* For the David Foster Wallace geek who has everything. Note the two bookmarks.

* I'm developing a crush on current's Sarah Haskins. This time, birth control ads.

* Things that make us [sic}.

* Cards that say what you've been thinking. Click on "view inside pages" to get the full flavor. My fave is "Thanks for Being No Help Whatsoever."

* Must make Puffy Tacos. Who's with me?

* These LED Mason Jar Garden Lights are made of awesome.

* Infoviz may be my second calling. There's just something about the intersection of graphics and data that makes me swoon. (See also: these anatomy charts by Tom Giesler.)

* Maya Angelou on understanding character, stolen from Boing Boing. Weirdly, I do quite well at all of those, especially if you sub "untangling yarn balls" for "untangling Christmas lights."

* A Mighty Good Yarn on the True Austin Day (and burlesque, sorta).

* Great. Another reason to go and eat everything on can find in the Finger Lakes.

* So now I need to go buy every book Lane Smith has been involved with, especially John, Paul, George and Ben. (Scott and I have been watching John Adams and are now fascinated with this cranky man. See also: History just goes 'round and 'round part two: the Adams v. Jefferson edition.)
