Integrating Tumblr into Wordpress
In planning the HighStreet Blog, we decided that, along with the longer, magazine-style articles and reviews, we wanted to have a couple of places where we could just throw stuff up that we thought was cool. One of those ended up being the Inspiration Board, and the other ended up being Cincinnati Stream. I suggested using Tumblr for these two, since it facilitated the posting of materials one...

A great design blog (in another language, alas, but still lovely. I think it’s scandinavian?). I found it because my professor’s apartment was featured on here

It’s hard when you no longer have shared experiences. If it was a friendship of proximity then it ends up losing strength when you’re no longer with them.
This is why I haven’t seen any of my best friends from grade school and high school. :/
Apparently I can’t reblog from my phone, but ltwp, there’s an actual Muji store in soho. It’s pretty big.

Retards.
I know, right? I was watching “Last Action Hero” and I almost missed the T-1000 cameo, and I’m sure there was a bunch of other stuff going on in the police station that I didn’t see. A crime! That’s what “full screen” is!
I guess it might become a thing of the past, as more and more TV shows are switching...

Boo, Donatos.
I get annoyed every time I drive past a Donatos now. I used to really like their branding. It was pretty great for the size of the chain.
And it looked good on their stores.
Now it’s fugly.
Boo, Donatos.
I would hope they didn’t. If I’d gone into that movie having seen the first one, I’d’ve assumed that Schwarzenegger was the bad guy.

It’s a full 30 minutes into Terminator2 until you know which person sent back from the future is the bad guy. I hope movie trailers back then didn’t spoil it.

What’s notable here is Clarence Thomas argued that now kids will know that the “safest place for secret contraband” is the underpants. And that only Ginsberg (the only woman) thought that it’s unreasonable to search a 13 year old girl down to her underwear. The drugs? Ibuprofen and Aleve. Truly dangers to society.

They’re cutting 50% of the public library’s funding to close a budget gap. I wonder how much money is spent every year investigating, arresting, prosecuting, and jailing people who possess drugs, who are harming no one but themselves.

Waiting for my harddrive to stop clicking

tyznik:
If your hard drive is clicking, you should consider it already dead. There’s a high probability that you are corrupting some of your data with every click. You should stop using it and back it up completely.
