For those worried that I would forget, I’m happy to prove you wrong with another collection of ten weekly links. You’re welcome to post ten of your own, and link here if you do!

1. ARTISTIC NUDES?: Photographer Spencer Tunick brought 1,800 people to Austria’s Happel Stadium with nudity in mind. It was for a series of photos he described as combining “the spirit of sports, the grand sweeping waves of stadium architecture and the abstract relation of the human form to modern structures.” “Oh, and photographing a lot of naked people sure does get you a lot of attention,” he did not add.

2. DOES HE ALWAYS GET THIS WAY?: Okay, okay…I don’t watch those commentary shows on the cable news channels, so I honestly have no idea of the political leanings of people like Hannity and Colmes. I saw a link to a rant by Keith Olbermann that turned out to be a tirade in two parts. Here’s part 1. Then, here’s part 2. Is he always like this? He’s gonna pop a vessel.

3. TOO COOL TO BE POINTLESS: Since iPhones can do anything, why not turn them retro with a rotary phone option? Someone has designed the interface to make it happen. Would you use it?

4. BIG APPLE MELTDOWN: A New York City anchorwoman has apologized for dropping the f-bomb during a live news promo that she thought was being taped. Later in that night’s late news, she offered this in the way of an apology: “While we were live just after 10 o’clock, I said a word that many people find offensive. I am truly sorry. It was a mistake on my part, and I sincerely apologize.” There aren’t many anchors who can make such a blatant mistake and still have a job the next morning. She appears to be one of the few. One of the basic rules of television is that you make sure you never say anything you wouldn’t want broadcast anywhere near a microphone. You never know when it’s on the air, and it will always be on at the worst possible moment.

5. WHO KNEW?: So there’s this wildly popular show called American Idol. How old is the typical AI viewer? Give up? Get ready to be surprised.

6. JUST WHAT WAS MISSING: Coming soon to a tombstone near you: barcodes. Why not? They’re on everything else. These particular barcodes can be scanned by cell phones and the phones will receive photos, biographical information about the dearly departed. I can’t decide if this is a good idea or not. Something about seems a little creepy to me.

7. IMPERFECT STORM: The National Hurricane Center has some ‘splainin’ to do after this week’s storm advisory which appeared out of the blue. The good news was that the Carolinas were not under a Hurricane Warning. The bad news is that they were testing software when the now-outdated story made its way to media outlets hither and yon.

8. NEED A LITTLE LIGHT?: Just install one of these. That’s right, you, too, can have a skylight in any room of your home, even in the basement. These backlit fake skylights are designed to mimic what you’d see in a real skylight. A nifty idea when there’s nothing to look at other than an empty ceiling. It sure beats counting ceiling tiles.  (Link corrected.)

9. NEED A LITTLE LIGHT FOR A LONG TIME?: When does a light bulb generate more than light? When it has been burning continuously for 107 years. The Livermore, California Fire Department Station No. 6 is the home of a low-watt light bulb that has made the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s longest-burning bulb. The firefighters are quite protective of the novelty: “Touch it,” jokes one captain, and “you’ll get your fingers chopped off.”

10. OFFER YOU CAN’T REFUSE?: Think you could make $5,000 from your bed? Get your minds out of the gutter! NASA is looking for people who are willing to basically stay in bed for 90 straight days. This could be a dream job. And for your trouble, they’re willing to pay $17,000. The reason? To learn more about the body and the effects of extended space travel, which are similar to the effects of being in bed for a long period of time. The effects, incidentally, can be particularly serious. Yep, knew there had to be a catch.

That’s my 10. Do you have 10 of your own?
