• Everything considered harmful
  Hehe… just about everything, including “… considered harmful” essays, have been considered harmful by one person or another.

• Myke Weiskopf
  Shortwave avatar, sound designer, and radio artist. Some lovely ambient-ish tracks here. “Faders” and “Nevada Sign” are especially nice.
• The Scourge of Arial
  Fascinating article about the font’s history.
• Quest Systems Linux
  “THE HACKERS ARE ON THE INSIDE TOO and this is WHY you NEED SECURE QuestSystemsLinux!” … I don’t get it. Is this a joke? Regardless, it’s damn funny.

  “And he would have liked the fact that, on 29 April, Apple is releasing the latest iteration of its Macintosh operating system: version 10.4, code-named Tiger.”

• Mac OS X 10.8 Liger
  It’s pretty much my favorite operating system.
• Mercedes-Benz Mixed Tape
  Free music from Mercedes-Benz. Some quite good stuff here.
• Abercrombie & Fitch: Music
  Today is music day, I guess. More yummy free stuff, this time from A&F.

Seeing as all the cool kids have been making lists lately, I felt the need to jump on the bandwagon.

I now present the top ten dishes I most hate washing…

1. Peanut butter knives (though I love peanut butter)
2. Thin flower vases (not technically a dish, but WHATEVER)
3. Anything oily
4. Those plastic Ziploc food storage thingies
5. Large pots
6. Cereal bowls that have been sitting out
7. Any plate or bowl where all the food wasn’t finished
8. Pyrex casserole dishes
9. Whisks

And the number one dish I most hate washing is…

Colanders. Ugh. They have all these little holes and they get the starchy pasta juice all over inside and out and they’re such a pain. If someone told me that I never had to wash another colander in my life, that would be incredible news.

• A Collection of Letters
  Written to companies with the purpose of eliciting humorous responses. Reminds me a bit of Overqualified.
• You Are Beautiful
  Spreading the message with stickers, graffiti, and other art.

Tonight Cliff and I were chatting and came up with the “adam scale.” It, well, it doesn’t really rate anything. And it kind of means whatever I want it to.

For example: “This dinner is an 8.3 on the adam scale.” “See that duck over there? It’s a 2 on the adam scale.”

So basically, it’s the best rating system ever created.

This post? Definitely a 6.
