  1. Seriously, I like cornucopias so much better now that I can think of them as giant, mythologically-blessed goat horns of plenty.
  2. Was wondering exactly where the cornucopia shape came from. Turns out it's the magical horn of Zeus's goat, Amalthea! http://tr.im/FWLU
  3. I am unspeakably sick of reading the words "Black Friday," and it hasn't even really begun yet.
  4. Via @ChrisBellNZ, how to deal firmly (and a little rudely) with people who ask you to do a bunch of work for free. http://tr.im/FO65
  5. Good piece from Ad Age about why allowing employees to use social media benefits employers (via @facebook): http://tr.im/FO3w
  6. So many news stories about Facebook read like, "Breaking: Telephone used for criminal activity! View all phones with distrust!"
  7. RT @jillybee72: I like those baby carriers for the front that make it look like the parent is the baby's enormous backpack for hiking ac ...
  8. Excellent development: The Larry Sanders Show is now on Hulu! 31 eps from seasons 1-3, though some are missing: http://tr.im/FNly
  9. @ChrisBellNZ Agreed. It's completely disrespectful to the speakers and smacks of the worst sort of attention-deficit indulgence.

  14. This tiny container of green curry paste could last me 6 months if it doesn't go bad first. I might use some of it to cauterize wounds.
  15. Petition from @credomobile asking the FDA to ban BPA from food packaging (it leeches into food & water). http://bit.ly/74itC9
  16. Person A meant to say, "How have you been, my friend?" but forgot the comma. Person B read that as, "In what way have you been my friend?"
  17. Just saw an unpleasant misunderstanding on Facebook caused by an omitted comma. This is why correct punctuation matters, people!
  18. Hmm, Facebook is apparently down for many users, but it's still talking to me. For the moment. http://tr.im/FCF5
  19. If you heard a sound like the deranged love child of a banshee and an air horn a while back, that was my cat Kiwi on his way to the vet.
  20. @kevinrfree One of the things I like is that every so often it seems to turn into a different book from the one I thought I was reading.
