MYO New Yorker cartoon

Make your own New Yorker cartoon with The New Yorker Cartoon Kit.
Mine will be my facebook profile picture and then people will ask me or just themselves why I have replaced my face with something that is not funny beautiful meaningful or my face and I will have no real answer. That is the plan. Also maybe win a trip to New York, that would be pretty sweet.

Joe Moran

Slightly depressing satire-fail, reading through the comments section on Joe Moran's recent CiF post 'Society for Unread Authors'.

Anyways... Made me wonder who he was and that, and in perusing his blog came across this article about life and the meaning of twitter.

Pretty good. Presents some ideas about limitations to the value of nearer-instantaneous communications (and interaction v broadcast) other than the usual 'verbal diarrhoea' argument.

It does have a bit of unnecessary wrap-up at the end, but it would still be a great article if broke off on the paragraph ending,
"We could spend our whole lives texting but there will always be part of us that is infinitely remote."
