A Smattering

Some links from the past few months, saved to share:

• Why I Let My 9-Year-Old Ride the Subway Alone: On parenting, security, and the dangers of paranoia.
• What the World Eats: Pictures of the weekly diet of families from around the world.
• Still Alive?: A look at the imagery of the character of GLaDOS from the game Portal (read this if you've played the game, play the game if you haven't; it's only about 3 hours long so I highly recommend it even to non-gamers).
• The UI That Cares: An example of the intersection of web design and customer service.
• The Right Choice?: An argument why Barack Obama should be the candidate of choice for conservatives.
• World War Z Movie Details: Apparently, they're making a movie based on the book, which was really good. I'm excited.
• Please Talk to Kids About AIDS: An article about the documentary (which can be viewed here, it's 30 minutes long). Both the documentary and how it was made raise interesting ethical questions, I'd especially like to hear your thoughts on this one.
