“trying to sign up for a new (another) flickr account... so frustrating and impossible. I keep getting a sign-in loop between yahoo and flickr. what the eff happened? I miss the ol' skool ways.”
I lurve Roumieu's Bigfoot books and I lurve me some bigfoot lore. A perfect and humorous fit. - JoEllen via Bookmarklet

“Does anyone else find that business and society is seemingly rewarding a "found it first" capability with the same fervor as a "created it" vibe? I think these days finding it first is almost as good as making it. Friendfeed is exactly that. Are there any articles about this phenomenon?”
Does it matter whether there are any articles about it yet? You found it first ;-) - Benedikt Koehler
There is also a steal it first mentality, so I am going to claim this as an original thought without crediting the source. Kidding. :) - Ontario Emperor via fftogo
Dang, I was hoping to share this first, but Ginger beat me. :-( - Mark Trapp
I figured I couldn't be the "first to find" this interesting, or the first to observe it. I was hoping there would be some Malcolm Gladwellian kind of book or article about it. Someone be the first to point me to it, please! - JoEllen

“Watching the US men gymnasts be so psyched to get the bronze medal was refreshing. Many swimmers seemed so bummed to even get the silver. Go underdogs!”
whoa. "Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible.
Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects. Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects." - JoEllen via Bookmarklet
" What may be the most famous gas station in Minnesota is celebrating its 50th birthday Thursday. The Lindholm Service Station in Cloquet has the distinction of being the only gas station ever designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright." - JoEllen via Bookmarklet
I used to spend far to much time in Cloquet. The smell from the paper mills that i was contracting in is far beyond gross. Of course rounding the corner where the station is was always a bright part of my day. It also signified the end of my day. - Jason Lowe
"photographer fran pelsman liscio in new jersey has put a modern spin on the idea of a reliquary with these gorgeous photographs of reliquaries containing objects like flowers, animals and insects." - JoEllen via Bookmarklet
Finally you can upload your own photos, graphics and images and wear them on your own shoes! Wear yo' mama on your shoes, or your dog, or your 30th birthday party-pics. A graphic designer's dream come true - not just white bread keds, make em for kids & babies or cool slip ons for dudes! Take that Mischa Barton... UGH! - JoEllen via Bookmarklet
I have always wanted to live in a gypsy caravan, like "Danny the Champion of the World." I'm inherently drawn to them, it's like I was a circus lady or something in some former life. - JoEllen via Bookmarklet
Is it just me or does this reek of a misplaced trend/intention? Not sure that electricity use is the best way to compost... but maybe if you lived in a little apartment with a lot of soil hungry plants or something. hmmm. Even so, what would you do with the "dirt" that comes out each time? I think this is best saved for future space travel. - JoEllen via Bookmarklet
