Hacker Meditation
There have been a number of posts around the internet about meditation and how a nerd may begin. I meditate almost everyday now and it has really made a difference in how I focus and work. I am noting a few sites here so that I have somewhere convenient that I can point people. This Ask Hacker News post has a number of good resources if you are still on the fence about meditation. Hivelogic...

bobulate: Sam Anderson, admittedly illiterate in hip-hop, reviews the new Anthology of Rap: See also: A History of Rap As Literature [It shows] one of the great paradoxes of rap: The toughest, coolest, most dangerous-seeming MCs are, at heart, basically just enormous language dorks.

Securing my browsing
The Firesheep brouhaha has made me think more about my security and the websites I connect to.

dictionaryofobscuresorrows: n. the post-distraction effort to recall the reason why you’re feeling particularly anxious or angry or excited, in which you retrace your sequence of thoughts like a kid wandering across the neighborhood gathering the string of a downed kite, which was likely lost in a romantic storm or devoured by that huge carnivorous tree that is Things Your Parents Have Said.
