Speedlinking is yet another tool of the lazy blogger. Basically I smash together a bunch of interesting links that I collect every so often, and write a sentence or two about them.

• Brian Wesbury, an optimist, noted economist, and writer for the Journal says that The Economy Is Fine (Really)
• The Reds are trying to build up some goodwill and sell more tickets in Central Ohio by refurbishing 13 baseball diamonds in Columbus.
• uʍop-ǝpısdn ʇxǝʇ ɹnoʎ dılɟ
• In Excel, sometimes you want to add those “hidden” apostrophes to numerical data so that it becomes a string. Use this VB function as a macro to do that en masse.
• Have you played Passage yet?
• Type in the url of your website, and find out what other sites are hosted on the same server. Obviously, this isn’t going to be very interesting if you have a dedicated server. Sites hosted on the same server as mgroves.com include: The Getaway Gift Shop, Atheist-blog, Big Tree Marketing, Beauty Madness (tickles-and-things.com).
• A save game exploit was found in Zelda: Twilight Princess that allows unsigned code to be run. This is similar to the PSP exploit that eventually allowed the system to be “soft-modded” (i.e. run homebrew/pirated programs). That can’t be done on the Wii yet, but maybe soon.
