Here's so more cool stuff I read recently:

• A food blog I read has started an series introducing newcomers to Indian cooking. Their first recipe is for spiced potatoes.
• Virginia Postrel discusses the first generation to grow up in a "transparent society", where so much information about people is so readily accessible.
• A recent Gallup poll finds that a surprising number of Americans would be unwilling to vote for a "generally well-qualified" candidate based on race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Atheists fare the worst, but Muslims weren't included in the survey.
• Morning Coffee is a cool Firefox extension for managing all those sites you read daily (ESPN) or weekly (The Onion) in your browser, instead of a feed reader.
• Jesse Ruderman finds that, even in software's language configuration options, politics causes animosity. Whether one includes the flags of Taiwan or Palestine is also a frequent dispute.
• Ready for your crontab is a one-line script to remove duplicate files from any UNIX system using the MD5 sums.
• A coworker introduced me to UNIX's lsof tool (included in Mac OS X), which lets you list internet connections, running processes and more.
