Yea, me neither, but pretty soon you could if you wanted thanks to a new site that will let people you know anonymously answer questions about you that you post. This lies between “somewhat tempting” and “I’m running away as we speak”.

I also found out that she (my Little) loves (500)...

WatchAs a member of the collaborative art community hitRECord (mostly as an audience to the brilliantly creative minds that convene there), I have watched this piece go from a written story posted by one member to this amazing piece of art. The most amazing thing about it being that it was created by people all over the world. People who have probably never met each other in person, but who were...

*closes eyes and takes a deep breath in*
Okay, deep breath in….and…..mmm something smells like BBQ.
*breathes out slowly*
Mm. That smells really good. I wonder if it’s ribs.
*deep breath in*
You’re a vegan you should not be meditating about ribs.
*and out*
I can appreciate them without partaking.
*deep breath in*
Like women. I appreciate when a woman is hot, but it...

WatchThe Onion: Final Season of Lost to Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever
To quote Dan Hopper of BWE.tv, “I thought The Onion usually just did fake news.”
(I can already feel the hate vibes I’m going to be getting from my Lost fan friends over this.)

Last.fm
I’ve had a Last.fm account since 2006 due to my job in online music marketing. However, beyond being skilled at setting up band accounts, I had no idea what to do with my own. When I left that job I totally forgot it existed, rediscovered it a year or so later, still didn’t really do anything with it except download the Scobbler and go WTF?, and most recently actually started using...

Team Conan
Excellent statement released today by the Tonight Show host (via NYT.com):
People of Earth:
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been...

Wanted: Relaxing vacation spot
I’m looking for recommendations for nice, reasonably-priced all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean or Mexico. This is a trip my mom and I are taking to celebrate her retirement and I want us to just be able to relax and only worry about reapplying sunscreen and when the waiter is bringing the next Pina Colada.
Musts:
Beach. Sandy, white beach.
Restaurant/food variety. (I’m a...

WatchJimmy Fallon’s spontaneous Muppet sing-a-long.
I dare you to watch this and not break out in a huge smile. You won’t be able to do it. Jimmy Fallon and his Muppet guests break into a rendition of Three Dog Night’s One during down time on the set while rehearsing a Christmas special segment for Late Night.

People in love for so long GMH →
givesmehope:
I work in an ICU, and yesterday while on shift I noticed that the same elderly man had been sleeping in the waiting room for four days. I asked him why he didn’t go home for a sleep. Turns out he is the husband of a woman in isolation on the ward. In his words “We’ve been married 65 years, I couldn’t sleep without her there anyway.”
