This one started off short but then kinda grew.
- Bruni’s back on the burger beat. Has any other serious food critic ever paid so much attention to the humble burger? Or are we just living in a hamburger renaissance?
- Love life advice for the ladies from a law student.
- Who knew? The Simpsons is stuffed chock full of math jokes.
- Yes, that is a golden throne. Who says the rich have no taste?
- God pissed off at the Lutherans and the Unitarians for reasons unknown. They probably forgot to return the hedge trimmer.
- Hot pictures of the Sun’s corona. Oh! I slay myself.
- Henry Rollins writes a love letter to Ann Coulter (video, sound). Henry, please tell me you actually mailed that.
- Design Observer redesigns; eliminates header, moves main content to a full-length column. This seems to be a new design trend in the on-line world (really, there are others out there, I just couldn’t be arsed to find them).
- A black bear, treed by a housecat. Musta been one pissed-off cat.
- While I’m waiting for my grades to come it, it’s comforting to note Justice Blackmun’s grades: 2 As, 4 Bs, 8 Cs, 3 Ds. Note that this still put him in the top 27% of his class.
- Dear Miss Manners, I just ripped off some dame’s purse, but all she had in cash and cash equivalents was two bucks and a metro card. What should I do with the rest of it?
- It seems that hiring unemployed bloggers to write blogs is the new black. Congratulations, Tony!
- MovableType 3.3 is now in public beta. While I’m sure the list of proposed features is long and extensive, all I really want is MORE SPEED. Faster, Pussycat!
- Why do conservatives hate Justice Kennedy? It should be noted that Kennedy is on the right side of the court, not the left…
- So some lucky Iraqi is $25M richer thanks to the US Government. But then again, will the tax man come calling?
- Ballmer beaten by badware. The money quote is “This really opened our eyes to what goes on in the real world,” which suggests that Microsoft is not, in fact, part of the real world.
- Via my brother, a young Beverly Sills belting out Una voca poco fa (sound, video). Crap sound, but it’s spectacular nonetheless.
