Good.
This is the first time in recent memory that the government did what is was supposed to do, as opposed to what a crooked administration told it to do.
Medical word of the day: Consanguinity
philoconn:
dremly:
con- (with) sanguine (blood) -ity. In medical terms, this means you had children with your cousin.
I hope this happens regularly.
If someone had to invent a word for it, it probably happens more than you want to know.

I’m really hungry but all I can think about is the 6pack of Dos Equis in my fridge.
Don’t think. Drink.

Gross.
Want In on the Tumblrette 1.1 Beta?
So Tumblrette is almost at 1.1 status, and I figured why not let a few Tumblrette users check it out first hand? It doesn’t even matter if you’ve previously purchased Tumblrette or not, all you need is any iPhone or iPod Touch.
Here’s how it works: the first 25 people that email beta at mobelux dot com with the subject “I want in”, are in. You’ll be given instructions on what to do next if you...
I’m in love with this right now. It might be...

Tumblrette: Tumblr app for iPhone →
androidworkshop:
Only $1.99 and is a sleek simple way to post to your Tumblr from your iPhone or iPod Touch. It’s far better than using the web interface in mobile Safari. It’s only lacking feature is the custom URL option.
Thanks for checking out Tumblrette! As far as custom URL’s go, that isn’t currently supported by the Tumblr API, but I’ll see what I can do…

We got both of our puppies (who are not puppies at all, really) through these guys. They are wonderful! The collars I’m making for them will help them rescue and place more dogs in loving homes. All sales will benefit the CGA and that makes me so very happy!

What I learned about myself in the past 2 months
I am not as stupid as I thought I was.
I should probably preface that statement. I’m not a programmer. Christ, I still look at my hands when I type, but I’ve been enamored with software design and programming since my family’s first 386 in 1994. While most people in this country look up to celebrities and other assorted rich people, I look up to Cabel Sasser and Wil Shipley.
I kind of tripped...
Deep Thought for the Day
marc:
Thomas Friedman notes a fascinating irony in his new book, Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution—and How It Can Renew America.
In early human history, it was widely believed by many societies that humans could influence climate and weather by pleasing or displeasing their gods. So, humans went to great lengths to alter their behavior to make their gods happy and hopefully...
