Brilliant! The Al Gore-bot is jealous.
I commend those who planned and conducted the bin Laden raid a year ago, and I applaud President Obama for approving the mission.

An Evening with Steve Perry from bizarrocomics
Can you just picture Steve Perry saying: “Excellent… release the hounds”.
I put these two things together back in ‘07 when I first saw the chart about top marginal tax rates, and saw that every time they got cut, the economy tanked and there was a recession!
(via A rich guy’s case for (much) higher taxes - The Washington Post)
Ze Frank is the man! He’s so damn funny, yet at the same time inspirational and thought provoking.
The first episode of Ze Frank’s new show is a battle cry for creativity and making things.
Holy crap this is gorgeous! and I like this format instead of brackets.
NCAA Tournament, 2012 - Two charts by Christopher Keach
First: “Here’s a radial version of an NCAA Tournament bracket I created, after seeing a European soccer bracket on fastcodesign.com. I don’t see this replacing the old bracket-style brackets anytime soon, but at least it kept me busy for a few hours. My blog has some info on my Adobe Illustrator process if anyone wants to try to join the fun next year.”
Second: “When making my radial tourney bracket, I looked up the official colors of all the competing schools (excluding those which lost in the play-in games). Only two didn’t have a web page or PDF with official Pantone and/or hex colors. In such cases I pulled colors from their web page layouts (one was brown and one was burgundy, but I don’t remember which). Also, a couple teams list as black could have been listed in the gold/yellow category instead. Finally, Louisville is in the red column, despite their glowing orange semi-final uniforms.”

I’ve done the opposite of the 45/15 before with chores. Watch an episode of an TV show on DVD/DVR (about 45mins) then get up and do chores until the hour is up. You can go through half a season and get a ton of little things done in a day off. A load of dishes, a load of laundry, kitty litter emptying, trash taken out. So many things can add up quick, and you feel like you did nothing, but with evidence otherwise.
BTW- the UFYH will help me get my TDIFH project done! Follow UFYH right now!
Essentially you buckle down and write for 45 minutes and then you get to dick around on the internet for 15.
So far it’s working, I think? I have a page and a half of single spaced outline, and I tend to write very meticulous outlines and then copy and paste them into a paper, so that’s good. And I have all night!
Yaaay. Do I get a gif now?
(Don’t forget to tag stuff so I can see it, even if I’m not scrolling down my dash!)
