Cripes, is it Friday already? (No, not quite, I guess.) Work's been stupid busy all week. Probably was last week too, but I wasn't around for that part. Will write about the rest of Los Cabos later. Have some other stuff in the meantime.
Glass viruses. Beautiful.
Brink Back Postal Banking: "Americans should have a public option for simple banking that could shield them from the most predatory practices and extend saving options to all reaches of society." This... is an idea.
Teach the Controversy t-shirts: so much awesome.
YOU HAD ONE JOB!: like Failblog, but amusing.
The Game Over Tinies. "E is for Ecco, and he was delicious / F is for Frogger, who got too ambitious."
Should men be allowed to vote?: classic snark from Alice Duer Miller, an early twentieth-century suffragist.
Pad Thai: "In between surviving multiple point-blank-range assassination attempts and a failed kidnapping in which he emerged alive from the burning wreckage of a battleship his own air force had just bombed, Pibulsongkram decided that Thailand needed noodles that would advance the country's industry and economy."
We Found Our Son in the Subway: "The story spread like an urban myth: You're never going to believe what my friend's cousin's co-worker found in the subway."
Allan Calhamer, designer of Diplomacy, 1931-2013. No word on whether he was found with a knife in his back. In all seriousness, Dip is a game that I admire greatly, enjoy reading about, and will never, ever, play again. This is not a game to play with your friends unless you are tired of having friends.
