- Daniel Drezner says we have "the worst of all possible Iran policies." (So do I.)
- Author TJ Martinson won't teach at a downstate religious college this coming year because, apparently, someone got around to reading his new novel. (I just put it on my "to be read" list.)
- Architect Greg Tamborino won an affordable-housing contest with a bungalow that can easily convert into a 2-flat...and back again.
- A 210,000-year-old skull found in Greece turned out to be Homo Sapiens, meaning we lived in Neandertal territory for tens of thousands of years longer than previously thought.
- Geographer Garrett Dash Nelson found that looking at the densest bits of urban areas tells you more than looking at overall density.
- New Republic remembers Ross Perot, who died this week, by republishing their August 1993 critique of his populism.
- Scott Hanselman continues to migrate his personal apps from ASP.NET to newer technologies (as I am doing), and continues to write about his struggles doing so.
- Volkswagen will cease production of the Beetle tomorrow; the Tribune has a history of the car from its Nazi origins to its incredible popularity later on.
- Finally, law professor Gregory H Shill points out how subsidies and other legislation basically force most Americans to drive.
