Geeky Links

Here are some of my favorite geeky links that I have found this week!

tesla-2011-04-01-600-01 — Tesla Roadster 2.5 Sport (picture from Engadget)

Normally I wouldn’t say that a car is a geeky thing. But when it is a Tesla, that is geeky! Engadget has a review of the Roadster 2.5. Gorgeous!
GeekDad has a great Dork Tower comic for all of us who have seen the PBS show Dinosaur Train! I have thought about this every time it is on and always wondered if I should tell the kids;).

A MIT professor has developed an artificial leaf that can provide power for a house! I would love to see something like this in the market. That is where I think we will see how well it really works.

The Frustration of the Double Standard

March 30, 2011 NerdMom 1 Comment

I really dislike double standards but I realize that they unknowingly happen. You find yourself holding the older child to a different standard than the younger, etc. But once it is pointed out you fix it, right?

Not the Democratic Party.

While I do not disagree per se on the bombing of Libya, it amazes me that President Obama, Hillary Clinton, etc support it. After all the rhetoric that has been spewed from the left about Iraq! At least we had reason to think that ifÂ SaddamÂ Hussein had weapons of mass destruction that he would come after us. And that is in addition to the fact he was torturing his citizens.

So will the people who elected Obama stand up to him and his ilk? So much of the election rhetoric hung on us not doing things just like Libya!

I could rehash some of the most recent crazy rhetoric. But instead I am jut going to point you in the direction of some posts that have done it for me.

Do you think I am wrong? Do you think it is a double standard?
