Need a bit of relief from idiotic emails? A classic on “punctuation substitution” from the inimitable Ze
Someone’s take on 33 of the best programming fonts. Recently I switched from ProFont to Monaco.
Ah, those crazy internet memes: a mouse down memory lane.

I now return to my uncategorized Nibblettes™. Hope you enjoyed the previous thematic entries on Biking, Tech-related, Reading/Learning, Do Something, Visual, and Political topics.
A thought dump on teen violence and a broken society
Violence among teenagers in the UK is on a massive and frightening increase. I think it would be easy to say ‘a lot has changed since I was a teen’, but I’m not sure what and I don’t really believe it.
Boise trees, all you want to know.
Natural insect and rodent repellants
Battle — or at least coexist with at a distance — ants, dust mites, garden invaders, mice, mosquitos, moths, roaches, and/or ticks.
Mexican food, cooking supplies
Plus some great Mexican recipes.
We are a collection of 6 women, discovering life without adhering to society’s definition of normal. We strive to educate ourselves, learn from others, and share our experiences with not dabbling in normal. We are committed to creating lives of our own making and by our own definition, we know we are not alone and look forward to using this forum as a means to meet other folks who refuse to dabble in normal.
Bat bonanza! 100+ species found in 5 acres of jungle
I like bats. Bats offer a lot in the balance of things and they’re getting nudged out in some places (which neighbors will soon regret).
Where can I donate or recycle my old computer and/or electronic products?
This EPA site might give you a first step. Heard that Best Buy is jumping into doing that as well.
Where the Hell is Matt? (2008) from Matthew Harding on Vimeo.
Villainess soaps. If that name doesn’t grab you, the idea of a wasabi face scrub should wow you.
Some background on the ad campaign. Or skip over to the movie. You gotta see the movie.
A comprehensive online food diary & calorie counter
Practical experience on the impermanence of…
The art of nonconformity > How to be unremarkably average
Accept what people tell you at face value. Surround yourself with people who think like you. Don’t stand out. Stay close to home. Get a normal job. Do things the way everyone else does, because there has to be a method to the madness…
Upgrading to version 3.0 (of me)
This prompts me to my own. Slainte, Darragh!
A different point of view. Free culture. Couchsurfers and Barcamp and Coworking.

Has been added to my “news” regular reads. You ask questions, vote on what should be followed up on, and they’ll go bug the Capitol Hill lawmaker.
All those hundreds of TV channels may lead you that there’s a true diversity and variety in today’s television … but you’d be wrong. A handful of large companies control what you see, hear, and read every day.
Running for Office: It’s Like A Flamewar with a Forum Troll, but with an Eventual Winner
Sean Tevis of Kansas is running for state representative. In a different way. With cartoons.
McCain’s not so nice. But we knew that. (The Guardian)
A slight (cough) difference between McCain and Obama tax proposals
I’m sure you’re one of the poor millionaire class that needs the helping hand.

There’s never been a great woman artist
“Only men are capable of aesthetic greatness. Women make up 50 per cent or more of classes at art school. Yet they fade away in their late 20s or 30s. Maybe it’s something to do with bearing children.”
Art & Fear:Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking (book review)
Art is made by ordinary people. Creatures having only virtues can hardly be imagined making art. It’s difficult to picture the Virgin Mary painting landscapes. Or Batman throwing pots. The flawless creature wouldn’t need to make art.
Cursivebuildings’ odd stereoscopes
Just look.
Two-Thirds Primary by Rod Hunting and Tiffany Paige
Finding by seeing. Photographers.
Pages from essentially the same book. Casual art.
Vintage postcard collection online.
Hendrix, translated. Video.
