by Josh Kimball
*Breaking: Mozart died of strep throat. I had a bad case of mono in the 9th grade. (Not really.) [harper's]
*Web 2.0: MySpace bought iLike. Neologistic. [swarm]
*Letters: Make the alphabet in tapes with Tapeography. But how many syllables are in that? Four? Five? Conventional wisdom would say four, but I think maybe seven. [psfk]
*Photography: The Dieter Rams pool. Jump the fuck in. [notcot]
*Online: Is it your brain circuitry that makes you like Twitter, or does no one know what the fuck they’re talking about? [murketing]
*TV: The Footnotes of Mad Men is a blog about the footnotes of the television show Mad Men. Great idea, ok execution. [kottke]
*Videogames: Profile of a gamer – fat, depressed and 35. Hello? Oh, I thought you were talking to me. [mefi]
*Age: Celine Dion is only one year older than Gwen Stefani. Also, why am I talking about this?
*Remember when that remote controlled flying penis attacked Garry Kasparov? Great times.
