Chicago, Illinois, April 1977- "I knew what I was in for ten seconds after Guitar Player said to me: 'We want you to interview Led Zeppelin.' My head filled with the clarion call of screaming guitars and in a moment of epiphany I saw it all: Jimmy Page would be my touchstone. Every story I’d ever written or ever would write would be measured against this one."

Why cover only the nipples? I've been seeing magazine spreads with female celebrities and the like where the whole breast is showing, but only the nipple is covered up.

Why cover only the nipple and allow the showing of the rest of the breast? What are the societal or other reasons behind this seemingly arbitrary practice?

Is this overthinking a plate of beans? "Now that it's picnic season, I'm back to making my famous three-bean salad. But every time I'm at the grocery store, I feel torn between the canned kidney beans and the dried ones in bags. Transporting the canned ones must produce more emissions, since they're heavier, but how does that compare with the carbon footprint of boiling dried beans for hours on a stovetop?"

I can't help thinking that a MeFite is having fun with Slate, but I'm probably wrong.

Travelling and ravelling: tales from a dozen years of knitting on the TTC I’ve been living in Toronto for almost sixteen years, and I’ve spent something in the neighbourhood of 10,000 hours on the TTC. Reading on a moving vehicle makes me motion sick, so I knit (or sometimes sew, crochet, cross-stitch, or embroider, etc.) to while away the time spent commuting. This has led to numerous knitting-related incidents. →Read more...

Is it moral to use evil means to achieve a good end? I was thinking about this:

Let's say that I'm a drug kingpin. I supply drugs that get people addicted and ruin the lives of the addict's loved ones. I traffic in underage prostitutes. To complete it, I also pay my drug mules next to nothing.

But, I then use the money I make from the above activities to build churches, fund religious education, and do good works in my community.

Would I go to hell because I'm engaged in glorifying God, or do I go to hell because of the misdeeds I am committing?

Photo Friday : Today's theme is "Something Surprising"

Holy crap! I got an LED to light up on a breadboard! I'm getting a bit obsessively into "embedded electronics" and "programming microprocessors." I have no electronics background, but a friend taught me how to solder a simple pre-made kit together, and now I'm hooked. So I found this set of tutorials, and have successfully graduated from the very first one!

Until now, I'd always thought this was way too butch for me!

Do you have a similar job to your parent(s)? I know so many teachers whose father was also a teacher, or doctors whose mother was a doctor. Have you followed in a parent's footsteps? Did you even consider it? Did you make a conscious choice to do something different to your parents? Did your parents' professions not factor into the equation at all?
