Someone's writing you from "in prison?" *doesn't judge* :P - Micah Wittman

"You’ve heard of the Connecticut woman who was mauled by a 200-pound chimpanzee, right?  Charla Nash, 65, was visiting a friend last February when her friend’s pet chimp attacked her, tearing off her nose, lips,  eyelids and hands before being shot dead by cops. Nash later lost her eyes to infection and her facial disfigurement is such that she is a candidate for a face transplant. Nash went on the Oprah show last week to reveal her disfigurement and share heartbreaking details on her life since the attack, including the fact that she now has to eat everything through a straw. The plus side of getting mauled by a chimp?  In a cringe-worthy response, Oprah told Nash that eating through a straw will help her keep her weight down." - cecily from Bookmarklet

In other news, Oprah has decided that she needs to stop hosting the show "while she's still at the top of her game." - DJF

i think we all have trouble with that last one sometimes...or at least i do - Sir Shuping

We have the Nietzsche on the fridge, too, Josh. My problem with myself is #2. I find it quite hard to be gentle with myself. I know some people think I am hard with others (and I am sometimes :( ) but I catch utter hell from myself. - Mar₭ the Engaged

It's pretty quiet so far. - cecily

Artemis Fowl is great. Well, the first three(?) books. After that it got a bit too serial for my liking. - DJF

nope - Sir Shuping

Just work and weather and stuff to do out here ... and junk. Stay in bed. Your faithful minions got it covered. - MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS

"University of Wisconsin-La Crosse student Adam Bauer has nearly 400 friends on Facebook. He got an offer for a new one about a month ago. “She was a good-looking girl. I usually don’t accept friends I don’t know, but I randomly accepted this one for some reason,” the 19-year-old said. He thinks that led to his invitation to come down to the La Crosse police station, where an officer laid out photos from Facebook of Bauer holding a beer — and then ticketed him for underage drinking." - cecily from Bookmarklet

Whoa, I was just talking with a friend earlier about how another acquaintance of ours should hope the cops don't patrol his FB, since he'd just posted about the "big bag o'weed" he'd just bough, LOL. - PENGUIN: MAJOR CAPS LOCK

I hated getting my braces adjusted (I had them in my early 30s). Shepherd's pie was my post-tightening meal of choice. - DJF

"Today Solange Knowles, future indie songstress––she's just severed ties with her major label, Interscope, has said she aspires to have a career like Bjork's, and allegedly turned her sis and Jay-Z on to Grizzly Bear––sent her cover of the Dirty Projectors' "Stillness Is The Move" to Pitchfork, and from there it spread like wildlife." - cecily from Bookmarklet

now i'm bummed i missed her when she came through here - cherylcoward

Aquarius. You have to love a song where the first word sung is someone's zodiac sign. - cecily from Bookmarklet

Fantastic! What year was this? - Ken Morley

1977, I think. - cecily

I can't believe they're from the same production company. - cecily from iPhone

I'm with Ken, I've only seen a minute here or there in passing. Then again I don't think I have room for more than 2 tv shows total where I'll sit down and watch. Anyway, poking around youtube found a surprisingly good clips put to music vid if you like that kind of thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Micah Wittman

"A vulgar comment was made by a reader of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's website on Friday on an article about the strangest things you've ever eaten. The headline was practically asking for a juvenile response and, thanks to the anonymity of the internet, that's exactly what happened. In the comments section of the article, one user posted a single word response referring to a part of a woman's anatomy. Of course, the site's moderators quickly deleted the comment but it soon reappeared - obviously this juvenile was intent on having their say. But this time, instead of just deleting the comment in question, the site's director of social media, Kurt Greenbaum, did a little sleuthing too. He found that the commenter's IP address was coming from a local school...and that's where this story starts to get interesting. Greenbaum contacted the school and made them aware of the situation. In his defense, he probably thought he was simply tattle-telling on a naughty student who would learn a... more... - cecily from Bookmarklet

"The series paints an ugly picture of an Olympic system that sanctions a virtual monopoly of ticket selling in the U.S., and inflates ticket and hotel prices at the expense of the public. "What we discovered," Willmsen said, "was that the last persons served and priority for tickets was the public. The IOC 'family' and sponsors came first." Not exactly a revelation to British Columbians. From our perspective, the well-documented frustration with the scarcity of tickets is also well down on the list of concerns." - cecily from Bookmarklet

"When Sarah Palin's 413-page autobiography, Going Rogue: An American Life, hit stands Tuesday, readers discovered the governor's most mavericky move yet: The book lacks an index. So Slate has compiled its own. Just print out this index, paste it into the back of your copy, and start skipping around! (And, yes, the page numbers are real.)" - cecily from Bookmarklet

this is a great idea for the LSW - alternative indexes to books - marthalib

Tiffany talks about context in design, and lists some very important questions designers/developers need to ask when creating a tool for a specific audience, which in this case, happens to be transborder immigrants. - cecily

"100 dancers led by one of Australia's most famous drag queens surprised bathers on Bondi Beach with a medley of hot jams. It starts with “Love Shack” and only gets better from there…" - cecily from Bookmarklet

I'm always looking for an alternative to your average wireframe. - cecily

I think I like this vocalist's performance better than Amy Winehouse's. - cecily from Bookmarklet

That horn section is redonkulous. EDIT: I always want to see Mark Ronson's horn section. o_O - Derrick

"Amazon today gave the green light to selling the Kindle 2 in Canada. The reader is the same international version sold elsewhere and will give Canadians the same access to the Kindle bookstore as Americans. Some Canadian publications, such as the Globe and Mail and the Ottawa Citizen, are also available in subscription form for the e-book reader. The reader costs the same $259 US ($271 Canadian) as before, though it's unclear whether Canadians will pay a premium for downloads." - cecily from Bookmarklet
