T minus 18 hours to 10K

The 10k race is tomorrow. My strategy of taking two days off in a row from exercise, while accidental, was a good one. I meant to run yesterday but I didn't. It's good because I'm a little ball of energy and I can't wait for tomorrow now.

In all the time I've created for myself by not exercising, I found tons of stuff on the web.

From the funny:

• Over the top office gadgets (is it weird that I'm really drawn to the stool?


• A way to get back at all the annoying operators we've talked to in our lives


• What's the best programming cartoon? I don't get all of them, especially the ones in computer code. But they are funny. The Dilbert ones remind me of an experience I had recently...

To the Health Related:

• Are you a woman? Incontinence is more common than you think.


• Who's really supplying kids with soda. I always had to buy my own from the grocery store. Mom was kind of picky about that. And I wouldn't take it to school because it would be warm by lunch. Ewww.

To Random Information about Democrats and Republicans: (this is research about personalities, not politics, promise)

• After misinformation is corrected, we are likely to "argue back" rather than change our world view, especially those with "rigid world views". Helps explain why the parties are running ads the other side calls misleading.


• Want to know if you're talking to a republican or a democrat? Look at their startle response for a clue.

To an Explanation of the Subprime Meltdown:

• This is really well done. Enjoy.
