Best LEGO Sets in History
I owned a lot of the space and castle ones! Great times... but a pity how few of their current sets resemble these.

Lost in Translation: Alhurra—America’s Troubled Effort to Win Middle East Hearts and Minds
"An Arab-language television network and radio station, founded by the Bush administration to promote a positive image of the United States, has aired anti-American and anti-Israeli viewpoints, has showcased pro-Iranian policies and recently gave air time to a militant who called for the death of American soldiers in Iraq." Since this appears to have happened because of incompetence and not in the name of fairness, that's a big oops!

Blog It: Connecting Social Networks and MT
A Facebook app that lets me syndicate my post to Facebook, if I post from within Facebook. Unfortunately forces me to give up a number of features I use regularly, and it looks like there's no easy way to convert my set-up to use it. Might be if I upgrade to MT 4, tho, which seems more desirable now that Action Streams is out too.

MMA Fight Video
If, like me, you're so busy catching up on Battlestar Galactica that you missed some recent MMA action -- say, last night's UFC bout or last week's WEC matchups -- then MMADepot has a lot of the footage aggregated in one place. If you need to figure out if a guy named "Urijah" can be a badass, this may be the place to go.
