underwear →
I’ve now set up a separate tumblr where I track the best underwear I find. I’m a big fan of the undergarment, and you should be too. Beware, there’ll be the occasional nipple. Catch it at http://underwear.tumblr.com
Keeping Austin Weird: The Cathedral of Junk →
One of my favorite places to visit is Austin, TX. It’s 100% Texas, grand and egotistical while also being liberal, creative and forward. Aside from the great music, there’s a neverending trail of eccentric art. Making a random structure out of junk is damn near a requirement in the “Keep Austin Weird” world. There’s a brightness this city has that makes me love it,...

The record number of bikes left on buses in a day was 26 during Hempfest, he said. “We seem to get a lot of bikes during Folklife, too.”
I haven’t really ever stopped following anyone from tumblr - until today! After seeing the 500th picture today of Julia, I think I’ve had my fill. If I really need a fix, I’ll just tune into MSNBC tonight at 9:30! Or FoxNews at 2:30! Or her column! I feel better already. — sharingtime I too have stopped after her short sighted statements about David and tumblr. The vulgar...

this is so depraved. — jackieheartsbHaving witnessed WBC’s antics on more than one occasion, I can tell you depraved doesn’t begin to cover how that hateful family operates.

“This is one of those nights you read about in books about startups.”
– Marco, last night, getting into the elevator to finally go home.
Marco is a good man. He deserves a lot of credit for his work and patience with bengold, and he deserves ram on his registry.

Happy Blue Monday →
— sunluvr Despite the bitter cold, it’s a perfect, blue-sky, sunny day here. I can see how this may make me yearn for a summer day to the point of depression here. — rachelanastasia if it wasn’t sunny, i’m sure this day would be terrible. hooray for sunshine! — verbadjectivenoun
While it was the coldest morning I’ve experienced here so far, today was also the most...
You are kidding, aren't you?
Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your...
“Learning to swim is silly when you’re starting to drown.”
– Tegan and Sara or, “It’s a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown” Tegan and Sara’s This Business of Art was my high school years. It seems now it was the only thing I listened to from 2000 to 2002. Now they make their voices sound weird and I hate it :(
I called it.
I actually watched the UNC-Maryland game today and the Heels lost…by 2. I said last week that if I started watching this would happen.
WatchCracked shows us what would happen when Digg, eBay and Facebook walk into a room… literally. — livejamieobligatory reblog
My Universal Feed →
This RSS feed aggregates my Tumblr posts, photos, videos, bookmarks and video rentals. It’s simply the best way to stalk me. — zachklein How do I set one up for people (just myself really, seriously nobody cares enough) to stalk me? — soupsoup
Doing this for being able to track my output noise has been on my to-do list for awhile now. Gotta remember one of these nights.

In other news, in an attempt to better understand my boyfriend I’ve begun reading Penny Arcade.
Would you pay for Tumblr?
Let’s say Tumblr added some advanced features; maybe more photo, music and video control in addition to built-in analytics and feed control. What would that be worth? I’m not a big fan of the monthly subscription fees, so let’s just steal from Flickr and say it would cost $25/yr. Would you pay that? Personally I would, hell, if they added that stuff, I’d feel bad if I...
Nonwords
My favorite nonword is blar. It’s kinda like blah but the r sound makes the word harder, fully expressing my annoyance and/or apathy.
Hence, tumblar.
What’s yours?
I don’t like Ketchup and I think that is a good indicator of who I am. — poortasteDo you eat mustard on your fries?
Can anyone fill Dan's request? →
Can anybody recommend a tumblelog that primarily links to whatever’s going around the Internet this week that everybody is talking about and will be gone by the next week? […] I don’t really like it when people say, “Oh, you saw the thing with ______, right?” and it’s some stupid hampsterdance-like website that I had never heard of. It’s even worse if it’s somebody like a parent. I’d love to...
What happens within an hour of drinking a coke.
Within the first 10 minutes, 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. This is 100 percent of your recommended daily intake, and the only reason you don’t vomit as a result of the overwhelming sweetness is because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor. Within 20 minutes, your blood sugar spikes, and your liver responds to the resulting insulin burst by turning massive amounts of sugar into fat. Within 40...
I miss watching college basketball, but I’m afraid if I start now UNC will start losing. Yay sport fan superstition!
DailyLit: Read books by email and RSS. →
I’m currently getting “Random Reminiscences of Men and Events” by John D. Rockefeller emailed to me daily in 1000 word chunks. The site appears to have a lot of classic literature and essays for free, but aside from a couple $6.95 nonfiction books I can’t find much I’d want to pay to read from here. This might be the only way to get me to read “War &...

Marco.org: Sony BMG's DRM-free innovation →
I see Sony BMG is already gunning for stupidest business move in 2008. The skinny: Sony BMG wants you to buy a card, take it home, input a code on a website and then download music. No individual songs, only albums. Way to inconvenience the customer. — camh
Dear Internets
You have solved many of my problems, yet you catered to me so nicely you have left me wanting more. While I’m sure you’re capable of doing so many unheard of future ideas, for some reason you’re diversifying and leaving me feeling confused and over logged-in. I want to thank you for social networking and allowing me to be a citizen of transparency, however I’m one of those...

I’m watching a rerun of last season’s One Tree Hill finale and keep crying my eyes out. I’m such a lame girl.
