Supercook is a handy site that allows you to enter the ingredients in your kitchen, then provides you with a list of recipes. Right now I have everything I need for “clever sausage balls.” With some milk and flour though, I can make some Toad in the Hole. Yum! Supercook returns recipes you can actually make right [...] Dezeen Design Magazine has some stylish tableware by Kathryn Hinton. (via swissmiss) Gilligan’s Island (Stairway) (aka Stairway to Gilligan’s Island) by Little Roger and the Goosebumps. (via Miss Cellania) The Yankee or Dixie quiz tells me I’m 74% Dixie. Whiskey Before Breakfast performed by Brad Davis,Robert Bowlin,and Wil Maring. (via J-Walk Blog) The Gourds performing their rendition of Snoop Dogg’s Gin and Juice. (via the Culinary Sherpas) Shadowy Men On a Shadowy Planet performing Baby Elephant Walk. (via I’m Learning to Share) Johnny Bond’s album Here Come the Elephants (includes Day Drinkin’). (via Uncle Gil’s Rockin’ Archives). Kudos to Michael Van Stickler for excellent reporting. Van Stickler discovered that some of the $1 billion dollars the county purported developers had given to create and maintain roadways didn’t exist. The county insists that this is only a few minor calculation problems and that developers still contribute enormous sums to help create and maintain roadways [...] How to torment telemarketers using only one word. (via Neatorama) Not a single drop of oil was spilled in the Gulf of Mexico when Katrina hit. Unless you count the oil slicks that were so huge that they were visible from space. OK, I’m a couple of weeks late to this, but why is this even in the newspaper? This is news? Barbara Behrendt locates a blogger who happens to be an assistant county attorney. And what exactly is the concern? That maybe he’s blogging on the taxpayers dime? And check out this nearly incoherent accusation – “According [...] The Supreme Court ruled that jurors don’t have enough sense to properly penalize a good-hearted corporation, so they took it upon themselves to slash the penalty awarded by the jurors to those affected by the Valdez oil spill to $507.5 million. To put this in perspective – Lee Raymond, the ex-CEO of Exxon received payments in [...] Alrighty, then. June was full of flu, flooring, and flying, which left little time for blogging or internet surfing. The flu’s gone, the floor’s installed, and I think I’m done with flying until at least December. So, in the word’s of the immortal Pink, let’s get this party started. Here’s Carlin on why education in the US is fucked: Stephen Colbert defends the “Confederate battle flag” flying over MLK Ave. near Tampa. Fortunately, I warned myself that it might be a month or two before I got all of these pages firing at once, and to not get overly anxious if it seems like it’s getting off to a slow start. Good advice, self! Now that I’m in the logy, recuperative phase of my summer flu, I’m [...] I’m down for the count with a fever, and not the good kind, like when you kiss me. Ugh.
2:39 And here’s Rita Moreno and the Muppets 2:09 This guy flips out and starts destroying the office. From a security camera, so there’s no sound. (via Neatorama) Some creators hate fan-created derivative works. Fortunately, Jim Davis, creator of the cartoon cat Garfield, enjoys Garfield Minus Garfield. “Jim Davis, the cartoonist who created “Garfield,” calls himself an occasional reader of the site, which he calls “fascinating.” He says he is flattered rather than peeved by the imitation.” Here’s a link to Garfield Minus Garfield, a [...] Hello bloggers from Central West Florida and the Tampa Bay area. This is an attempt to generate a conversation among local bloggers. It struck me that one way to start this conversation is to ask everyone some questions about blogging, and post the answers in several locations as a reference point for future bay-area and central [...] The Associated Press just released this research report (.pdf) about the possible direction of news media – A New Model for News: Studying the Deep Structure of Young-Adult News Consumption. “Newspapers, scheduled broadcasts and even Web sites are giving way to a chaotic system of self-aggregation that is producing disappointing results not only for news producers, [...] The most common response from those who oppose net neutrality is – We don’t need legislation because no one’s throttling bits, or creating multi-tiered internet distribution. The Time Warner branch in Beaumont, Texas is trying out a system where slow access is cheaper than fast access (over the same cable lines). This sets up a structure [...] In the post below I suggest that legislators should not vote on bills that directly affect groups that have given them money. This, of course, is a pipe dream. Even if such a law were passed lobbyists would simply find other ways to “support” their targeted candidate. CSX, for example, gave $25,000 not to Representative [...] Here’s an idea. Let’s say we pass federal legislation allowing politicians to take all the lobbyist money they want. The sky’s the limit. However, once they take money from a lobbyist they can never vote on a bill that affects that lobby. And they especially can’t introduce a bill that benefits that lobby as Florida’s [...] Metro I-4 News is a new project by Chuck Welch, who hosts the excellent Lakeland Local blog. In addition to daily pointing to “Today’s Five Must Read Articles from local newspapers,” Metro I-4 News boasts a collection of local bloggers offering commentary on regional issues. Among the contributors are Tommy Duncan from Sticks of Fire, [...] I was going to review the latest Indy movie, but time got away from me. Fortunately Mike at Buffalog writes about Indy and Speed Racer. Proving that he’s obviously a man of good sense and great intelligence his take on the summer movies so far matches almost perfectly with my own. Tampa Film Fan points to Tampa Theatre’s schedule of summer classics. Tampa Theatre summer schedule. One common piece of advice among the bloggerati advising those new to blogging is – Don’t blog about blogging. Pshaw. I love the behind the scenes BS, the ubiquitous “meta” post, and I refuse to avoid them on the advice of self-proclaimed blogging experts. And so, a blog post about this blog. Mostly it’s all come together. I [...] Combine the cool cigarette-loving hipness of Mad Men with contemporary paranoia about potential epidemics like ebola or SARS, and what do you get? This episode of the Alfred Hitchcock Hour directed by a young Sydney Pollack about an outbreak of anthrax in LA – “Diagnosis: Danger.” What do you do about a group of people who fired weapons at American soldiers, who killed American soldiers, who imprisoned American soldiers, and who (some sources suggest) tortured American soldiers? If you’re a member of Sons of Confederate Veterans you choose to celebrate them with a giant Confederate flag. The flag, a rectangular 30 x 50 [...] |
