Link round-up

I'm a little busy today, preparing for three different projects even though I can only actually do 1.5 of them. So as is common on days like this, I have a list of things I don't have time to read:

• Jeff Atwood suggests ways of minimizing online douchery.
• The Economist Gulliver blog maps how many times French people kiss when greeting each other. Hint: It's more than Americans.
• Pilot and journalist Jim Fallows explains yesterday's aviation accident outside D.C. involving a helicopter and a small plane.
• Cranky Flier debunks the myth of cheap airfares on Sunday.
• Krugman gets annoyed at people who call for moderate Obama policies without seeming to understand that they're advocating proposals the Republican Congress has already killed.
• A Barnes and Noble in the Bronx is the last general bookstore there, sadly.

I really would have liked another week in London...
