1. Georgia's crackdown on illegal immigrants has apparently led to millions of dollars' worth of crops rotting in the fields.

2. That didn't take long. Recruiting scandal at Oregon. Via.

3. Scott Beale is determined to suck up more of my free time with a photography tumblr.

4. Very accurate description of introverts (or me, at least).

5. Sword & Sworcery is $1 for the iPod today. Peggle's free for Android at Amazon, but my wife's Droid (still under its initial contract!) is apparently too antiquated to download and run it.

The new ordinance will require home improvement stores like Home Depot to provide day-labor centers with shelter, drinking water, bathrooms and trash cans. I don't know if day laborers are common in other cities, but in Los Angeles, people congregate in front of most paint stores and large hardware stores hoping to find a manual labor job for the day. And I don't mean just one or two people. In the morning, it's common to see dozens of men standing on the sidewalk, waiting for work.

It's certainly an interesting law, I can't imagine it's very popular with any large group of voters. Link to article.
