No particular order. I couldn’t in good conscience get it down to a cool 10. To be fair, I could do a separate list just for Fireland, to help you know where to start.

Jessica Simpson’s secret baby is really confusing, because I think everyone expected her to be one of those women who exploits her pregnancy for all it’s worth. And now here she is, looking about seven minutes away from delivery, with nary a word of confirmation.
Rumor has it she’s waiting on the right price from magazines willing to shell out cash for an exclusive.
Now that’s our girl.

Name Cole Stryker
Location New York
First Post January 2008Writer Cole Stryker is scholar of internet culture. Like some kind of geeked-out Indiana Jones, he slips into the underbelly of internet communities you may have never heard of, collects evidence of their strange and sometimes bizarre customs, and then emerges back in the sunlight to present his findings and their possible implications. His new book, Epic Win For Anonymous, is the latest collection of such anthropological findings. For fun, Cole enjoys eating boxes and boxes of pizza.

Maybe it’s my kink showing, but I’ve got a thing for those ziptie handcuffs that the police have been using throughout the occupation protests.
I’m fascinated by them, not just as objects, but as their potential to be a symbol. They are ‘single use only’ instruments of oppression — cheap, wasteful, and violent — and of course, they come in pink.
In a disposable plastic society, a pair of ziptie handcuffs couldn’t be a more fitting representation of the banality of evil, and if it were up to me, the wide-eyed shape of those loops of nylon would become an appropriated logo for everyone who’s fed up with living in a police state.
I stumbled onto this post the other day through Hacker News. Basically Ryan Dahl (the guy who wrote node.js, a web framework that makes running web servers easy with javascript) called out the deplorable state of software today.
I fully agree with him.

Geraint Wyn Davies’s other starring role this year is as Falstaff in The Merry Wives of Windsor. This is, let’s not beat around the bush, not a very good play. I don’t merely mean that it’s not first-rate Shakespeare. Troilus and Cressida is a structurally problematic play. Two Gentlemen of…
