[Photographs of the guards and staff of Auschwitz Concentration Camp having a good old time](http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2007/09/frolicking_in_the_shadow_of_hell.php). Looking at these sent a tremendous shiver down my spine.
[Pictures of Saturn from the Cassini probe](http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2007/10/15/cassini-10-years-and-counting/). It's incredible to think that space probes like this have only been around for 30 years.
[Senator Online will have a party vote on every issue](http://senatoronline.com.au/). Running two candidates in five states. Probably a bad idea, but it would be interesting to see it…
[Serena Software requires staff to use Facebook for an hour a week](http://valleywag.com/tech/bad-ideas/friday-is-facebook-day-318507.php). I hope HR at work is paying attention.
[How to tell if you might be a quant](http://web.mit.edu/alo/www/Papers/quant.pdf). Easy to spot, hard to tame.
*Announcements*: * Coalition announces [another $1.6b in roads, this time for SA](http://liberal.org.au/info/news/detail/20071105_Our2020PlanforSouthAustraliasTransportFuture.php). * ALP announces a [homelessness policy](http://alp.org.au/media/1107/mshouloo050.php).

[Pac Man as a text adventure](http://kotaku.com/gaming/pac_man/pac+txt-a-pac+man-text-adventure-318490.php). Funny stuff. There's a lot clever text adventures ('Interactive Fiction') out there.
[A necklace in the form of a coffee molecule](http://www.thinkgeek.com/apparel/jewelry/9d8f/). Well, in the stylised diagram form at least.
[A simple map with a lot of accuracy](http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2007/11/03/199-a-simplified-map-of-london/). OK, a bit mean. But it's certainly how The City sees it.
