Renaissance facts: Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni is a party dude.
It seems unlikely and annoying that books can go out of print in this day and age. I would happily buy into a reprint pool.
“… and a ‘pimped-out’ Richard D. James, displaying a surreal amount of wealth and power, emerges with his signature fixed grin.”
Sprechen Spell – just like Speak’n'Spell but with more umlauts.
Despite having sucked down $155 million over 3.5 years, Twitter still has no revenue model – they do have a nice office, though.
HTML imagemaps get a bad rap.
Hamilton epicureans: where are the best burgers in this city?
Why can’t my phone poll my location every few minutes and if I’m still at the same coordinates, check me in automatically?
I feel like locative apps (Foursquare, Gowalla, et al.) are hampered by the need to check in all the time.
I just heard an acoustic version of the ‘Prince of Bel-air’ theme. Speechless.

They don’t make’em like they used to, thank goodness: crash test between 1959 and 2009 Chevys. http://tr.im/EDc6
I’m not so much lactose-intolerant as I am lactose-disenchanted.
Enjoying a Friday night Negroni: equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and campari, twist of citrus peel.
Factory farming meets Vista meets low rent animation: http://bit.ly/4o2Xh7 (via @aaronwilliamson)
Being able to successfully manage ridiculous requirements and impossible timelines makes you valuable. Also: taken for granted.
Renaissance facts: Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino is cool but crude.
Doodling is not a billable activity, but it should be: most doodles contain more truth than a client-pleasing architecture diagram.
So we all like comedic flowcharts. It’s too bad no comedians understand proper flowchart logic.
