“Obscure Store and Reading Room: Dear readers: After 13 years, I’m closing The Obscure Store.”

Maybe I should take a hint?

• The 1933 Congressional Cook Book – these women did not fuck around one bit.
• Take the color challenge, let me know in the comments what your score was.  I got an 8, on a crappy uncalibrated, 4-year-old laptop screen.
• News of the world (RIP)
• Try turntable… I like it as a lurker.  It. Is. Fun – that is all.
• Tesco’s virtual supermarket in Korea. Scan the QR codes with your phone to shop, and wait at home after work for free delivery.  Goddamnit!  I can barely get a crap phone with a connection to myspace…
• Take animated .gifs print each frame, cut them out, make them into a zoetrope… you get the physical .GIF Why didn’t I think of this?
• Al Franken, destroys opponents argument that children are better off with opposite-sex parents.
• Fake Apple store in China – Via Antonia
• For my Dad – TED talks and particularly Marcin Jakubowski on Open Source Ecology and the Global Village Construction Set.
• Finally, I just got my very last Borders Rewards e-mail.  That’s one way to stop spam I guess.

Thanks for waiting around for more links :)

So, Dash gets this thing in a Happy Meal or, some such.

I’m not entirely sure when I first encountered Pokemon.  Probably not long after they were invented.  The five oldest kids all had cards and whatever else.  I never noticed this guy before.  Holy crap!  His little butt (eh, thingy) even lights up!

Oh yeah.  Hi.  It’s been a while.

Will try to get back to posting :)
