Just Posting Random Links

After I twittered about the earwax saga, Phantom sent me a link to a medical journal article on earwax removal. You might find it useful. Or amusing. Or both. I’ve already sent a copy to the school nurse; I’ll give a copy to the pediatrician next month.

I’ve been quite fascinated with Andrew Sullivan’s blog – mostly he’s posting snips and links to other stuff, but it’s good stuff I’m not seeing elsewhere and his point of view is interesting. He’s also got a “dead-tree” piece in the November issue of the Atlantic, which is also available in eco-friendly on-line form. It’s called “Why I Blog” and it’s worth a read.

Last, but by no means least, Jen and Mad and Su rounded up another batch of Just Posts for September, and included one of mine - the one in which I suggested little ways to make a difference in the world.   Incidentally, Kiva came in third in the Amex voting, and will get a $300,000 grant.
