Plastic cable ties

Sorry -- things are busy today. Not much time to blog. (Maybe tonight?)

A list of small, useful things (links):

• Paul Hogdes talks about the economic effects of the Japan earthquake. Short version: nothing good.
• Derek Lowe pulls in entries for The Duck of Sabotage.
• Curious Wavefunction has (as always) a nice essay on nuclear power and its detractors.
• Glen has a nice post on how to behave with (involuntarily) leaving your employer.
• John reminds the organic chemist as to who we owe our livelihoods.
• Are animals and aminals the same? Sharon says no.
• What the heck is this piece of glassware?
• Th'Gaussling marvels at XRF instruments and talks about process materials.
• Do you have paralysis-by-analysis? Sometimes, I do.
• Jyllian has some tough-to-look-at pictures from damaged labs in Japan.
• Carmen's going to blog on new med-chem structure disclosures on Sunday. I always look forward to those!
