Glitch poem: This is just to say
I have nibbled the piggies that were around the Meadow and which you were probably baiting for capture. Forgive me they were there so pink and so acquiescent. (With apologies to William Carlos Williams, inspired by this thread. Play Glitch!)

Flowers for Rosh Hashanah
I felt like the prettiest princess carrying these home from the florist! I can’t wait to give them to my Rosh Hashanah dinner hosts. This bouquet was the creation of Rose Tea Lounge in the Inner Sunset.
Glitch launched today!

The Art of the Self-Mocking Hashtag
In this Sunday’s Boston Globe, I take a look at how hashtagging has become the perfect vehicle for self-directed sarcasm, used by celebrities and common folk alike. Take a look at how a pro does it: the tech-savvy actor Wil Wheaton (who began earning geek cred back when he played Ensign Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation) recently tried to link to pictures of himself on the...

Prescreen "Missing Pieces" for $4.

David (Mark Boone Jr. - Sons of Anarcy, Batman Begins, Memento) tries again and again to win back the love of his life, Delia (Melora Walters - Magnolia, Cold Mountain,...

Help me see the movie "Missing Pieces"
via youtube.com (festival trailer · movie site) A link to the “Missing Pieces” promo trailer was forwarded along to me last month. I am just now getting through a huge email backlog, so I hadn’t watched it until just a few minutes ago. The festival trailer is more emotionally compelling. Also, if you want the short plot summary from the filmmaker, it is: “a heartbroken...
Two old cats finally becoming friends.
I never thought our cats would sit this close together, but here they are, right before bed. Amazing. I hope the big move doesn’t set this progress back.
Subsequently allowed to dissipate.
I love saying this phrase out loud. This is part of a larger artwork by Lawrence Weiner called “Brought to Light”.

10 Myths about Introverts →
This introvert agrees. Via youmightfindyourself:
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.

MeFi: What Have You Done For A Friend Today? →
From the MeFi post: “In 1967, Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov went up in a capsule he knew would never get back (NSFW gruesome image) to earth in one piece. He could have bowed out of the mission, but that would meant his good friend, Yuri Gagarin (the first man in space) would have drawn the mission instead. So Vladimir launched knowing it was a suicide mission. The CIA was listening in, and...

The Subway Reborn as an Awesome Cello →
Speaking of the cello, from Gawker: “Brooklyn resident Alexander Chen built this cool, melodic web page that represents New York subway lines as ever-growing strings that are “plucked” by intersecting trains. Best of all, it’s built off a live feed of actual train data.”
