Fed-Up Flight Attendant for Jet Blue Lets Curses Fly, Then Makes Sliding Exit
The End
Everything is going to be OK in the end. If it is not OK, it is not the end.
The Journey's The Thing
Return trips, to this day - from anywhere - are simply invitations to dull trances or leaden slumber.

Remember when hit points actually meant something? When they weren’t nine digit numbers? Those days were nice. Less complicated.
Getting Attention
Lot Kind of Cake (by eurotransient)
Carrie and I are getting set to take off on another two week European trip. I got to looking through some photos from last year’s trip and forgot about some of the gems.
I particularly like this effort in broken English at answering the two most important questions one should ask of any cafe:
- Do you have cake?
- How many kinds do you have?
The Easy Way to Snap Screenshots and Mark Them Up
Awesome Screenshot is a great little extension for Chrome that lets you turn the entire web into a Sharpie friendly surface. Plenty of fun to be had by all! I think I’ll go draw a mustache on everyone’s face.
A Short Film About Cinema Itself
35mm (by Pascal Monaco)
A really beautiful and fun little film. It’s two minutes long and comprised entirely of minimalist interpretations of 35 films. The soundtrack is a jaunty tune with some very important aural clues stitched in. (Listen carefully at the one minute mark! I’ll give you a hint: The song rhymes with schmubular thells.)
I’ve watched it a couple of times now and I’m not even close to figuring out the whole list.
What do you see? It starts with Singing in the Rain, Titanic and Jaws. I’ve got some ideas on where it goes from there, but what do you think?
Participate in the Thing a Day Challenge for No-Stress Decluttering
It’s astonishing the amount of stuff that gets amassed. Carrie and I have been tempting ourselves to make big changes, but given how big a project that always turns out to be, we seem to get sidetracked a lot. That’s where a strategy like this could come in handy.
I’m curious though: When you’ve got drawer after drawer full of wires and cables of all kinds, do you really get to give yourself daily credit for discarding a single connecting cord? Maybe that’s the beauty of making it one thing a day: No matter how small it is, it’s now gone for good.
The downside is knowing that it’ll take approximately one million years to go through them all.
