Links I Like

Here are some links you might find interesting!

GPS Guided Trans-Atlantic Robot Boat – This is cool. A guy built a hobby boat that he’s trying to sail across the Atlantic. He launched today, but it looks like it got caught in a current and might have beached itself. Alas. But, I’m definitely going to be keeping up with this!

Nine Ways to Bide Your Time Waiting for The Hobbit – Actually, we won’t be having too much trouble. The Knitting Nest is doing a Nerd Knitting Night and we’re knitting some Fellowship of the Ring socks. Yeah, it’s not The Hobbit, but it’s Tolkein, so we get credit!!

From the Attorney General to the KKK in 1970

N.T Wright on Women Bishops in the Anglican Church

Rosie Girl would love this link about origami!
