A couple of links to things I've seen and liked recently.


My friend Jim Baker of Weehauken, NJ, Lawrence, KS, Austin TX and points West passed on an excellent article on Critical Thinking from The Skeptical Inquirer for those who either need a refresher themselves (like me), or who know someone else who could use it.


On the lighter side, there are The Official Record Store Cats.


Meanwhile, now that Steely Dan has reached some kind of detente with Owen Wilson regarding his recent career choices, they've moved on to advising director Wes Anderson about the problems they perceive in the direction his career is going.


Also, anyone have any ideas out there why I can't get Technorati to update their listing for me? They don't have any updates to this blog for the last 30 days, and it won't update no matter how many times I ping them. I thought I might be supposed to include something in the formatting for this page (not possible, I believe, with a free LiveJournal account), but I've seen indications elsewhere this isn't the case. So, any answers?


And here's a photo I took four years ago this week in Molde, Norway:





I believe Norway is now the only country which, as you can see, still has official "Noir Detective Crossing" zones.
