with a nicely spiked heel, I’d Gretel these.
Bread shoes are not recommended for ninjas or thieves, who want to avoid leaving a trail of bread crumbs.
also posted by Steven today, an article reporting that a baguette dropped from a bird’s beak has shut down the Large Hadron Collider (really). looks like someone’s been loafing around at work — sorry, couldn’t help myself.
i was just going to post about this but someone beat me to it!

Zizek is my favorite theorist for many reasons—mostly, whenever I miss grad school, I watch video of him expounding and am hugely entertained.
Highly recommend his Twitter account, @zizekspeaks (if only for the bio). Great moment (0:41 in) that culturite points to about consumption—

Slavoj Zizek: The Monstrosity of Christ
Killin it as usual. Watch/listen to the whole thing, but especially at 0:41:13 when he slays organic food, Starbucks, Ethos water & consumption as relief of social responsibility.

When you're in a spelling bee and you miss a word, you never forget the word you missed and the proper spelling of it. Ever.
4th grade: I lost in the final round to Pat Rusert (I think that was his name) on ‘congratulations.’ My thinking was that we congratulate graduates, so those words should be the same. Still mad about it.
6th grade. The reader said “Certify” and then used “Certified” in a sentence. I can’t remember which tense I spelled, but whichever one wasn’t the one they were looking for. The reader was my older sisters’ English teacher.
My word in 5th grade was “artichoke.”
6th grade. “aisle.” I didn’t even make it past qualifying, actually. I should have probably been in a slow class.

In-Q-Tel, the investment arm of the CIA and the wider intelligence community, is putting cash into Visible Technologies, a software firm that specializes in monitoring social media. It’s part of a larger movement within the spy services to get better at using ”open source intelligence” — information that’s publicly available, but often hidden in the flood of TV shows, newspaper articles, blog posts, online videos and radio reports generated every day.Exclusive: U.S. Spies Buy Stake in Firm That Monitors Blogs, Tweets | Danger Room | Wired.com (via slavin)

Merlin just mentioned something something about wishing the Trending Topics DIV on the Brizzly.com sidebar could be toggled on/off computer speak something, but I think we can all agree here that my way is clearly simpler, more elegant, more beautiful and absolutely 100% foolproof.
