Brain candy for magazine addicts
Brain candy for magazine addicts like me: A history of magazines
The most chilling thing i
The most chilling thing i read online since 9/11 blog reports:
"Brandon Carl Vedas, 21, takes a mix of drugs (methadone, klonopin, etc) while in front of his webcam and chatting on IRC. He overdoses, and dies with the webcam still on." (from Overdose on IRC? @ metafilter. And - sadly - it's apparently not a hoax.) It reminds me of instances when i had to get my friends out of trouble, talk them out of drugs, alcohol and get them medical help. I cannot possibly understand how things can go *this* bad without anyone noticing (friends, family), and feel sorry for the parents of this guy. But also, i can't help but think of their tragic role in their child's death... i mean, there must have been signs... 360mp methadone??? I don't know. It's hard to read, and hard to digest.

Lots of good stuff at
Lots of good stuff at Feng Shui for web designers:
"Life and movement can be used to fill in stagnant areas or break up long, straight lines. In interior design terms this can mean putting plants in the corners of rooms, or fish tanks against boring walls. On the web, this might mean the addition of some pleasant, natural-looking graphics. It does not mean that you must add some really annoying animated GIFs that repeat their sequence forever. Take it from me, that is bad ch'i."

A blog entry from Israel
A blog entry from Israel beginning the year 2003: {from This Normal Life}
And in any case, I don’t really believe that the gas masks are going to work anyway. I’m sure that chemical weapons of mass destruction seep in through the skin.
“You have to wear long sleeves,” Amir chimes in when I arrive home.
“Didn’t you learn how to use your gas mask?” asks Merav.
The kids had a lesson in school. They practiced putting them on, taking them off.
“They even taught us how to give the shot,” adds Merav referring to Atropin, the drug that is supposed to counter the effects of a chemical attack. “You stick it in your thigh really quickly, like this.” She makes a jabbing motion with her hands. “Then squeeze down slowly. It doesn’t even hurt.”
Oh. My. God. Welcome to the 21st century.
