stink big
http://purplemotes.net/2008/06/29/stink-big/I saw this horse manure on the sidewalk during my ride to work. Small and stale. Not very impressive. To really impress a regulator, there has to be a big, steaming pile of horse manure. …

Comforthood
http://www.tinkerx.com/index.php/2008/06/08/comforthood/s the connection to degenerative brain disorders and shopping for jewelry? Well… let’s move on to YouTube. Douglas Galbi, over at the ever-intelligent and interesting “purple motes” blog, has an excellent recent post titled, “Stories largely missing in online video.” His conclusion, after going over some good stats, is that online video is not successful in telling stories. While I agree with him that the “short form” video — with YouTube as its major example

But, in response to desertions from its ranks, the Hoya gang dragooned into service researchers from the National Institute of Health, transported across 2500 years an astonished oarsman from an ancient Greek trireme, and even rounded up some Pirates of the Potomac.
