I went away for the weekend -- riding in Batangas. Met a local rider and we went maybe 50 kilometers (just over 30 mils) around Batangas, from the beach out near the edge of Taal Lake, then back up north where the road forks to Tagaytay, then back out to Nasugbu and halfway down to Calatagan. A super ride, with some good climbs, made better with the sea waiting at the end.

So, here's the weekly link roundup of neat bits and pieces, flavored by the wild.

1. Chimpanzees making spears. With females leading the hunts. Looks like they will evolve to a better women-led civilization.

2. Suicide by jaguar?

3. I want a new drug

4. Manage your family.

5. Legislating poor taste (or, fake privates).

6. Really stupid online business ideas that made someone really rich.

7. Consumer angst empowered?

8. An upside to global warming (not that there is one)?

9. Best logos of 2006.

10. It's raining today.
