dailymeh: The blog of John Chang, who managed (manages?) the MIT blackjack team whose adventures beating casinos are portrayed in the upcoming (or already in cinemas, depending on where in the world you are) movie 21. In his own words: My name is John Chang. I am the basis for Ben Mezrich’s characters Mickey Rosa (from Bringing Down the House) and Victor Cassius (from Busting Vegas). Kevin...

patrickrhone: Very interesting presentation on a game plan to reduce climate change. Makes a whole lot of sense.

In$truction manual
jakoblodwick: What if money had instructions on the back? Basic economic facts, wise slogans, etc? I think it would be useful. or patronizing. this might work if our economy was a little more democratic, but we all know that isn’t the case.
tumblr meetup at Whisk&Ladle
peterwknox: brieflynoted:sharingtime: It’s time for another meetup! Instead of congregating at a bar, we’re doing things a bit differently this time. We’re meeting at the Whisk&Ladle! You’ll need to RSVP for this so I can email you the exact address. At the request of the folks who run this fine establishment, they ask you not to re-blog the address. Just email me at leetumbls (at)...

between writing posts for other places (TBA), catching up on e-mail, planning my weekend, having deep conversation with kate, and doing my nightly reading…i was able to put this together. surprisingly (and not intentionally), it’s a very personal collection of songs. these were all major plays during my “most formative” years (read: college). i had set out just to put...

Also coming soon: M4A support, RSS feeds (last minute omission from the launch schedule), more customization, many many many other things. In the meantime, check these out (of the people I know, I think they’re more indicative than anything I’d...
Watchjakeandamir: Good Cop, Bad Cop oh the memories.
Needed: News Tumblr
jakoblodwick: streeter: Will somone either point me to or make a tumblr that just posts little news bits throughout the day? No more than 10 a day, either. I just want the big stories and I want them in 200 words or less with a link to the source. What if CNN lost 99% of its employees? I would turn it into a web site with 10 crucial articles each day, and no more. Many people would probably...

"Garfield Minus Garfield" a troubling lesson on...
marco: Excellent, overthought review of Garfield Minus Garfield. Garfield barely resembles a cat. He is more of a logo, a product, a nonsense shape whose meaning derives only from its position in popular culture, as something you can buy. Garfield exists merely as a trinket, another blip in the continual accelerating churn of late capitalism’s ravenous hunger for the “new.” But these trinkets...
truth.
yourmonkeycalled: Opinions are like assholes: 99% of them are boring.
