These are my links for October 22nd through October 23rd:
- from Vim to Emacs – part 1 –
- Mythbusting: Ideas Do Not Spread Because they are Good | Dan Zarrella – Perhaps finally we can rid ourselves of the admittedly quaint and comforting notion that we only adopt ideas, content and products because of how good and useful they are and start to understand that we adopt them because they are good at getting adopted.
- Amazon.com: The Selfish Gene: Richard Dawkins: Books – Remember that `survival value’ here does not mean value for a gene in a gene pool, but value for a meme in a meme pool.
- Amazon.com: Linksys WVC54GCA Webcam 640×480 802.11G Wireless Internet Home Monitoring Camera: Electronics – Convenient all-in-one wifi webcam for a cheap price.
- Amazon.com: NERF N-STRIKE Vulcan EBF-25 Value Pack: Toys & Games – I still want to get one of these.

This reminds me of a certain QA person at my last place of employment.

Compared to the .sh domains, the .st domains are a bargain at only €35 per year. I’m not going to rush out and buy any of these, but they could be fun projects. I’ll add it to the to.doli.st.
