Links for September 14th through September 18th

- Times to Stop Charging for Parts of Its Web Site - New York Times - It’s finally official. I was able to freeload off my parents’ membership during the lean Times Select years, but the rest of you suckers will now have access as well. Free archives back to 1987!
- L. Ron Hubbard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - The wikipedia section on L. Ron Hubbard’s turn in the U.S. Navy always makes me picture Arrested Development’s G.O.B. in charge of his own sub-hunter. The later section on the Sea Org is just disturbing–dude was an epic asshole
- Electoral Vote Shuffle | The American Prospect - A good piece on how state control over the standards for federal elections messes up everything and leads to undemocratic results
- Working on a Building | Slog | The Stranger | Seattle’s Only Newspaper - Dubai now has the world’s tallest building, at 555 meters. It may end up at over 700. Dubai and Vegas aren’t sister cities, but they should be.
