I’m going to be an Elitist for Halloween. I have the three-piece suit and the shirt with the French Cuffs—but I’m looking for ideas for other accessories. What do elitists look like?
Your accessories should include:
The biggest latte that Starbucks serves
A Prius keychain
Any book by Ayn Rand
Aww why you have to throw the Ayn Rand in there?
On the road

karion:
So it looks like the pea and I are taking a road trip to OH, instead of waiting to fly on Sunday. We’re going to take off on Friday.
We are going to see the middle of the country again, preach our sweet Obama psalms, take lots of video and pics, and go work Ohio on Monday and Tuesday. This is an historical time, we are both ridiculously inspired and engaged, and fuck it,...
Question of the Week:
andrewrfox:
I am a self-professed Potter freak, but my favorite book of all-time is The Great Gatsby.
birdwillbirdwont:
I really want to start doing a question of the week! I’m always interested in what other people are doing or are into or what they like because occasionally it’ll get me to discover something new that I’ve never heard of or considered. So to kick this off: What is your...
Hostnames
nosmo:
There’s a certain level of geeky connection that comes from naming a computer or a device. Some people seem to have naming schemes and consistent themes. I generally don’t. So Tumblr, what do you call your machines?
My Nano is Portia
My iPhone is Ophelia
And I just realized my MacBook was unnamed so it is hereby known as Cressida
All moons of Uranus.
Happiness
samreich:
I’ve narrowed happiness down into five categories.
Love
Work
Friends
Home
Body
Can anyone think of anything I’m missing?
Hobby? I’d consider fulfilling outside interests to be extremely crucial to happiness.
My boyfriend Jason was mentioned in an Android...
That’s not the only bit of levity to be found on the phone. The G1 comes with a text-only scrolling video listing contributors and offering special thanks. After a pause, at the very end, Google assures us that “no robots were harmed in the making of this product.”
While the contributors video refers to the Open Handset Alliance — the group of companies backing Android — without naming all the...
“It took us so long to realize that a purpose of human life,

CameraBag →
cubicle17:
I found this iPhone app through Dave Shea, and I couldn’t be happier that I did. A relatively simple app, CameraBag uses the iPhone’s camera to take pictures in the style of a few famous lo-fi cameras, a famous photographer, or some generic film styles. In short, this app turns the iPhone’s crappy camera into something you might actually want to use
My favorite “I’m...
John McCain Hates Women.

and wants to deregulate public schools?
cabel.name: On Wedding Design →
strutting:
Cabel Sasser discusses all the superb little design touches he came up with for his wedding. This actually makes me want to get married.
Geeks are the best kind of guys, really.
I generally prefer to not buy an album if it’s on iTunes and not AmazonMp3, but I am making an exception for Faded Paper Figures.
“North by North” is such a beautiful song, I must own it and I must own it now.
It’s very much like The Postal Service, including the Jenny Lewis parts, and it makes up a tiny bit for the fact there’ll be no followup to Give Up.
“You should not believe a thing only because you like to believe it.”

ephemeron:
McCain is calling the American public “my friends”. This reminds me of a quote from one of my favorite movies, Wayne’s World.
“Benjamin, is no one’s friend. If Benjamin was an ice cream flavor, he’d be pralines and dick.”
I felt this moment needed remembering, so here you go people:

If you were playing McCain bingo
karion:
You should probably call 911. He said “my friends” at least 14 times by my count. I stopped taking shots at 5.
I wish I had had the ‘maverick’ card.
The American people are going to need a good health insurance plan to take care of our livers after this political season.
If McCain can’t seem to respect his opponent how could I expect him to respect Me?
I’ve been watching season 2 of Mad Men on demand because it’s free and everyone on tumblr seems to love it. This means I haven’t seen season 1 and I’ve only seen the 7 or so episodes they’ve got.
Is the Salvatore guy gay?
“JOE SIXPACK”—chug a whole drink”
– Laura’s rule. Everybody drink! (via tristanjay7)
I bet JoeSixpack.com is already taken by now.
I wish there was some sort of Tumblr roundup email I could subscribe to for the days when I’m just too busy to keep up.
