Multi-link Mondays
Another round of Multi-link Monday. Tomorrow we'll announce the TV commercial winner (and loser), so be sure to check back then.
• To dreeeeeam....the impossible dreeeeeam. To taaaaaake...the Impossible Quiiiiiiiiiiz... It may not be impossible for you, but it sure is for me. It's a good day when I can get past the first question! Warning: Takes a while to load, but it's worth it. You only get three lives, but you can start over as many times as you want.
• I've linked to SodaConstructor before, but not in a while. It's a cool site that lets you build goofy, springy models and watch them move all around. Like learning physics without the stress of the tests and the homework.
• Usually I link to pretty light fare in Multi-link Monday, but this is more serious. Vanity Fair has a long article about Arthur Miller's son, Daniel, born with Down Syndrome in 1966, when attitudes were much different than they are now. Daniel was institutionalized for much of his life, and his father seems never to have come to terms with him, but the story has a happy ending in that Daniel is now living with a couple who take care of him.
• Our recent Guilty Pleasures feature included one editor admitting her GP is a Weblog about Baby-Sitters' Club books. That series is too young for me, but I have to share these two Weblogs dissecting the Sweet Valley High series, 1Bruce1 and The DairiBurger. Oh, those gorgeous identical twins, their paradise of a California town, and their so-called "problems."
• Reader-submitted link: Misti sends The Oracle of Starbucks, which she picked up from Slate. "If you type in your regular coffee order it will tell you about yourself," she writes. "Apparently I (venti white chocolate mocha) am clueless, and possibly a stripper." Don't feel bad, Misti -- I tried typing in three different drinks and got the "clueless stripper" comment each and every time. Hmm...
