Friday Links: April 30

Dilbert has a new "License Me" button. It's kinda brilliant. [link]

Game: Puzzles with triangular pieces. It adds a certain something to it. [link]

Personally, I don't like using the stock market to judge the economy. That's just how investors are investing. It can move independently of how many homeless people there are or what the job market is like.

Another Mississippi high school cuts a lesbian student from the yearbook completely. [link]

Dog refused entry to a restaurant, not for being a dog, but for being thought gay. [link]

This is Spinal Tape. [link]

Sony ends floppy disk production. [link]
Currently Sony has 70% of the market. Makes you wonder what the people who have the other 30% do for money.
