Why I Love the Web
Now Playing: Sia - Breathe Me (Four Tet remix)
1) The new Economist.com website looks amazing; nice, clean style and XHTML/CSS goodness makes me happy. I'm a little late on this (new design went live 10/2) but congratulations on the new site and to the designer.

2) The Economist again, IP, Patents, and Innovation in the Marketplace

3) The answer to a national wi-fi initiative, straight outta Japan: unmanned aircraft drones

4) The Magazine Aisle Experiment
Without a doubt, my favorite aisle in the grocery store is the books/magazine aisle. I finish all of my other shopping and save the magazine area for last, as a treat to myself. The experiment is deciding which single magazine from the racks of magazines at your local grocery store/bookstore that best represents you. I'd choose WIRED and the wide range of articles in Issue 13.11 explains why I love the magazine.

5) Kansas up to antics again and even copyright law can't slow down intelligent design:
" While the copyright denial could cause delay in their adoption, as the standards are rewritten, it is unlikely to derail the board's conservative majority in its mission to require that challenges to Darwin's theories be taught in the state's classrooms." (NY Times)
