Faux RTs
Me and @kenfagerdotcom hope to get a fun, faux celebrity retweet thing going on.
It started with my @SarahPalinUSA RT - appropriately enough. It continued today, and Ken has been hitting with some great faux RTs.
Now we want to get the party started - with Ken picking a perfect meme name. But it’s more than pretending to be a celebrity on Twitter. That’s easy. No, this is...

The Mariana Trench To Scale →
“The Mariana Trench To Scale [Pic]. It`s the deepest part of the world`s ocean and the lowest elevation of the surface of the Earth. Yeah, it`s that deep.”

A plain-English interpretation of the Mt. Vernon...
The Tea Party movement thrives on humping American history. Shucks, it’s in their name.
With this in mind, something like the Mount Vernon Statement, a reference to George Washington’s estate, seems like an obvious move.
“How can we lend our cause legitimacy?” the brainstorm may have started. “I know, we’ll all sign a Declaration-looking document vague...

Apparently Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater was now-deceased Avenged Sevenfold drummer’s favorite percussionist.
Mike’s an amazing drummer AND a great guy.

God, I’m a sucker for years-long relationships and the story behind them. But this time? It’s just photos, since 2002, of Marco Arment (developer of Tumblr and Instapaper) and his lovely bride since they met. It’s the kind of thing that gives me hope.
Just lovely.

Nessie sends her regards
It turns out that the Jersey Devil isn’t merely a member of a hockey team. Nope, it’s Mother Leed’s (lucky) thirteenth child - a hellish, winged monster that’s been spotted in Jersey.
And there’s the Mothman, who isn’t just a Richard Gere movie - and the Mothman may be connected to the Grinning Man, whose last name is “Cold.” On the Mexican...

The Setup →
I love these interviews because I get a glimpse into what the pros use, and they use great stuff. As a Mac geek, I also like seeing which Macs web developers, writers, graphic designers, and programmers are using.

– Steven Frank at stevenf.com - in a great entry in the iPad-as-a-computing-device-for-everyone argument. I love being a geek, but I’d love it if my family members could pick up a device and *get it* without my help even more.
