The Good:

• TuneUp cleans iTunes library - While my collection isn't quite as large as this, I've run into problems with the iTunes library. I need to take a look at this to see if it might be helpful. Main concern -- I've done a lot of tailoring of the info downloaded from Gracenote, and wouldn't want that frelled up.
• Top 10 Computer Annoyances and How to Fix Them [Lifehacker... - Bookmarking this. At least a couple look worth pursuing.
• Eschewing all those newfangled diet and fitness trends,... - Could I learn to keep bullies from kicking sand in my face? Sure -- by not going to the beach.
• Taking care of your voice during a convention - Not just conventions, but any number of other times when this would be handy for this.

The Bad:

• BDSM Black Canary Barbie - Yes, someone has their fishnets in a knot about Barbie wearing a Black Canary outfit -- even thought that outfit graced the covers of many Comics Code Authority-approved comic books for years, as well as showing up in a cartoon on TV for kids. Must be a slow publicity week ...
• Library of Congress: DRM a serious obstacle to archiving -- But, of course, we can't let something like preserving the nation's cultural heritage get in the way of protecting intellectual property from 1337 Hackers and Evil Pirates!

The Ugly:

• Ibruprofen is so evil, it must come from the Devil... - Because, of course, no week is complete without some insane Zero Tolerance school policy rearing its ugly head -- in this case, leading to a female student being strip searched because someone else claimed that she had gotten an Ibruprofin tablet from her ... y'know, like the ones you can get jars of 1000 of down at CostCo?
