I'm finally getting around to linking to some of my friend's blogs and journals.
First up, Quintus' Quinary Quincunx of Quinquevalent Quinellas, only recently restarted. It's rather entertaining, you should read it from the beginning, even if you don't know Robert.
Second, Faery dust settling, Kimiberly's LJ. More personal, so I guess it's more for people that know her.
Third, Darkness Rising, Mai-Anh's LJ. Haven't read it yet, so no clue.
I was going to add Lizzy's, but she made it friend's only, so I don't see the point.

Zimbabwe Seeks to Farther Destroy Its Economy
BBC
The Zimbabwean government is set to nationalize all private property, essentially, all land would be considered leased from the government. This comes after a few white farmers won court cases after their land was seized, saying that the seizure was against private property laws. If this goes through, any and all land can be seized by the government no matter what. The reason I say that this will farther destroy the economy is because there a strong correlation between protection of private property rights and economic growth. Why build a successful business if at a moments notice, the government could nationalize it and not compensate you for it?

Sweden just gets better and better
Just guess what my source is
A poll of the image or "brand" of ten nations has placed Sweden in the top spot, due to its many excellent qualities. However, considering that there are nearly 200 countries in the world, it doesn't strike me as a very accurate poll.

Time Travel and You
BBC
The title heading for this article is a little misleading. It's not so much that time travel by way of wormholes is impossible, but you have no way of controlling when, or for that matter where, you'll show up. Still would be pretty exciting if it wasn't for the fact that you'd have probably a 99.999% chance of ending up in the middle of space with no where to go.
