My del.icio.us bookmarks for November 24th through December 11th

These are my links for November 24th through December 11th:

  • Austenbook – Pride and Prejudice as a series of Facebook messages.
  • Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply – A decent source for oystershell lime and other amendments that are hard to find at the garden store — often in really big, fairly cheap bags. (Start a buying co-op for soil amendments?)
  • Transporting Broiler Chickens Could Spread Antibiotic-Resistant Organisms – “Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health have found evidence of a novel pathway for potential human exposure to antibiotic-resistant bacteria from intensively raised poultry — driving behind the trucks transporting broiler chickens from farm to slaughterhouse.”
  • Design*Sponge: Paper Holiday – Gift Wrapping – Nifty, frugal ways to make a gift look extra fancy.
  • You Bastard: A Narrative Exploration of the Experience of Indignation within Organizations – “Our patience with forming interpretations and reinterpretations of others’ behaviour is not unlimited. The time comes when we lose interest in trying to understand, and conclude that another person is behaving in a way that is simply unacceptable. This paper explores the narratives that go with immoderate indignation, even for those best versed in the idea that they should attempt to understand the perspective of the other.”
