Boing Boing: Keyboard waffle-iron My husband David would love it if someone would send him a box of frozen QWERTY keyboard waffles. I’m sure they would be delicious and yummy and it would be fun to “type” while eating, although it would be pretty messy. I’m just sayin’. [tags]BoingBoing, waffles[/tags]

UnNews:Pastafarians celebrate National Day of ARRRRRRRRRRRR – Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia CORVALLIS, Oregon — Oregon State University (OSU) hosted the country’s largest and only congregation of Pastafarians to participate in the US government’s National Day of Prayer celebration. While the FlyingSpaghetti Monster and his high-cholesterol suffering followers are still not yet recognized by any of the world’s legitimate governments, it is still considered a more believable religion than Scientology and all its stupid Alien DC-9s and Thetan crap. Darn! I totally missed this shit! Well done, OSU, our pants are off to you! Maybe we can all have spaghetti for…

According to Joey The Accordion Guy the official fight song of the Internet should be that instantly recognizable classic, the "Amok Time" fight scene music where Kirk and Spoke duke it out with various bizarre weapons so Spock can marry his betrothed… and all that that implies. Like the Vulcan ritual that the music underscored, most internet arguments are triggered by a response in the most primitive parts of our brains, look silly to outsiders and seem to be taken up by people who are slated to have sex once every seven years. My favorite weapon was always when T'Pol…

Here's one way to do it: grab people who waste power and shake some sense into them. Sorry about the down time – my husband David wasn't around today and so I had to wait for him to walk me through the difficult and dangerous procedure by phone to get the blogs back up. Here's what he had me do: Walk downstairs and identify which of several "tower" computers is the one where the blogs and David's computer archives reside (hint for next time – it's the one in the middle).

Kitchen Confidential, by Anthony Bourdain , by Anthony Bourdain If you’ve ever watched No Reservations, a travel and food show hosted by Anthony Bourdain, then you have “Tony’s” voice in your head as you read this book, the one that made him famous enough to be made host of his own show(s). He has a trademark writer’s voice, too – a little too cool for his own good, but genuinely racked-out sounding and with a certainhardcore urbanity and something that sounds like a foodie-sensualist’s version of Beat Poetry on his summing-up monologues. I’m a fast reader, so it’s not unusual…
