For Your Consideration | Vivian Calliope Muraco Durbin

Unlimited congratulations and high-fives to Team Durbin. Christina and Ben have brought a perfect little person into the world and I couldn’t be happier for them.

Best middle name ever? “Calliope.” Delightful.

Pavement - “Carrot Rope”

Mark Ibold is my fantasy of the ultimate freshman roommate lottery draw.

He seems like a guy who’d replace any Cokes he drank — and wouldn’t even make a big show of pointing out that he’d done it.

Yeah, sure, it’s a weird fantasy, but, y’know, you’re not the boss of me. No. You are not. College is a complicated time, and I won’t be judged about which musician from a band I liked 15 years ago would probably replace my Cokes without making a big deal of it.

That’s between me and my God.

Well, if we pretend that’s true, then let us all bow our heads in shame, for @glamazon_barbie has provided us with an example of what the inferior intelligence test would be. Don’t worry, we all passed.

Don’t overthink it. Read ‘em all. All the way back. @glamazon_barbie is a pay cable franchise temporarily masquerading as a Turing test.

Those letters and numbers are telling a crazy fucking story. Lot going on there.

Philip Glass Ensemble - “‘Train/Spaceship’, Part 1” [1982]

It’s like watching someone do their taxes. In base-2. And Esperanto. As a palindrome.

And yet? Still gives me a giant arpeggioboner.

Darn That “Clutter!”

Cleaning Up the Clutter Online - Pogue’s Posts Blog - NYTimes.com

My favorite of David’s 372 (!) words on how the excellent Readability bookmarklet helps him cope with his distaste for all that “online clutter” are:

You know what? I would never click any ad that blinks or animates in the first place. It’s obnoxious and juvenile, and I’m not about to reward them.

Right on, David. Me, too.

That said, I am suddenly weirdly interested in learning what Verizon’s been up to with Windows Mobile.

Here’s what I regard as “the height of their powers.”
