Roger here. Bird Dog has gone to the spa to take the waters. And by "spa," I mean tavern. And by "waters," I mean single malt. Anyway, he's left me to guard the chicken coop until he can finish his sabbatical, and make bail. I don't know what to talk about. That's because I'm not interesting, the way Bird Dog is.

I'm not interesting, but that's beside the point. What makes me even more useless to the lovely people here at the Farm is that I'm not interested. I don't care about much of anything that makes the front page of the papers, or the nightly news, or Huffpo. At least, I think I'm not interested, because I have no idea what's going on at those venues. It's not a pose like you'd suppose. I think it's all twaddle and avoid looking at it.

I'll try to take the path less traveled, and look for interesting things:

IBM's reputation at risk in wake of census bungle

I was unaware that IBM had any sort of reputation left to bungle. Apparently, they can't even count kangaroos now.

Kansas couple sues IP mapping firm for turning their life into a “digital hell”

I've been subjected to digital hell myself, so I'm sympathetic. But enough about my physical exam.

Should Early Autism Intervention Include Multiple Languages? You Bet!

Never mind autistic kids. Why doesn't every kid speak more than one language? Me pega.

Upping the volts will make hybrid cars much cheaper

First sentence: "VOLTAGE is to electricity what pressure is to water." I don't think so.

New “Bionic” Leaf Is Roughly 10 Times More Efficient Than Natural Photosynthesis

This is called "begging the question," even though it's not a question. It's the smug version of petitio principii. The real question is whether natural photosynthesis is particularly efficient. It isn't. There's just a lot of it going on.

The fall of Schwinn

I find it more edifying to read the news from twenty years ago. All the fibs have mellowed.

How English Gave Birth to Surprising New Languages

I didn't see whatever Guy Fieri speaks mentioned. The list should be expanded.

Now is a really good time to buy a helicopter

As opposed to tomorrow, when you'll need the money for Hamburger Helper

How to Make an Inca Mummy

A bottle of Mateus and Marvin Gaye records always did the trick for me.

Lessons in Small Scale Manufacturing From The Othermill Shop Floor

They make little mills that produce printed circuit boards. They run a factory that makes tiny desktop factories. And you lived to see it.

Well, that's today's roundup of links. You can now return to your regularly scheduled conniption fit about the election.
