Are you sure about this? I think Bumpits make ladies look like coneheads. Just sayin' - Ha3rvey

I have been thinking the same thing! I am always looking for ways to make more interesting creative hairstyles without looking too over the top, at the same time. I keep seeing the ads for the Bumpits and saying to myself, "I bet those don't work on dreads..." LOL - Desiree Diva Hickson

Toycamera.com is a web site about creating a photographic image out of a really really crappy camera, or a "toy" if you will. Over 10 years ago it started with the original "Great Lakes Area Plastic Camera Group (AKA "GAK") which was started by Harvey Seeley and Kurt Stepnitz. Even from those early days, the philosophy remains the same - an inclusive group of toy camera enthusiasts who want nothing more than to share some images, ideas, and a few laughs. - Cecily from Bookmarklet

"Pieces of Me, Left for You" - the winner wrote a poem about a breakup, and used her Holga to document the poem. I love the photos and I love the idea of documenting your life after someone leaves you. - Cecily from Bookmarklet

The best thing about this movie is the soundtrack. - Cecily

I'm using a Windows keyboard with my MacBook (at work) and I'm having a hard time getting the MacBook to recognize the keyboard. Because OS X won't recognize the keyboard, I can't change the keyboard mappings. Does anyone know how I might be able to force OS X to recognize this keyboard? I am not afraid of the command line if that's the ultimate solution. - Cecily from Bookmarklet

Despite how "clearly" it's labeled to you, Walt, it doesn't mean that it's clear for everyone else. People misread instructions. It happens. Saying "to the right of the shift key on the left side of the keyboard" can present a challenge for someone like me, who is often directionally challenged. Of course, it isn't helped by the fact that on Windows keyboards, the text on the shift keys... more... - Cecily

Must. Have. This. Camera. - Cecily from Bookmarklet

The more I read about this camera, the more I feel like it's the DSLR version of my Panasonic Lumix LX3, with a few more features thrown in. I'm so wanting to get this as my next camera! Also, I'm rather interested in buying the film Olympus Pen. I have wanted to try a half-frame camera for a while, just to see what it's like, and the Olympus Pen showed up a lot in previous eBay... more... - Cheryl Jones

"In 2004, Jason Crigler's life was taking off. He was one of New York's hottest young guitarists, his new CD was due for release and his wife, Monica, was pregnant with their first child. Then, at a gig in Manhattan, Jason suffered a near-fatal brain hemorrhage. His doctors doubted he would ever emerge from his near-vegetative state. The astonishing journey that followed, documented by friend and filmmaker Eric Daniel Metzgar (The Chances of the World Changing, POV 2007), is a stirring family saga and a portrait of creative struggle in the face of overwhelming tragedy." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

cool it's on this Thursday night at 8:30pm :) - Anna Lynn M.

"For Canada’s First Nations communities, being denied our basic and fundamental human rights is, sadly, not at all a surprise. So after last week’s report that the Canadian government had postponed the delivery of much-needed alcohol-based hand sanitisers to reserve communities with massive outbreaks of the swine flu virus out of apparent “fear” of theft driven by alcoholism in the community, I stopped to think about it for a second. “Same old stupid government perpetuating the colonisation of our people,” I thought. But there’s more going on here that needs to be addressed." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

I was _appalled_ that they held back on hand sanitisers for this reason. - Andrew C

Seniors Vikky Cruz and Deoine Scott beat out two opposite-sex couples for the honor at Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School. Cruz, who's 17, says she was scared at first to enter the contest because she wasn't sure how people would react. At the last minute, she scratched out "boy" and wrote in "girl" on the ballot. Supporters followed suit. She and Scott, who's 18, got four times the number of votes as the other nominees. The couple started dating when they were sophomores. - Cecily

You just gave me a link to a scoble thread? Don't you know I blocked him like *ages* ago? :-D - Cecily

"Minister of State for Tourism Diane Ablonczy is no longer responsible for the delivery of a key tourism stimulus package, and one of her caucus colleagues says it's because her office gave some of the money to a gay pride parade." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

sasha frere-jones is liveblogging at newyorker.com as is the pop & hiss blog and I think Vulture is doing so as well. - Jason Toney

I am grateful for Radioio, because unlike last.fm, pandora, and many other such broadcasters, their content is available to me in Canada. I used to listen to them a lot years ago - even had a paid subscription - but somehow I forgot about them. Thanks to Pulsar (the Sirius XM app for OSX) not being able to connect to Sirius radio this morning, I rediscovered radioio. - Cecily from Bookmarklet

"The former head of children's programs at the Stonington Free Library is suing the library, saying officials fired her in part because she was the victim of domestic violence." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

I hope she wins. Someone shouldn't lose employment because of a restraining order. That perverts its purpose. - John

"When Mildred Riley writes a romance set in the Harlem Renaissance, she doesn't have to look back as far as other members of the profession: the popular writer is 91, in only the second decade of her career." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

"Jay Phillips was attacked Friday in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant by three young men. A video of the incident posted on YouTube shows Phillips, 38, fighting back as he's surrounded by the trio. It's not known who shot the video or posted it on the website. Phillips, who is black, said the attack was unprovoked." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

Nice way to treat a potential customer. - Detective Sandy Vagina

I know sometimes shop owners get a little tweaked if they think their competition is spying on them, but this shop owner needs to get the hell over herself! - vicster

"The collection is a glorious homage to Ditto's favourite things: Grace Jones, the Bauhaus movement, or a stained-glass print on a vintage shirt. Bang on-trend with its 80s reference points, there's a Debbie Harryesque blue harem-pant jumpsuit, leggings and matching stretchy dress in a white domino print, a batwing jumper with a spider's web picked out in delicate chain, even dinky jazz shoes and a cropped leather jacket. Each piece in the collection oozes Ditto." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

"Jobs, for all of his virtues, clings to the Great Man Theory of Leadership - a CEO-centric model of executive power that is outmoded, unsustainable, and, for most of us mere mortals, ineffective in a world of non-stop change. A Wired magazine cover story from last year made the point well. The article begins with a memorable anecdote - the CEO, in search of a space in the company's crowded parking lot, regularly leaves his Mercedes in a handicapped space, sometimes taking up two spaces. The pattern became so noticeable that employees, according to the article, put notes on his windshield that read, Park Different." - Cecily from Bookmarklet

I don't consider Jobs anything else other than a 'mere mortal' like the rest of us! :) - Ian May

Tres bien. - Derrick

Thanks, D. - Cecily

Neil Patrick Harris hosted the TV Land Awards in April, and then hit his second big hosting gig out of the park with this year’s Tony Awards (his musical numbers and jokes were understated but just campy enough). Now, he is in serious talks to host the 2009 Emmy Awards as well. - Cecily from Bookmarklet

I'd watch anything he hosted. - Steve C

He was even great on million dollar password. Not as great as Betty White but charming and personable. - Jason Toney
