Most days, I try to find some time over lunch to skim through Google Reader. As I do, I right-click stories and open them up in a bunch of tabs. Throughout the rest of the day, I click through one by one as I find time.
Today's tabs are an unusual mix--and probably could lead into several blog posts. However, I want to take tomorrow off to go to Tulip Time in Pella with Jeff, and that means I need to focus today!
So here are the tabs. Have fun!
1. Local Ames, Iowa, Girl Scouts are granted a provisional patent for an assistive hand device for a toddler without fingers. (Go Flying Monkeys!)
2. Politico contributor Bill Schneider says that Obama needs to watch out for the "passion gap" as he prepares for 2012.
3. Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson tells a Des Moines crowd that her plans for the 2012 Olympics in London are on track.
4. Nobody really wants to eat at Sbarro.
5. The excellent Science Museum of Minnesota (where daughter Lauren and I once met Dr. Jane Goodall!) is mummifying a chicken in their parking garage (for science, of course). Mummification takes a LONG time and smells worse than the staff expected, they've learned.
6. Jesse Bering, at Scientific American's "Bering in Mind" blog, shares an idea for "green burial," inspired by his experience of planning his mother's funeral.
