My friend and fellow Tech alumnus Will Welch, who has at this point in his life spent six years in college obtaining two degrees, and has contemplated a Congressional run against House Village Idiot Lynn Westmoreland (seen here unable to count of the Ten Commandments after claiming that he cannot think of a better place for them than in a courthouse), recently linked me to a new website, brijit, which is a compilation of hundred word synopses of the news, as provided by such luminous sources as The Economist (my preferred news source), Nature, and ESPN The Magazine. They don’t pay me to write about this, so clearly I’m doing it because I think it’s a good idea. It’s hard to keep up with everything everywhere, so compiling everything into a short snippet can at least keep you reasonably well informed, and the fact that they have opted out of the wiki format means that what cyberhaxXx1991 thinks about the Obama campaign will be kept out, which is never a bad thing.
