  1. Who was St Bernard of Clairvaux<\/a>?  See also<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. I find it … interesting that the emoticon<\/a> and the compact disc<\/a> are turning 25 right about the same time.<\/li>\n
  3. Disney-MGM Studios in Florida is going to be renamed Disney Hollywood Studios<\/a>. <\/li>\n
  4. Do you just delete all e-cards without reading<\/a> on the assumption they’re spam (or worse)?  It’s a problem, because I do send out e-cards to some folks (family, mostly).  When I get them, though, I do look to see if it’s ostensibly from a person I know, if it’s from a provider I’m familiar with, and if it “looks” right.<\/li>\n
  5. I blogged about it on Doing Write<\/a>, but De’s post<\/a> about Lester Dent’s Rules of Pulp Fiction<\/a> would make a nice GM’s plotting guide for any sort of pulpy game.<\/li>\n
  6. Abp. Akinola — long-suffering martyr to righteousness, faith, forbearance, and patience<\/a>?  Or, not<\/a>?<\/li>\n
  7. Are we living in The Matrix<\/em>?<\/a>  Does it matter? (via GeekPress<\/a>)<\/small> <\/li>\n
  8. How the thriving bottled water business is changing the soft drink business:  “Diet Coke is 99% Water!<\/a>“<\/li>\n
  9. And, on a related note, in keeping with recent studies indicating that caffeinated drinks only somewhat<\/em> reduce retention of water (you still net about 70-80% of the fluid consumed), I was amused Saturday to see “Coke Plus” touting its “hydration<\/a>” benefits.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
