Bush: The text adventure game - Amusing, if simultaneously thoroughly depressing.
Google will fight Bush Administration demand for search records - I should have an opinion on this, but all I can think is "that is SO not the government's business". Certainly, I cannot see what rights the US government could have over searches that I, as a UK citizen, have made on google.co.uk - especially if the final destination of my search was also outside the US.
Scientists Find A DNA Change That Accounts For White Skin - very interesting article with reasonable scientific detail, despite being from a mainstream newspaper. I must get an online subscription to New Scientist.
The Grammarian's Five Daughters by Eleanor Arnason. Has been doing the rounds of my friends list - I can't think why :) I have a feeling I've read & linked to this before, but I have no problems with linking to it again.

A subscription gives you access to the full text of all the articles, which is what I'd want - every so often I go to the site & start reading, then follow a link and find the article is for paid members only. I don't want to get the paper magazine because it will just sit around until I have a pile of 4 or 5 of them sitting unread, accompanied by a guilty feeling. So subscribing to the web site seems the way forward.

I hadn't even noticed that the feed was down. :( Did they start the subscription system recently? If so, I wonder if they discontinued the feed at that time.
