In morning.

Some not-extremely-cheery reading for your Tuesday morning:

  1. The worsening African AIDS crisis.
  2. Religious extremists are dumb.
  3. So are destroyers of civil rights, Obama possibly included.

Five2 for Friday, May 7 2010.

In order of awesomeness, five new summery albums (Cosmogramma would be fighting for #1, but I don’t really think it counts as “summery”):

  1. The National – High Violet
  2. LCD Soundsystem – This is Happening
  3. Delorean – Subiza
  4. The New Pornographers – Together
  5. The Hold Steady – Heaven is Whenever

Five blogging platforms WordPress is superior to:

  1. Movable Type
  2. Blogger
  3. Tumblr
  4. Livejournal
  5. Xanga

And yes, I’ve had 4/5 of these at one point or another.

Five for Friday, February 26.

I realize I don’t write many unabashedly uplifting posts, so here is a list of five things that made me happy recently:

  1. My friend J-Wy got into MICA, and will be living with me for a few weeks. Sorry if that ruins the surprise for people she hasn’t told yet.
  2. These messenger bags made from life jackets. If I could wear yellow, I would be all about it. I can’t, so I bequeath this to you.
    Update: It is €129. So, never mind.
  3. Darkon. Less than five minutes in, there are night/dark elves. Talking in an elf-language. Wearing blackface. And then it gets legitimately touching, and pretty good. Worth watching.
  4. Finally, proof that guinea pigs can code.
  5. Getting paid. Paychecks are tremendous, but direct deposit rules the schools.

Five for Friday, February 19.

Because Eamonn asked about podcasts he should check out, here are five I listen to:

  1. Stuff You Should Know. A podcast about random cool things, like ninja and crazy government experiments.
  2. Uhh Yeah Dude. A news and comedy podcast by two guys in LA. Jonathan is a vegan and recovering rasta, and Seth has some neatness issues and watches a lot of TV. It reminds me vaguely of Car Talk, if Click and Clack talked about jerking off.
  3. Fresh Produce. Essentially a radio show, with a mix of deep cuts and current hits and remixes. Pain in the ass to find on iTunes, though.
  4. Savage Love. A lot of people probably know this one already, but other people’s sex questions are funny.
  5. This American Life. Pretty sure everyone knows about this show, but it’s still worth mentioning.

Anything else I should be listening to?
