Today's random assortment of links will be even MORE tenuously linked than planned, because I managed to somehow delete the entire original post right before publishing. YARGH.

Anyway.

Terry Pratchett talks about what it's like to have Alzheimer's. Most amazing quote, to me at least: "The brain is filling up the space with something else."

I am an avid fan of old photographs, so you can imagine how much I love this collection of a 19th century artist and world traveler who painted his black and white photos (and left instructions on how he did it).

The FCC has put OpenInternet.gov online, and welcomes discussion on net neutrality.

Journalism's gallows humor is still around: behold the Magazine Death Pool. RIP, Gourmet.

And finally, just because it's baseball playoff season and I've wanted to post this for a while: Umpire Tim Tschida performs the rarely seen interpretive "Balk de Pitcher" dance.

Links from others tomorrow. Lots of 'em!
