Found this poem (via) yesterday, and even though there’s no attribution, and it’s a bit corny and hokey, it made me smile so I’m sharing it here:
When Elmo isn’t ticklish, And Pooh Bear hates honey, When Tigger stops bouncing, And Goofy isn’t funny, When Peter Pan can’t fly, And Simba never roars, When Alice in Wonderland Can’t fit through small doors,...

WatchI really, really liked the series finale of LOST, and wasn’t upset that they didn’t answer all the questions. In fact, I was mainly interested in how they would tie up the narrative: LOST, for me, wasn’t about figuring things out and trying to understand the significance of everything that happened. Instead, it was about storytelling, and how they were able to create compelling...

Spilled my coffee all over my shirt.
Spilled that same coffee all over my flipchart paper for my presentation this morning.

WatchRemarkable video on the deserted swimming pools in Fresno and those that enjoy them now:
Some of them are full of black water. Others have become graveyards for old lawn furniture and rodent carcasses. They are shaped like jelly beans and manufactured by companies named Sunny Side and Champagne. Once upon a time, Fresno was the California Dream. Own a car. Own a house. Own a pool. Everyone...
