A few of my favs from this Wired article. Happy Monday! (HOLY CARP, THIS IS OUR LAST WEEK! EEK!) 1. Munroe’s Law: A person in a geeky argument who can quote xkcd to support his position automatically wins the argument. This law supersedes Godwin, so that even if the quote is about Hitler, the quoter still wins
2. Lucas’s Law: There is no movie so beloved that a “special edition,” prequel or sequel cannot trample and forever stain its memory.
6. Savage and Hyneman’s Law: Blowing stuff up is fun. Blowing stuff up in the name of science is AWESOME.
Most adorable MP3 player ever? I’m a big fan of Miffy (super cute Dutch book series) since she happens to share her name with my grandmother’s “grandma name” (and she LOVES bunnies).

Although I took a trip out to Astoria (Studio Square rocks!) and saw a great little gallery opening in Chinatown, I spent most of my weekend with the above; organizing and moving over files from the old compy, rewatching Twin Peaks and Cannibal! The Musical, enjoying a battery that works! I love having all this space! Now all I need is CS5…
P.S. I got the above, kick ass, wallpaper (and a bunch more) from Simulacrum It’s like FFFFOUND!, but for wallpapers.
Important questions answered, such as: “Can I use my iPad during a meeting?,” “Can I use my iPad at the dinner table?,” “Can I use my iPad on the sh*tter?” and “Can I use my iPad during sex?” Get the full F.A.Q. here!
Been thinking about this video all morning. It’s so easy to get caught up in the little things, but it’s good to take a few million steps back and take a look at the much, much larger picture.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. It underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the only home we’ve ever known.The pale blue dot.
EDIT: Looks like the video was taken down… that was fast! Go to Gizmodo where they have embedded into their own page.

Once upon a time a California boy met a Georgia girl in New York. They didn't get along, at first. But, little by little, they fell in love. Today they are happy and still very much in love, running a business and a blog together.
