“Brian, do you want to hold the new baby? Why not? Everyone else has…Oh come on, please?! Just go over there and sanitize your hands. You can sit on the couch while you hold her, if you want. Why not?”
- The thought of Sen. Ted Stevens appearing on The Daily Show - Jon Stewart did a bang-up job of lampooning Sen. Stevens and his idiotic comments about Net Neutrality. The thought of this asshat appearing on the show would make me giddy. Tubes…heh.
- Westmalle Trappist Tripel - I sipped an 11oz bottle of this Belgian white ale last night whilst peeling wallpaper. Not sure if the 10% ABV contributed to it or not, but I thoroughly enjoyed this beer. And to think that it was brewed by Belgian Monks makes it that much more awesomer!
- University of Nottingham’s website - Points off for the stock “handshake photo,” but besides that, helluva job. Beautiful use of select Flash, CSS design, great information architecture. Well done, I say!
- The icon work of Stefan Dziallas - Absolutely stunning icon work. Anyone that’s ever tried to make an icon should recognize the genius in his work. We take small symbols for granted, but his demand respect.
- Cut Chemist: The Audience’s Listening - I thought I could get through a week without mentioning a new album in FTILFF, but alas. Cut’s new solo disc (now seperated from Jurassic 5) is a perfect reflection of his personality. Soulful, whimsical, humorous and party-loving. A solid addition to the turntabilist genre.
“I’d rather not hold her. I didn’t hold your last child the day she was born, either. And look, she turned out just fine! Besides, I just dumped her on her face in the waiting room before we came in. Twice. Sorry in advance for those bruises.”
