Wow!
This is even better than the last one.

Red Sex, Blue Sex: The New Yorker →
An interesting look into religion and sex, starting with why so many evengelical teenagers get pregnant.
The vast majority of white evangelical adolescents—seventy-four per cent—say that they believe in abstaining from sex before marriage. (Only half of mainline Protestants, and a quarter of Jews, say that they believe in abstinence.) Moreover, among the major religious groups, evangelical virgins...

Good Morning (via Wreck & Salvage on Vimeo) We farmed a good two months of GMA and boiled it on down to this sweet six. Put it in a jar and store it down in the basement in case of emergency.
Fantastic!

Some updates to “In search of a wireless router that doesn’t suck”:
I mentioned the Apple Airport Extreme in the first paragraph. I appreciate the recommendations, but user reviews (and my own personal experience in an office full of them) seem to indicate a pretty average failure rate compared to every $40 router out there.
I know about the Linksys WRT54GL, the version of the popular...

All but one.
Enough
I give up. I haven’t checked my dashboard since last week’s debate (triggered by political overdose) and after going through 60 pages of content, I have to stop. In the time I read that much, there has been 20 pages of new content. The dashboard tab is taunting me with “(199)” in the title. Similarly, my rss reader has been untamed and growing out of control for almost...

Marcus Nonius Macrinus, born in Brescia in northern Italy, was a general and consul who led military campaigns for Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor from 161 AD to 180 AD. He became part of the Emperor’s inner circle and one of...

When members of the audience occupy the space, the mirrors inquisitively follow someone that they find interesting. They will watch this person until they become disinterested, then either seek out another subject or return to their private chatter.

This really reminds me of the mirror sunflowers...

9 Hardest Times of your Life
soupsoup:unicornology:skysignal:
1. Being questioned when you yourself don’t understand. 2. Pretending to be innocent of what you are guilty about. 3. Trying to forget something you know you never will. 4. Admitting you were wrong after you have been so insistent that you were right. 5. Debating with yourself. 6. Accepting the fact that some things are not meant to be. 7. Trying to understand when...

You are in this world to love someone.
peterwknox:cica:noahkai:shesapsycho:stare-at-walls:
You are in this world to love someone. Find that someone and love them until you can’t feel anything anymore. It’s worth the pain. It’s worth the time. It’s worth giving up every piece of dignity you have. Even if it makes you look like a fool. Even if it makes you look stupid in everyone else’s eyes. Don’t ever ever ever listen to what they...
