3. The Ajumma rebellion in North Korea.

4. The behavioral psychology of scams and scam victims; an interesting paper.

5. What if David Lynch had directed Return of the Jedi?

3. The Ajumma rebellion in North Korea.

When the tough old ladies start protesting, the end is near.

Personally, I’ve liked tough old ladies my entire life (I’m a middle-aged male). If one likes you, you will NEVER have a more loyal friend.

5. That would have been a disaster. But if he directed Episode 2 that might have been an improvement.

The little pop-up things on the books in the margins of the blog are very very annoying.

Very annoying.

Have not seen these in widespread use. Probably because they are so annoying.

I third the motion regarding the pop-up ads. If they went away when my mouse moved off them, that’d be 10 times better. But no; I move the mouse away, and the ad stays up and obscures my view of the content for a couple of seconds (longer if my internet is being slow).

Nthing objection to the pop-up ads. Very very very very annoying.
