Link dump for June 12th, 2009 through June 30th, 2009:

• Senate recount: After unanimous ruling for Franken, attention shifts to Pawlenty — and Coleman – Finally, a ruling. But no real resolution, since the supremes didn't actually tell Pawlenty to issue the certificate. Oh well… We've waited this long, right?
• Grilled Cheesecake: A Sweet Take on a Classic Sandwich – Or, as I'd like to think of it, a heart-attack sandwich. Of course, I'd also like to think of it as delicious. But I would never have more than one bite.
• Ten Movies to Watch Instead of Star Trek – "…check out some movies that tackled science fiction just as well as the new Trek (and often better)."
  A good list of flicks that I would definitely prefer to watch instead of the new Trek. I know I'm in the minority amongst my friends as far as that goes (and probably the only one who hasn't seen it so far). But there you go. At least it's snark you can laugh along to.

Link dump for March 21st, 2009 through March 25th, 2009:

• Coleman has been afforded due process – I enjoyed this good, concise, op-ed piece by former secretary of state Joan Anderson Growe. I'm sure a Coleman supporter may feel otherwise, but she has some really good points.
  "This election, however, was held under laws and rules that have been clear to everyone from the beginning. Former Sen. Coleman has taken ample advantage of his rights to hold the results up to unprecedented scrutiny. So, while he and his supporters will surely be disappointed if he does not win his contest, they cannot claim that they were not afforded due process."
• When It Comes To Shampoo, Less Is More – Thanks to my tipster wife for the link. This is how I have felt for quite a while now. My hair is fine if I wash it once a week (but I do have my mixed heritage to give me a but of a boost there). I simply can't imagine washing more often, and how that would just strip the heck out of my poor hair. It's delicate enough as it is (again, mixed heritage). Plus the expense would be horrendous.
• Sugar Is Back on Food Labels, This Time as a Selling Point – “The argument about which is better for you, sucrose or HFCS, is garbage. Both are equally bad for your health.”
• Memo dishware – Oh it's be neat-o to have one of those lined-paper-inspired trays. It'd be like eating off a note pad! Tee!
• Parody Motivator Generator – Make your own "Demotivator" poster thanks to Despair, Inc.

Link dump for March 5th, 2009 through March 17th, 2009:

• Pawlenty's budget forecast assumes property tax hikes – "[Rep. Paul Marquart, DFL-Dilworth] said the public understands the link between Pawlenty's budget and property taxes.
  'And they know that it's state action that's causing that. Whether it's not funding schools properly, or outright cuts to local government aid or county program aid, they know the connection,' said Marquart. 'When people talk about no new taxes, that's not accurate because property taxes have gone up $3.1 billion in this state.' "
• Pawlenty admits budget will hike property taxes $600 million – "Gov. Tim Pawlenty's budget assumes $626 million in local property tax hikes over the next three years stemming from his local government aid cuts… Pawlenty troops say he's not to blame because locals do the hiking."
• xkcd titlts at wind turbines –
• Michelle Obama’s Message – Eat Fresh Food –
• Eating Well on a Downsized Food Budget – "Researchers at the State University of New York at Buffalo … found that basing the family diet on low-calorie, high-nutrient foods not only improved the health of the entire family but also reduced the amount spent on food."

Link dump for February 18th, 2009 through February 23rd, 2009:

• Foodzie – The etsy of food. A place where i would spend a good portion of my disposable income, if I had some.
• Magnetic Duct-Tape – Woot!
• Magenta Ain't A Colour – Fascinating. Kind of a "Oh, yeah, I guess that's right" article.
• Third Eye video camera – Finally, we are getting closer to my longed for eye camera. If only it were smaller. And as capable as a dslr. A girl can dream, can't she?
• Bachmann’s statements on stimulus raise a few eyebrows – “We’re running out of rich people in this country.”
