Well it's primary season and they're rolling in New Hampshire today. If the grandstanding, mudslinging, and empty rhetoric is getting you down already, you might want to check out this (supposedly non-partisan) web site that offers a simple quiz to identify the 2008 presidential candidate that best represents your beliefs.

Your brain runneth over
On the topic of cogitation, this site attempts to do for intellectuals what YouTube did for bulldogs on skateboards. A so-called "YouTube for ideas" according to this article from the NY Times, this platform for public discourse is causing intellectual sparks to fly. Git some.

Time for your New Year's resolution, baby!
We all hate them, and yet so many of us make them. Inevitably, however, it seems they all are broken. Fitness always seems to be at the top of everyone's resolutions for the New Year. This vaguely amusing 20-second video clip for a fitness club proves the case for taking exercise seriously.

Art=Science
Definitely a fine line between the two. If you don’t believe me, check out a few entries in the Materials Research Society's "Science as Art" competition.

Maybe you found one of these levitation magic wands under your tree a couple of weeks ago. Or maybe it floated away. The kids will probably think it's cool for at least 30 seconds. (Thanks Olga)
