Linky Links

 Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Space Junk happens to be a pet concern of mine and this article is perhaps the best I've seen at describing the problem and what is being done to mitigate it.

-  The Google Career Certificate program looks like a viable alternative to college for many.

- Heh Heh

- Victor Davis Hanson describes the sad and scary State of California

- James Altucher with his response to Jerry Seinfeld - Altucher is right! NYC is in very serious danger. But here's the thing - to most outsiders (like me) many of the issues plaguing NYC are self-inflicted so sympathy is almost non-existent. 

- Company claims it can use nuclear waste to make batteries that can go 28,000 years without charging.

- Speaking of California - Governor Newsom assures Californians that wildfires are "mostly peaceful"
