steaks, but one look at the pictures on this site and I sure wanted to learn how to cook steak like that. Essentially, you seal the steak, salt, and pepper in a vacuum pouch, then you place it in 135 degree water for an hour. Finally, you sear each side in a skillet. Supposedly this allows you to cook the steak to the perfect temperature and no lose or change any of the flavors. I can’t wait to try this one out.
- Newbie Fashion Tips (http://thedig.in/bi) – These fashion tips should be required reading for any guy who is freshly graduating from college. I knew most of these tips, but a few of them, such as requiring your shoes to be darker than your pants, were new to me. If this guy put out a book, I would absolutely buy it as graduation presents for guys I know getting out of college.
