That is why everyone should always have their data in multiple spots - Shevonne

It would be much better Thomas. Going directly to delete is a strange policy. - Todd Hoff

If I'd waited a few more minutes, I probably would have gotten "Johnny, shorn" instead. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill)

"Crystal Renn models a Jean-Paul Gaultier creation in 2005. Photograph: Philippe Wojazer/Reuters When Crystal Renn was anorexic, her career as a model flourished. She had had heart palpitations. She was so weak that she fainted if she walked too far, and her bones had poked out sharply from under her paper-thin, taut, grey skin. But she was a US size zero – a UK size two – and the work rolled in. But it was when Renn started eating and expanded to a UK size 16 that her career really took off. In Hungry, her autobiography, described by Nigella Lawson as "a riveting read" and launched on Tuesday at a glittering Manhattan party, the highest-paid plus-size model in America talks of the delicate new dawning of a vogue for women who are "lush and sparkly, with nary a jutting collarbone in sight". Renn says that while "crazy town still loves to gawp at the ultra-slim" there is a growing appetite in the fashion world for "the natural shapes a woman's body takes when it's not being deprived of food"." via This Recording: http://thisrecording.tumblr.com/post... - edythe from Bookmarklet

I think I know some people who would agree with this list. ;) Especially if Jenny Lewis were substituted in there for Wainwright. - Jandy from Bookmarklet

"This is where real reading comes in -- because it demands that space, because by drawing us back from the present, it restores time to us in a fundamental way. There is the present-tense experience of reading, but also the chronology of the narrative, as well as of the characters and author, all of whom bear their own relationships to time. There is the fixity of the text, which doesn't change whether written yesterday or a thousand years ago. St. Augustine composed his "Confessions" in AD 397, but when he details his spiritual upheaval, his attempts to find meaning in the face of transient existence, the immediacy of his longing obliterates the temporal divide. "I cannot seem to feel alive unless I am alert," Charles Bowden writes in his recent book, "Some of the Dead Are Still Breathing" (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt: 244 pp., $24), "and I cannot feel alert unless I push past the point where I have control." That is what reading has to offer: a way to eclipse the boundaries, which is a form of giving up control." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

I read. A lot. Including a lot of books. And when I'm not reading, I'm usually writing. - Dennis Jernberg

Eyebex didn't like Flickr using his name as an endorsement to try to recruit new members so he changed his name on Flickr to "only an idiot." Now instead of Flickr's advert reading "Eyebex uses Flickr -- so can you," it reads "only an idiot uses Flickr -- so can you." A lot of paid Flickr Pro account users who were promised ad free photosharing and browsing are upset that Flickr is using both their stream and their identity for advertising. - Thomas Hawk from Bookmarklet

Joelle, you will see it again if you clear the right portions of your browser bowels, thought that is not my concern/point. I am unhappy about not having control over what appears on my page (which I pay for) and about Flickr using my name to promote themselves without my consent. - eyebex

googleupdate.exe :-( Trying to remove it drove me nuts, until i looked in scheduled tasks. - Siddharth Mitra

Another reason I like Linux. All of my software is updated through the same mechanism and it isn't annoying like that. :) - Travis B. Hartwell

"Being chosen as one of these elite few can mean a huge increase in your photo’s views and the number of comments and favourites you receive. Land on the front page of Explore, Flickr’s home page, and magical things happen, all of which having to do with increasing your ego, none of which actually leads to earning money as a photographer. But who cares, when you are royalty on Flickr for a day." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

I knew about the Lensbaby, but i didnt know about the 'Creative Aperture Kit' you could use on them to create shapes in the light. That, i like :) - Simon Wicks

Oh SNAP: "Apple's decision to reject Google Voice apps for the iPhone -- possibly at AT&T's request -- has prompted an FCC investigation into the anti-competitive nature of the move. The US government agency on Friday sent letters to Apple, AT&T and Google asking them to explain their roles in both rejecting Google's own app as well as pulling at least two third-party apps that were already available." - Kevin Fox from Bookmarklet

Personally this has 2 ugly aspects: retrospectively rejecting apps from the app store and what it could mean for apps like Spotify which clearly compete with one of apple's profit centers. - Adewale Oshineye

"Digital clock: only figures, no case, only the necessary – only accurate time. Each figure has self-contained power supply and independent control, it can be fixed to any surface autonomously. A light sensor will switch the clock to an invert mode: the figures are white in the dark time of day and black at daytime." - AJ Batac :) from Bookmarklet

@nor - don't some car dashboards do something nearly as good with the black-white reversals? - Andrew C (✓)

"The Chicagoan was a Chicago culture magazine published from June 1926 until April 1935. In the years after it folded the magazine was largely forgotten about until 73 years later when Neil Harris rediscovered the magazine and published The Chicagoan: A Lost Magazine of the Jazz Age. “It’s a crescent-shaped town, 26 miles by 15, along a great lake that’s begun to weaken and recede. No wonder. An unchallenged murder record — a splendid university — hobo capital to the country — railroad ruler, corn baron, liquor king — and the finest of grand opera. Altogether the most zestful spectacle on this sphere.”" - Bibi from Bookmarklet

"Far from the hapless image he portrays on screen, Simon Pegg is deadly serious about his Hollywood ambitions. Here he may be best known for his roles as an uptight cop or zombie chaser, but in LA he’s a friend to A-list stars and hotly sought after by directors from Tarantino to Spielberg." - RAPatton from Bookmarklet

Which is a good thing, but just hearing he was in it was enough for me to queue it up on Netflix and omg that is two hours Ican't get back. I implore everyone not to watch. - Richard Lawler

Yummmmmmyyyyyy - Shevonne

@Robyn, If you mean the mushrooms, those are very easy to make :) You wash them and put white cheese/blue cheese inside (or if you like some other cheese more, use that), and then just wrap them with bacon. Then those are ready to be grilled. - Neya

"School is out in most places and warmer weather has arrived. The sounds of the street are filled with children's laughter and the catchy jingle of the ice cream man. Stop there parents — you won't need to shell out for overpriced and unhealthy treats anymore. Instead, try this cheaper make-at-home cold summer treat, a great way to get healthy fruit into our kids with a little something special. This is a fun project for kids to help with. They will enjoy coming up with interesting ways of decorating their own "popsicle." Who doesn't love an ice cold treat when it's hot outside?" - Rachel Lea Fox from Bookmarklet

"Just trash it! This waste bin is amazing. It’s basically made of nothing. It’s minimalism maximized without being a displeasing amount of simple. Make sense? I mean it looks nice. It’s not just a barrel. It’s got a cover, but it opens up in an extremely clever way. It’s basically exacly what’s up in the garbage bin hood. Oscar would agree, this particular bin is just exquisite. I do wonder how it would look with a removable garbage bag placed in the bucket there. Would it be then ugly? Mayhap. Grace Youngeun Lee has here a bin for consideration. Simplicity it is." - Kol Tregaskes from Bookmarklet

I find that Twitter's lack of preparation to deal with demand is very similar to Google's experience with Orkut--- where they did not predict the exponential rise in load when Brazilians chose Orkut as their favored social network. At least Google had the money to invest in adding server space, but even then, it took a while to be prepared for the demand. - Paula W
