Sep. 29th, 2008 08:24 am1. The 10 manliest sea shanties (includes videos) -- even with all my time in the SCA, I only knew half of these. I blame this link for getting "Roll the old chariot" (#2) stuck in my head for over a week. I may need to write an SCA version coming at some point.
2. Quality sleep -- a bit of contrarian advice about how to get better-quality sleep.
3. 10 innovative camping products -- I think we need a #7 for our Pennsic camp. John, what do you say?
4. The real difference between liberals and conservatives (TED talk video by Jonathan Haidt) -- the answers might surprise you. It comes down to values, but not necessarily the ones you might think.
5. Reinventing the school lunch (TED talk video by Ann Cooper) -- I'll give her this: she's passionate. A thought-provoking talk that made me look into local food resources.
6. SOS cuisine -- very cool resource! You enter your postal code, dietary restrictions, and number of people you're cooking for. Then, every week it sends you a customized meal plan, shopping list, and "action plan" based on your choice and what's seasonal and on sale in your local grocery stores. Did I mention it's free?
7. Making and doing: The value of productive hobbies -- a list of inexpensive (and productive) hobbies that not only save you money, but might make you some, as well.
