  2. Felix Salmon bait: “She was just informed by the IRS that her application would have to wait because they’ve received 4,500 applications for new nonprofits to respond to the disaster in Japan.” 4,500 new charities for Japan, hat tip Chris Blattman.
  3. These guys wrote a 300/1200/9600 baud and DTMF softmodem on an AVR 8-bit microcontroller: Byonics.
  4. Apple: time to move on from Commodore 64 software. ForkBombr.
  5. Coasting in neutral does not save gas. Popular Mechanics, hat tip Dave Winer.

  7. So, we should eat more horse and rare pork. Alex Tabarrok.
