Fresh Sunday Links!

I'll always be a gin and tonic man, but I do love a good Bloody Mary.

Another reason to hate Google.

How does Google know a recipe when it sees one? The authors have included code that tells Google "this is a recipe." ... Handy for consumers, but a pain for food bloggers like me. I'm getting smashed because I did not get around to installing the new recipe codes when Google announced them in April 2010 because the instructions were too confusing. Now the top slots are all occupied by the big-time corporate food sites, Foodnetwork.com, Epicurious.com, About.com, AllRecipes.com, etc.

Attn Uncle Timmy:

Youtube documentary on Otto Dix.

If your student project is awesome enough, culturally isolated people like me may stumble across it on the internet.

I'm actually all for this. We get more sales when the local library is closed- ditching books entirely would be a boon for whatever retailers survive the impending death of literature.

File under "no duh". I'm not sure if right wing kooks just aren't smart enough to figure this stuff out, or if their ignorant xenophobia overrides their logic centers. Maybe a mixture of the two.

OH YES.
One of my favorite niche channels on Roku is Pub-D-Hub, which streams piles of public domain weirdness including some old commercials. All old commercials on demand? Yes, please!

And lastly....
