- IndieGames.com – The Weblog – The Best Of 2010: Top 10 Indie Games
A ten second play of their game of the year has me wanting to go back for more. One to check out when I'm not at work.
- russell davies: Ted Hughes on thinking
Ted Hughes was a man who knew about thinking. And dead pigs. Well worth a listen. Russell's observation re: YouTube is also trenchant and a pleasing thing to think about.
- How the case against the MMR vaccine was fixed — Deer 342 — bmj.com
This needs to do the rounds in a very big way. You know all those vaccine scares that are picked up by the easily swayed, and used as an excuse to endanger the rest of us through lack of vaccination?

- Ping Pong Battle for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Requires an iPad and 2 iPhones to play. Suspect that it's not going to be set-the-world-on-fire exciting, but it's worth a look, I think, if nothing else than because it's a reasonable innovative idea that is bound to have other applications.
- Cool Tools: The Best Magazine Articles Ever
I've been Instapapering stuff ever since I got my iPad for weeks now, and not quite finding the time to get it all read – to the point that when I'm done with my current book, I'll probably spend a week or two's commuting time catching up on them, rather than picking up another book. So obviously, what I need to make my backlog truly huge is a trove of excellent instapaper fodder. (If you are an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad user who isn't making use of Instapaper, you're missing out on one of the best things about them.)
