How To Poach Salmon …In Your Dishwasher
Apparently, it works! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COOK A WHOLE FISH! 1 Place fish packets on the top rack. 2 Add dirty dishes and lemon-scented soap. This optional step is not recommended for novices. However, as long as the salmon’s tightly sealed in its aluminum foil packet, it won’t absorb any soapy taste or smell. 3 Set dishwasher to the … Read More
Facebook Open To All, Starting Today
Go there. Here’s why it’s better than myspace: Facebook is clean; you can’t add stupid music videos or sparkly lights or huge text to your profile. It’s much more professional-looking, and the features are quite useful. MySpace, on the other hand, feels like the internet circa-1997. Sure, the kids love it, but it’s uglier than anything else on the net. … Read More
Just Want To Get Something Off My Chest
I’m sick of this woman’s face. And if you don’t know who she is, don’t worry about it. I just wanted to say I’m sick of her face. Presumably, she’s a real person. Anyone know who?

Something Which May Make MySpace Bearable
There are a lot of reasons I hate Myspace, but mostly I hate the idea of it. It’s like one huge crowded online pickup bar, except with tacky decor, no booze, and a high school cafeteria mentality. It’s easy to understand why college students abandon Myspace and go to something like Facebook. And why adults prefer Blogger or Typepad or … Read More
eHow
This is a great website: eHow. What’s on it? Simply this: "Clear Instructions on How To Do (just about) Everything". Cool.
Betty And Barney Hill
I was sooo into this story when I was young. It happened 45 years ago today: On September 19, 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were heading home to Portsmouth when they encountered aliens — or so they believed. Whether true or not, their story catapulted them into national celebrity. *** It was September 19, 1961, and the weather report predicted … Read More
Foiled Again
Another year, another rejection. I’m beginning to wonder if I’ll ever win one of these Genius Award grants (each recipient receives $500,000 — with "no strings attached").

Oral Fixation
On Flickr, the photo-sharing website, some user named "toothpastery" is publishing photos of her toothpaste. Twice a day. Every day. Along with a description of the toothpaste. Apparently, it’s art. The profile of "toothpastery" (which identifies her real name as "Joanna") explains: For the most part, I’m probably just objectifying toothpaste in an unhealthy way. These images are methodically captured, … Read More
