It's been a while since I've done a linkdump. A combination of open tabs, bookmarks, and browser history contributed to this one:
- You have bad taste in music: a guy with a megaphone berates queues at rock concerts for their horrible listening habits. Humour ensues. (The one for Staind is the funniest.)
- Technosexual and AlterNet story on the phenomenon. Will the madness please stop?
- Darren points to a man who is pimping his virginity on the Internet. As if. I point out in Darren's comments an excellent article on involuntary celibacy which I linked to earlier in the year.
- I took a photo of kites in Vanier Park that I'm very happy with. Same goes for the photo of spare Ambrosio bicycle tire rims at Tour de Gastown last week. Roland took a really great photo of two racers warming up.
- If I never get to ripping apart Newsweek's terrible article on "infidelity", it would include saying this: for an article that condemns the double-standard towards women "cheating" on their husbands, it sure does focus quite a bit on the women side of things, and negatively so. And if so many people are "cheating", doesn't that say something about the legitimacy of the rules?
- a blast from the past: Heather's reaction to someone who felt it was an accomplishment to stay single for 30 days. I know about whom she's referring, but I believe the item in question is now offline. My reaction to it was something along the lines of, If you think it's amazing being alone for a month, try it for the better part of a decade.
- Breakup News, a weblog devoted to keeping track of non-famous romantic splits, and So.There, anonymous letters to people you know both seem like interesting projects, as does tired.com, a site with only an email address and a question [back-story] and You Whores, where you can buy and sell anything for any price. Yes, anything. Yes, for any price.
- Steph's story about someone mishearing what she said and her quick-thinking is funny because you have to be a geek to understand the last bit of it.
