Because it's Wednesday

-- If you ever wanted to know how Scratch and Sniff worked, go here. Mental Floss explains the how and why. I never knew that it came out of making copies.

-- So, like just about everyone, I'm on Facebook. Why does this not surprise me?

Facebook is planning to exploit the vast amount of personal information it holds on its 150m members by creating one of the world's largest market research databases

And my relatives wonder why I keep "ignoring" that silly "We're related" ap.

-- I am halfway through Jenny Davidson's The Explosionist and LOVING it. I'm not going to lie, it's a bit slow going in the beginning, but o so worth it. If you read Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy, you'll enjoy this one. One of these days I'm going to start making "If you read this, then read this" lists. I have a bunch for work, but not for the books that I read that don't really fit my kids (like the very particular genre of mysteries I read).

-- Tom and I finally finished watching Buffy Season 6 last night. WOW. Tom had warned me that this was his least favorite season, but I really enjoyed it. This is the first time I'm watching most of the show so it's all new and great and why didn't I watch this when I was younger? We're also watching Angel and hopefully finishing season 4 tonight. I really don't know why we bother paying cable. Between this and old British TV we very rarely ever watch anything in real time.
