Cinemagraphs. They are photos where just a small portion is animated. Some are neat, some are creepy.
With the poverty, gang activity and high murder rate in my home town, Memphis, TN, it’s nice to see the police are still taking time to do the important work of stamping out the crime of illegal gardening.
See Jeb Corliss Grind the Crack. How someone can possibly learn to do that without killing themselves first, I have no idea.
All that time, Chewbacca was apparently mackin’ on Princess Leia. Who knew? But . . . who could blame him? Laugh it up, fuzzball, indeed.
Hurt your brain with 92 different optical illusions (some of those aren’t illusions, exactly, but they can still make your eyes hurt).
Boo! It’s the Ghost Cities of China. Talk about a real estate bubble. Well, they clearly believe government stimulus is the way to go. At least their shovel ready jobs aren’t in Finland!
Of course, I’m still enamored of Hashima, Japan, otherwise known as Battleship Island.
Several years ago, I tried to do a few musical covers. One of the best was probably my cover of Blondie’s Dreaming, although, I think my voice still leaves something to be desired. I mean, it “has character”. — KW
I loves me some Elizabeth Warren, I do!
Yankees clinch 16th playoff birth in 17 years with a 4-2 win over the Rays this afternoon. A win tonight and a Red Sox loss will clinch the division. It will be a travesty if the World Series this year is anything other than Phillies v Yankees. – SC

How fun! Uh-oh on the China link. kevin, try your voice on this: Tom Waits. Sorry it's not the full version.And WAY GOOD on Elizabeth Warren. If nothing else, she's firing up some people. Who knows where this will lead (or not)?I posted on another thread that we might need to let shrink know he is the first to be "pinked" on ATiM. I "removed content" (or was it delete?) from one of his old comments as an experiment, and the message that came back was "This comment has been removed by a blog administrator."

I just had the chance to look at the video that NoVA put up re social media and police accountability, it's in the link dump. It's a big story out here and they just charged the cops, one with second degree murder and the other with manslaughter. Apparently the snippet we saw at the link is only part of it. No wonder they don't want you taping them.

lms, one of my discoveries was that if you delete a blog, the comments are still visible in the comments tab. There are a couple of threads around 9/14 and 9/15 that I would prefer to delete in entirety, plus all the comments. Back then, there were not a lot (if any) substantive comments on them that I think we need to keep for posterity.

lms:Yankees have a real opportunity to help out your Angels. They are currently only 3.5 games behind the Sox for the wild card, and 1.5 behind the Rays. Yankees play the Sox 3 more times, and the Rays 4 more times after tonight. If the Angels take care of their schedule and the Yankees don't pull back after clinching, the Angels just might sneak into that Wiled Card spot.

KW, you are the bomb. Cool collection. E. Warren is downright creepy/scary. I saw that madwoman on the tube this morning declaring more war on business in America. She is going to fulfill every stereotype that comes with her background. Woe to the U.S. if her kind gains more power in 2012.

Go for it Okie.Sorry SCat, but we have something in common……….the Yanks. Actually, I pretty much despise every team but the Halos.scott, there are always so darned many scenarios this time of year that it always cracks me up. If this happens to this team, and this one wins that game, then as long as the other team doesn't have a game that day then the outcome will be perfect for us. I love baseball.

The thing that shocked me the most about the Full Tilt Poker story is how much money Ferguson and Lederer got – $25 million and $42 million respectively. That's some serious jack. Sad, though – I liked them both as players – I hope the allegations of impropriety aren't true.

Hey okie! Hi Ims, all…I'm still here, but swamped this week between day job and kiln firing which started yesterday. We'll be done sometime Sunday afternoon (crossing fingers…it's always just an estimate this far out). I just got home from firing shift, and doing a little catch up reading before sleep. okie, sad to say I am going to miss the debate tomorrow night. :o( Won't get home till after 1:00AM, have to cover for someone who bailed on us.

@Scott and qb: wonder if DDAWD got caught in the Poker Ponzi Portal? ;-)Moving day #1 tomorrow so I'll probably be offline until Friday afternoon, depending on how things go. okie, I went through the comments back to when I joined ATM and deleted my comments that I don't want the world to see (some completely, some leaving the placeholder depending on if there were comments linked to mine or not), but if you see something I missed feel free to delete. I don't think I've dropped any pearls of wisdom yet that deserve to be enshrined for all internet eternity. And thanks for thinking of Taroya and me, Troll, I appreciate that!
