Amygdala. Gary Farber, who consistently finds the most obscure interesting links in the news, needs some donations to keep from being evicted from his apartment. Complete story here.

Some Amygdala highlights and finds:
Gertrude Bell, the "creator" of Iraq.
Incredible story of how a Masai woman convinced her elders to allow her to accept a scholarship from an American college, becoming the first woman from her village to attain higher education.
A treasure-trove of QTVR panoramic photos.
Appreciations of cult authors.
Scale drawings of fictional starships.
Cool stuff you have to dig for because the permalinks are hosed.
Gary fisks Rush Limbaugh.
Gary fisks kevin Drum.
Some essays by Kanan Makiya.
High school elects nerd as valedictorian as joke, read what happened then.
A history of anti-Americanism.
Osama's neice trying to launch a singing career.
Starting a cross-blog discussion on political labels.

I think I link to Gary more often than any other blog, with the possible exception of LGF. Help him out.
