Links for Today

Happy generic Hallmark created holiday everyone. Here is a list of interesting things.

• The brilliant anti-corruption lawyer and author Lawrence Lessig on Obama. I apologize if at any time my rather strong support for Barack Obama has offended anyone who reads this. If you at all on the fence about this guy or just don't really know a lot about him, this is a good thing to see.
• The Reuters news agency releases its semantic web tool. Put in a document of anything and it will spit out metadata, tags, and other information. Very handy for searches. If you could have this accept spatial data you could whip up a generic search tool like what appears on Google Earth.
• Firefox 3 beta 3 is out. Faster and more stable than Firefox 2, which means several orders of magnitude better than IE7.
• Miro. I don't care if I mentioned this in a previous links post, it is still awesome. Free shows and music videos (TED talks, PBS Frontline, The Onion).
• The Escapist; funny game reviews. Funny even if you never played them or only have a passing interest in video games.
• This comic is almost as misogynistic as the comment I left on my mother's blog.
