In the process of updating the links that appear in the right-hand sidebar of this blog, I came across the following information, products, recipes, videos, and other assorted delights:
>> "I want to Barack your world" valentines from an Etsy.com seller. Topical!
>> Butternut squash macaroni and cheese recipe. I can't emphasize enough how much you won't regret this.
>> Watch this Philadelphia lady make her awesome block print shirts on MARTHA! If you're having a baby you're getting one of these.
>> Five Awesome Girls is an offshoot of my favorite YouTube project of 2008, Brotherhood 2.0. Harry Potter references abound (and go over my head), but these are the kind of teenagers you're relieved to find out exist.
>> "When you look at the enormous communal plate you feel you the luckiest motherfucker of all time." Let Mindy Kaling - better known as Kelly Kapoor on NBC's The Office - take you on a tour of everything you should buy even if you can't afford it, including the Ethiopian food she's describing in the above quote.
While I'm at it, I also have to give kudos to Facebook. Never have I loved a social networking website so deeply for its ability to connect me with people I like on an informal, low-pressure basis. I mean, I just became friends with my dad's former boss-slash-mentor's wife, who is at least 60 years old, and who used to send me awesome Mac-based computer game prototypes on floppy disk when I was just a wee baby geek in grade school. This is so cool, is it not?
