… I would consider spending it on these things! Maybe. Depending on how much was in the bag. — The Wrongulator — a calculator that always gives you the wrong answer. Tee hee hee. — Walt Disney’s home. No, really. — Peep Show beer glasses… actually, any of the glasses in that article. — A [...]

Cleaning out some saved sites, so I apologize if any of these are ones you’ve seen before! I love abandoned places. Old falling-down houses, bricked-off subway stations, hotels that were never finished, power plants left to rot, empty hospitals and institutions. There’s just something so lonely, so stark, such a sense of death and decay (and maybe [...]

My apologies if any of these are repeats — I’m cleaning out my starred items! Most of you know that I’m fascinated with the website My Parents Were Awesome; sometimes I just like the look of the person, sometimes I love that the photo is so indicative of a time, sometimes I wonder and imagine what that [...]

In previous linkdumps I’d linked to stories of a school that used student’s laptops to check in on them at home, and those links included happy stories such as the one student accused of popping pills (spoiler alert: IT WAS CANDY). The school settled in October. And we’re alllllll sure nothing like that will eeeeeeeeever [...]

The FBI asks for their tracker back, after a student find the GPS located they were tracking him with. Er? — I do love me some dark harsh reality, which is why I throughly enjoyed this article on a Detroit ER Trauma surgeon. I could read a whole book on that. — I don’t think, in reality, [...]
