There are 8 people with my name in the U.S.A.
How many have your name?

Sometimes, 8 is NOT enough.

What have I wrought

Yesterday my 2-year-old asked me if it was “cool” to wear a tank top without a sweater.

Text WTF to 1337

From Gawker (though I also heard it on a morning news show and was pre-appalled):

“A donor to the Barack Obama presidential campaign forwarded an email from the Democratic candidate offering very special early notification when Obama picks his running mate. Obama even offered to text the guy’s phone with the news just as soon as it’s decided. “You have helped build this movement from the bottom up, and Barack wants you to be the first to know his choice,” the campaign wrote. Only problem? Obama is saying the same exact thing to random strangers on his website. He’s probably just trying to build a big email list to spam/telemarket for donations, which is predictable, but also NOT change we can believe it, damn it.”

Seriously, wtf? Obama’s announcing his running mate by texting it to people who supply him with cell phone numbers? Is this underwritten by Pepsi or something? Is there a card I have to scratch to win, or can I just collect all the game pieces and redeem them at text-yr-prez-2008.com?

This unholy marriage of e-marketing and politics makes me want to punch someone.

“ Fair warning: if I follow you on Tumblr and you post something I find to be Gawker worthy I’ll pitch it to an editor extremely quickly. I live for sniffing out good content online. If you have issues with this I suggest you stop posting things on the internet.

Blakeley (via blakeley)

ISSUES? How about: every time I post something on Tumblr I pray that Blakeley will find it Gawkerworthy?

Esprit de l’escalier (French): a witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs…

I can relate to this one.

I think the reason Death Cab’s “Grapevine Fires” speaks to me right now is because I can’t tell whether it’s about hope or doom.

Hmmmmm. CUIL.COM = FAIL. (or at least hicelebs.com = fail) I’m not sure which one of us suffers more from this mistaken conflation of bio & photo.

NYT on the demise of liner notes
I loved liner notes. How is a serious music fan supposed to find the cool musical cliques now?

“ You just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I’m clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate. Never lose the childlike wonder. It’s just too important. It’s what drives us.
