So, if you go to Soundcloud or Youtube and really like a track and just want to repeat that over and over, just URL hack the video’s url to be http://http://soundcloudrepeat.com/a-vandals-lie/at-my-leisure or http://www.youtuberepeat.com/watch?v=_KCg_QEHtkY.

Inklings to Fables: A Good Reason Why I Don't Date →
inklingstofables:
I can’t stand the cutesy bullshit. I really can’t. And perhaps it’s best that I don’t, because it’s all fake and phony and terribly degrading.
Everything from public shows of affection to facebook comments to hammy lines about endless adoration and eternal love… especially when no one in this…

Oh, nothing big...
…but just got off a conference call with a client representing the U.N. in NYC. She’s flying out to Ethiopa Friday to go meet with a few African foreign ministers who’re going to be receiving their iPads (eventually every African nation will have one) with an app I designed to help cure malaria in Africa.

Running Towards: 2012
2011, you were an interesting year and full of many firsts. Coming into this new year I can say I’m a 2011 college graduate. I work as a designer at Smashing Boxes in Durham, at my first real job. I live in an apartment by myself named Bag’s End, my first real apartment that is. Bill payments are a weekly chore, as is cleaning, cooking, and basic household tasks, and it’s...

death by fandom
police: so how did you say she died?
doctors: we can't be sure, but it seems like a combination of The new series of Sherlock, a movie trailer for the film The Hobbit, the Doctor Who Christmas Special and the season finale of Merlin

It feels as if everyone is working in public these days. Public working leads to public criticism, and developing and articulating the etiquette around providing feedback is now a necessity to develop thicker skins and more eloquent tongues.
