Paul Mitchell or Twitter?
Someone share some permissions for this somewhere? A Paul Mitchell promotion: Twitter’s Homepage: UPDATE: Ahh, I’m not the only one who noticed of course.  Sounds like it’s some stock photography used.

“Arguably Ockham’s view only came to be accepted in Einstein’s...”
– about William of Ockham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Funny this is describing something about the same guy who “advocated a reform both in method and in content, the aim of which was simplification”.

Dave and the pigeon
My wife is checking out at Walgreens today on Christmas Eve.  And there’s a crowd of people, many employees, just hanging out by the entrance/exit of this place.  They are crowded there because a pigeon has gotten into the store and is now trying to fly out, unsuccessfully.  And with all the employees gathered there, no one can check out.   You can hear the employees saying things like...

SWAP
Today was jury duty. I never got to become an actual juror. The trial went to a bench trial and they let us all go at noon. It has been a weird day though. Lynette dropped me off 3 hours early at the courthouse on her way to work at 6:30 in the morning.

Create a Twitter box in your sidebar  →
Still getting the hang of merging my use of Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook into a useful thing in my life.  The Twitter updates in the Tumblr feed were getting a bit rediculous, so I’ve moved those over into a sidebar.  Credit to Ryan Singer’s tumblog for having that sidebar first, and a google search led me to find the technique mentioned here at pinkandyellow.

After a few weeks, people who follow this routine “feel better about themselves, have more energy and feel more alert,” Emmons says.
