Science of Rhythm
Another article I don't have time to read. On the neuro-science of dancing and rhythm. I really wish I had time to read this one...

Flying Spaghetti Monster
An old one but a great one. A letter about how a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe and demands that this be taught in schools, along with how pirates are causing global warming. Hilarious.

About friggin time
The bottled water backlash has apparently begun, at least in Canada. I've been saying all of this stuff for years. What bothered me was that people think they had to pay $2 for a bottle of something that is everywhere because it is "better quality" or they "like the taste better."
I never bought bottled water. I would buy a plastic bottle, drink the water in it and then reuse the bottle for months or until I lost it. Recently after becoming aware of the problems with reusing plastic bottles I switched to Nalgene BPA free bottles and just fill those from my tap.
Penn & Teller did a great show on this a few years back. Here is part of it for your viewing pleasure:

Linked In Valuation
LinkedIn valued at $1 billion. Not even close to Facebook but that is likely a reasonable valuation. If I had money I probably wouldn't invest at that valuation but maybe at $500 mm or even $750 mm. I don't know how they are making revenue but I think LinkedIn has a good product, which is geared towards professionals, not college kids and 30-somethings who still act like college kids (aka my friends).

Update on CashMyPhone
The BBB got back to me... They said they were unable to contact CashMyPhone by any means so they are dropping the case, although it will go on their record. My guess is that these people picked up and left, or maybe they are still running this scam as their web site is still up and running.
Regardless, they screwed me out of a phone and I have heard from several other people who have lost their phones as well. I would recommend a service like SecondRotation, which actually replies to emails and I believe is actually a legitimate company.

Random Junk for Monday
Henry Nicholas (former CEO of Broadcom) is apparently very similar to how I was in college. Except I was a young college kid and he was a highly paid CEO of a major company. Other than that I totally would have hung out with him like 15 years ago.
10 Things some guy hates about Web 2.0. Very funny.
Big Religion Chart. Supposed to list a bunch of various world religions throughout history. Missing a few, but still interesting.

Andy Rooney
This is awesome. Andy Rooney game, via Gawker. I remember watching Andy every weekend when my parents watched 60 minutes back when it was a respectable news program and not just another "news magazine."
