Every once in a while, (and sometimes each day) I listen to a great podcast, enjoy an article, or see a good video that I want to share with you.

I like to think of them as my e-links:
Friday’s e-links (3/29)
1.This week’s Econtalk podcast was a good one. Always interesting, economist Daniel Hamermesh spoke about Spending Time. His focus? What time can cost us, especially if we and our country are affluent.
Friday’s e-links (3/22)
1. For a dose of cleverness with some quirky fun, xkcd is the perfect webcomic. Its creator, Randall Munroe, was a NASA physicist who worked on robots at Langley Research Center. He left to draw cartoons and write rather unusual and wonderful books.
A recent webcomic:
Friday’s e-links (3/15)
1. I’ve just finished the Audible version of To Kill a Mockingbird that was read by Sissy Spacek, Now a hit Broadway show that I hope to see, this perfectly read book was such a thought-provoking pleasure to listen to.
2.This NY Times article on how breast size affects women’s exercise habits complements and updates our sports bra history post.
Friday’s e-links (3/8)
1. You might enjoy (as did I), “The bizarre and brilliant rules for naming new stuff in space.” Saying the universe would otherwise be a mess, a Washington Post journalist explains how themes limit what newly discovered celestial bodies and their geography can be called. Anything on Jupiter’s Io needs to relate to fire. Pluto’s mountains have to be named for historic explorers. Do take a look. There is much more.
2, Again a podcast from Hidden Brain was unusually interesting. In Thursday’s econlife, I share the poker part of the podcast. But they also present a lengthy and fascinating talk with a male nurse.
