Thursday round-up
by the editorial team
As we’re off for a much-deserved long weekend here in the US, we’re bringing you the Friday round-up… a day early. Not much going on this week, but a couple of things we thought we’d leave you with:
- We didn’t make it to SXSW this year, but we’ve been trying to keep up. This piece on Nerdcore, from Wired, caught our attention. We love geeky music (ahem, Jonathan Coulton) and just had to share.
- Ever wondered how safe your web-based email really is? Check out this post, and keep it in mind next time you travel and check mail on unfamiliar wireless: Keep your GMail safe.
- And in the category of entirely unrelated but quite interesting finds, check out this beautiful but disturbing photoseries on the spread of malaria from National Geographic. (May be a bit much for those who are squeamish, but an important issue beautifully illustrated.)
Ever see something you think we should include in our weekly round-up? Let us know. We’re always looking for the most interesting bits.
