Flash Linky

Been having emails with the technicians working on my laptop. Apparently Flash 10 didn’t play nice with my graphics card. Stupid Flash 10! Various other problems are also either fixed or not fixed. (Intermittent bluescreen of death = not fixed.)

Thomas Scovell writes smartly about identity, growing up, Facebook privacy, and media misrepresentation, among other things. A great essay.

Using Facebook relationship status updates to chart when during the year people break up.

Scott Kendrick’s wonderful Catches I Have Dropped (a cricket poem, but don’t let that scare you off) was Helen’s pick for Tuesday poem this week.

  2. “I love you so much… April Fool, sucker! I get the kids, house and car, you get the lawnmower!”

    I guess that graph would probably look different in the Southern hemisphere.
