Pre-Snowstorm Linkfest

* Check out Chris Kelly's piece in the Huffington Post, "Your 12 Biggest Questions About Hollywood, Answered." (And just when I thought I was the only person who wasn't gaga over "The Dark Knight"!)

* I've added the 6x6 "harder" Kenken to my daily puzzle routine. At this rate, I'm going to have to give up working. I still prefer sudoku, but it's hard to find challenging-enough puzzles, so this offers a new diversion.

* "Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard," via the Onion, 'natch. Try to read the screen when they show the "predictive sentence technology" feature.

* You can view these Twitter streams whether you're on Twitter or not:

• You can follow either the real Levar Burton or the fake one.
• I don't think the real Hugh Jackman is on Twitter, but this fake one is.
• I get a kick out of the tweets of Erica's fish (Erica is the human referred to).
• I also enjoy these tweets in the persona of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
• In a similar vein, George Dickel tweets about life as a Tennessee gentleman, post Civil War.
• Me, of course.

Mark has in iPhone app called 'Enjoy Sudoku' which he says comes with difficulty settings, the hardest ones he reckons are trickier than the most difficult in my sudoku book.
It comes with a tutorial and hints if you get stuck and the hints provide links to Wikipedia pages to provide explanations of the kids of tactics you should use.

Karen,

LOVED the Chris Kelly piece, my daughter and i both howled over the Laura Ingalls-esque twitters (having been raised on that show, and also watched it in college--it came on right after the more sordid "General Hospital", which always made my dormmates nad i feel a little dirty, so we called Little House "Moral of the Day" and then could go on to Happy Hour feeling cleansed of Luke and Laura in favor of Pa and Half Pint), and all of my kids watched the Onion piece several times to try and catch the "Ardvaark admonishes unemplyed actors" and other predictive sentences. Great way to spend a sunday morning while the snow slowly drifts to an end.
