Serious Business, or what passes for it ’round here
Today’s haul? A little introspection, a little bile, some miscellany, and, of course, some Serious Business.
DEPARTMENT OF SERIOUS BUSINESS
Jared’s revamped Serious Buisness show started 2009 with a bang — and with some new faces logging in to watch the live stream.
And it’s always a good sign when your UStream performance prompts other bloggers to write something, like this post by Eyebee, who took a stroll down geek memory lane based on Jared’s discussion of the 386 processor..
INTROSPECTION DEPARTMENT
Some thoughtful insomnia from Heidi:
Inspired by Mydwynter, I must add some nothing to my life.
I’m going to turn to nature, more..
I’m going to walk. I’m going to breathe. I’m going to take my camera on excursions and learn more about the physical world around me, geographically.
I’m going to create a secret garden, this spring. A retreat for just me to enjoy. A place to sit and do nothing, bring a journal and ponder, just breathe and be..
Ricsha’s resolution? Ditch the drama.
BILE DEPARTMENT
Sometimes there are just things and people we can’t stand, no matter the circumstances, and for OldController it’s apparently people who destroy property during protests. Her take on the protests/riots in Oakland: It’s not about the man lying face down who was killed by cops, it’s just that some people enjoy being hoodlums:
Yeah, I’m being harsh. Too bad. If the former police officer screwed up, he should suffer the consequences. Unless BART has policy of shooting people lying face-down and not posing a threat, I don’t think they should pay anybody anything.
But that’s using common sense. And we can’t have that.
DEPARTMENT OF ETCETERA
Mike from Shadow of Diogenes reminds us that the ongoing drug war in Mexico could affect us, too.
Dan Bonner gives us a Newbie’s Guide to Twitter:
Uncle Zoloft is looking for supporters to write in protest of a man who murdered a gay man in Greenville getting out of jail after as little as eight months of time-served.
An entire post dedicated solely to food porn. Looks like somebody is gunning for Tartlette’s turf…
PARTING SHOT DEPARTMENT
