Ah a link bloggers life for me...
- Looks like the Grand Canyon's newest attraction has opened up - and just to convince people that the insane walkway made of glass is safe.  I know that it's probably just fine and safe and everything, but I still think I'd rather eat glass than walk on it that high above the Canyon.
 - Holy schiznits, Tubby Smith is heading to Minnesota.  Looks like the girl and I will have some company on our vacation this summer.  I guess the fans never got over the fact that his first year was 35-4 with a national championship.  It's all been downhill since then with his craptacular 260-83 (by my count) record in his ten years as UK coach.  God, he sucked.
 - Chuck a Dwarf - my new high is getting to round five.
 - Steve Alford hired at New Mexico the further they get this pompus snot from the Midwest and his New Castle hometown, the better.  I rooted for him when he was raining down threes at IU, but the jerk became dead to me once he was a pain in the backside as Manchester College's coach playing at Wabash and walking off the court when his team was playing poorly.
 - Nice article about some impressive trees 'round the world
 - A blogger chose to eat for a month on $1 a day.  Here are his thoughts throughout the month.  It's an interesting read, and much more compelling than his follow-up of cartoonist for a month.
 - Caught a few minutes of Warriors of Virtue, and I'm not sure I've seen a freakier few minutes of film - very streaky, highly affected & effected fight scenes for a kids' film.  I think I'll have to hunt this one down.
 - Some odd facts, figures, and trivia about Oscar awards, bumbled into while looking up the last movie to sweep the Oscars - Silence of the Lambs, in case you were curious.
 - How to declutter your desk and keep all your computer peripherals neatly organized.  This may be a summer project at work for me, because I'm quickly getting fed up with the way my computer set-up looks.
 - I'm a bit of a curious lexicographer, so a website that looks at origins of various phrases and sayings seems interesting enough, and I've spent a fair bit of time skimming through it.
 - I think The Ultimate Warrior was totally bonkers - and might be more bonkers now that he's gone crazy, nutso religious.
 - The best comic strip ever - combining my love of D&D and chemistry.
 - Last year I pointed out that a minor league team was offering a burger on a Krispy Kreme donut.  This year, I point out that the same team is offering deep-fried sliders.  Oh, god, I would love that.

Mom and I are doing a drive southwest this summer and are debating a sidetrip to the skywwalk (north rim is already on the list) only 1 problem... neither of us will walk on it.
Yeah, it looks neat and all...might be worth seeing...but I don't think I could step out on it...
