Some businesses are looking to fix our sleeping habits. I’m a big fan of employee nap rooms. That my wife’s hospital didn’t have one for on-call docs was always baffling to me.
If this is Google, I once worked for the anti-google. Google tries to find ways to make its employees happy. My former employer tried to find employees who would be happy in its oppressive atmosphere.
I pass on a lot of links about alternative housing. Here’s one on alternative hoteling!
Graphic novels rule, books drool. People retain more information from graphic novels than typical books.
Slate explainer tackles the question of whether states can exile people. Actually, I know someone who was exiled from Arizona.
You can always count of Dave Schuler for sober analysis. On the bright side, he has a post on how we can cut health care costs without lowering payments or reducing services.
This is pretty cool. A phone for your smartphone. I really hope that the future of smartphones includes modularization. They need to get everything talking to everything else. In addition to smartphones-as-car-keys, I want an Android fridge.
Apparently, back in the 80’s in fear of a Sam’s Club’s arrival, Oklahoma passed a law requiring a six-percent profit margin.
I’m about as pro-resource-exploitation as you can get whenever the economics warrant it, but I will admit that this makes me uneasy.

The neat story of how a guy filmed a movie as Disney World on the sly.

Don’t forget blogging! I do a fair amount of blogging from my iPad, although it can get tedious if the post requires external content.
Regarding security: Dell computers have long had an option for a smartcard reader. It’s an option I have made a point of getting for my last two laptops, since a smartcard (known as a CAC in the DoD) is necessary to access my work email from home (and from work, for that matter).
