And, yes, among them is the one I like best: Un Chien Andalou. - Rebeca from Bookmarklet
And, yes, I watched the Un Chien Andalou on there for a little bit yesterday since I already watched it recently. - Bo
"For a little bit" meaning you didn't watch it in its entirety? - Rebeca
Yes, I know I have sinned. - Bo

"Light means a lot to me in life. You know, I mean I hate to be in rooms that are not - that don't have dimension and beautiful light. And I have the same feeling about living in a place that doesn't have dimension and beautiful light. I mean, I hate Los Angeles. It's like living inside a toaster oven, you know." -- Nice interview. And now I'm curious about New York in the winter. [Yes, it's been added to my imaginary to do list.] - Rebeca from Bookmarklet

Phys Ed: Why Exercise Makes You Less Anxious - http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009...
"'It looks more and more like the positive stress of exercise prepares cells and structures and pathways within the brain so that they’re more equipped to handle stress in other forms,' says Michael Hopkins, a graduate student affiliated with the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory Laboratory at Dartmouth, who has been studying how exercise differently affects thinking and emotion. "It’s pretty amazing, really, that you can get this translation from the realm of purely physical stresses to the realm of psychological stressors.' The stress-reducing changes wrought by exercise on the brain don’t happen overnight, however, as virtually every researcher agrees. In the University of Colorado experiments, for instance, rats that ran for only three weeks did not show much reduction in stress-induced anxiety, but those that ran for at least six weeks did. 'Something happened between three and six weeks,' says Benjamin Greenwood, a research associate in the Department of Integrative Physiology... - Rebeca

New Insights into Psychopathy - http://lawandbiosciences.wordpress.com/2009...
"New research by Joseph P. Newman at the University of Wisconsin suggests that an attention deficit, rather than an inability to feel emotion, may be what makes people psychopaths." - Rebeca
There are some good movies in this list. [I've been re-watching some movies I like in theauteurs, Hulu, and other websites. Unfortunately, not all of these movies are viewable outside the U.S.] - Rebeca
Nassim Haramein: The Fractal Nature of Reality - http://thereducingvalve.blogspot.com/2009...
Fractals are interesting [and perhaps more importantly, they can be useful]. This post reminded me of the special PBS had and which can be watched online: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh... - Rebeca

FDA: Procter & Gamble Unlawfully Marketing Two Vicks Cold and Flu Medicines Containing Vitamin C - http://www.fda.gov/NewsEve...
I've known about this story for a while, but does anyone know what show had it? Is it on youtube? - http://www.astrobio.net/index...
"A long time ago, I saw a television program about a marine biology lab. It housed among other things, tanks of tropical fish, as well as a tank containing an octopus. Over the course of several days, scientists began to notice that the population of fish were diminishing. They were not dying – there were no bodies floating on the water’s surface in the morning. Fish were simply vanishing, one by one. Other than a mysterious wet spot on the floor, nothing in the lab seemed, well, fishy. Determined to solve the mystery, the research staff resorted to espionage. They mounted a video camera in the lab before they left for the evening. In the morning, the tape revealed all. As soon as the door closed behind the last scientist, the octopus hefted itself out of its tank, slid noiselessly onto the lab floor (hence the wet spot), climbed up the shelf to the fish tank, helped itself to a tropical fish or two, then slid calmly back to its own quarters, where it was, as always, found in the morning." - Rebeca from Bookmarklet

Google's New Campus in Kirkland - http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009...
My local gym doesn't have that USB thing. I'll forward this to them and demand they implement it [probably by the time I'm gone]. I'm not even sure if they have wifi, but if they do, the dailyburn app (http://dailyburn.com/apps) should be enough, right? If not, I'll have to stick with my high-tech pencil and paper. - Rebeca

Less spam is good, but when will we get an option to block most useless apps (e.g. games, quizzes) altogether? Using Facebook Lite means I don't see those apps, but Facebook Lite is far from perfect. - Rebeca
Coming Soon: Twitter in More Languages - http://blog.twitter.com/2009...
Finally! However, I'll probably continue to recommend the use of brizzly and seesmic web to make the best out of twitter since they're already available in more languages and have more functionality. (Yet another reason why friendfeed was better than twitter.) - Rebeca
