This is a long post to get to why I’m converted to be a Delta Airlines (well @DeltaAssist) twitter fan! I’m surprised no random news outlet has done a story on the airline twitter customer service thing yet. I’ve been “stranded” in Prague since last Thursday (the quotes are because..well it is Prague). I was [...]

Humorous Online Dating blog
A person I know, whose name I can’t divulge, started a blog for her on-line dating hilarity. So far it’s mainly some of the hilarious messages she’s received. http://youlostmeat.wordpress.com/

Jack Layton
The leader of Canada’s opposition party, the NDP, passed away of cancer. If you’ll remember, this past year the NDP led by Layton historically destroyed the Liberal party and received a higher percentage of votes than they ever had (mostly from Quebec). He wrote this beautiful final letter once he realized he may not survive. [...]

Samosapedia
Best site of the day. http://www.samosapedia.com/ The definitive guide to Indian English. For example, did you know that Rakhi (the bracelet that sisters tie on their brother’s hand for the holiday Raksha Bandhan) is apparently also used for girls to KLPD “would-be suitors?” And now you’re probably wondering what KLPD even means. Look it up [...]

I’m officially swearing off the news
Does everyone remember a few months ago when the big story was how if you sit at work then NO amount of exercise will EVER safe you. Or I think you had to do well over an hour a day. But anything less than that is basically the equivalent of doing nothing at all. Well [...]

How to cope with a post-conflict wizarding world
I’ve posted this on every social media site I could, but I love it. Foreign Policy wrote a policy on how to deal with the transition from conflict to post-conflict society after the death of Voldemort. Former U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre and retired Gen. Gordon Sullivan have described four pillars of post-conflict reconstruction: [...]

LAST DAY for Snail Mail my Email
It’s the last day to participate in this art project where you e-mail a under 100 word letter and someone writes it out in a nice way and mails it to your friend. http://snailmailmyemail.org/ To my friend who will receive a snail mailed letter, I wrote it under pressure! Now that I’ve looked through the [...]

Phones for women who think they’re fat…
HTC has come out with some sort of “phone for women!” And while there are many phones that come in pretty colours…and apparently have charms dangling off of them that lights up when you have a message… the gutsy move by HTC (or Verizon) is that rumour has it they will be pre-load the phone [...]

Manhattan Shoebox Apartment
I just got an apartment in New York. It’s in the mid one-thousand (I figure I shouldn’t be putting figures on a blog) for a fairly tiny one-bedroom. The bedroom holds a bed and apparently an armoire because there’s no closet. The living room is small and the kitchen is in the back of it. [...]
