I haven&#8217;t found much time for blogging or photo-taking because I&#8217;ve been busy with gardening &#038; research &#038; ramping up my exercise routine in preparation for outrigger races that will be four or five times as long as previous ones. <\/p>\n<p>However, I thought I&#8217;d create a list of random links to some fascinating items that have crossed my computer screen recently.  And, for those of you who haven&#8217;t yet adopted twitter, you can drop by to see my <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/janaremy\">&#8220;tweets&#8221; for a better idea of my daily happenings.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Two pieces of fascinating art &#038; history from the NY Times: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2009\/07\/06\/opinion\/20090706_opart.html\">on dinosaurs<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/kalman.blogs.nytimes.com\/2009\/06\/25\/time-wastes-too-fast\/\">Monticello<\/a> (perhaps you can see why Jefferson remains my fav founding father, to this day).<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;At times, when I&#8217;ve expressed frustration about the daily pains that come from being an amputee, I&#8217;ve been reminded by the religiously-inclined that such pain will bring me closer to Jesus.  Let me just day that that&#8217;s not a line of thinking that works very well for me.  Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com\/2009\/06\/08\/is-pain-a-moral-good\/\">Freakonomics article that explores the &#8216;necessity&#8217; of pain.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Tired of boring conferences &#038; conventions (for me, no matter how scintillating the conference, I get a headache after about 3 hours of sitting in a hotel ballroom.
