Interesting posts this week…

Shalini talks about her recent debate with a creationist on male nipples and how (??) men evolved from women. I really fail to understand this argument completely.

Researchers have found possibly the most rapid in place evolution ever scientifically observed. I guess that sort of puts Creationists into a corner about how impossible it is to observe evolution.

TipMonkies gives up 9 easy to remember WordPress shortcuts for use during writing/editing. Extremely handy, I never even knew these existed and I’m a sucker for keyboard shortcuts!

Those wanting to kill some nosy web spiders can thank Perishable Press for writing up a very handy comprehensive mod_rewrite list for giving those spiders a handy 403.

Ebonmuse offers up a good argument against using religion as a basis for morality. Since us non-theists lack religion, people think we lack morality but we counter with the fact that they lack common sense.

Tim O’Reilly (yes, the same Tim O’Reilly who started O’Reilly Media, Inc.) discusses, with pure web data only, Ubuntu’s rise in popularity versus Red Hat, the most recognizable name in Linux distributions today. Simply by using web analytics as his metric, Tim definitely shows with ease how quickly Ubuntu is gaining ground as “the” Linux distribution of the masses.

I think I may have others open on my work PC but I’m not sure. These are definitely some of the more interesting posts I’ve seen this week, culled from my feed reader.
