I have set up an account at Red Bubble, which is a site that is, in their words, "an open and inclusive website where you can share your art, photography and design with the world." It is also a site where you can attempt to sell your art, photography, and design to the world ( Read more... )

I was feeling like I wanted to write something nice for Cory this morning, maybe a poem. But I'm not really a poet. So when I came across this madlib love poem generator I thought it was perfect. Here is the poem we (myself and the generator) created:My LoveYour skin glows like the banana, blossoms peaceful as the daffodil in the purest hope of ( Read more... )

I've been reading Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion. At one point he mentions this list of proofs for the existence of God. Some are commonly presented proofs and some are just silly. It's a very long list and I haven't read them all yet, but here are a few of my favorites so far.

Okay, so it's not flight or invisibility, but it's still pretty impressive.

Don't deny it.

I was playing with the tests on okcupid and revisited this one (more information about the ideas behind the test). I got essentially the same score I did the first time through, which I guess indicates either that it has some level of credibility or that I am predictable in my perception of myself. A lot of it feels like me, though certainly not ( Read more... )

I just discovered this program that will allow you to spell anything you like using photos from flickr. It will pull up a different image for each letter and you can change one letter at a time if you want.

Here's my name. I like the superhero-esque vibe of some of the letters (most obviously the S):

Here are some links I've come across in the last day or so and been moved by (in one way or another).

Link #1: This one made me cry. It's just, well, awesome. The daughter of a former slave, a woman who is over 100 years old, votes for Barack Obama. Of course I'm happy every time I hear about anyone voting for Barack Obama, but it's so ( Read more... )
