[What's the natural equilibrium point for steroid use in sports](http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2007/dec/14/marksspencer.europe?gusrc=rss&feed=networkfront). Personally I'm strongly in favour of allowing all drugs. The athletes are going to risk their lives anyway,…

[Another complex, confusing film](http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/thesignal/trailer/). Looks great. I love films you come out of going 'what on earth did that mean?'.

[In the 1920s Australian radios had to be locked to a single frequency](http://www.boingboing.net/2007/12/04/australian-drm-from.html). Of course, arguably some of the current policies about DRM are just as silly.

[The best astronomy pictures of 2007](http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2007/12/13/top-ten-astronomy-pictures-of-2007/). There's a lot of universe out there. It'd be nice to go visit it from a bit closer.

[A collection of reviews from Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel](http://bventertainment.go.com/tv/buenavista/ebertandroeper/balcony.html). An enormous collection. A lot of fun to see the take on some of the classic films. They…

[The SMH stretches the limits of 'not identifying'](http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/lawyer-remanded-in-custody/2007/12/28/1198778665451.html?s_cid=rss_news). This is, in my mind, complete contempt of court. You either have a rule that really prevents identification or you…

[The trends in logos for 2007](http://www.logolounge.com/articles/default.asp?ArticleID=540). I would be very happy if the Urban Vinyl designs could calm down a bit, they're nice but don't work for everyone.

[Some highlights from the archives of the New York Times](http://www.kottke.org/07/09/gems-from-the-archive-of-the-new-york-times). When you've got over 150 years of content, you can find some pretty amazing pieces of history.
