I'm very proud of myself for this creation.
At The Superest:
Player 1 draws a character with a power.

I just got home from a screening of Meeting Resistance by filmmakers Molly Bingham and Steve Connors. I can't recommend it more. The film is a survey of Iraqis discussing their reasons for joining the resistance to American occupation. Their perspectives are virtually absent elsewhere, and couldn't be more important to expose ourselves to. I left the Q&A with the filmmakers feeling a profound sense of relief that this side of the story is being told with such integrity and sensitivity. I urge everyone to see it when/if it screens in your area.
COOP offered up an extremely excellent mix on his blog earlier today. I heartily enjoyed getting down with my bad commuter self this evening.
After a lot of hearing about the iPhone price drop the past two days, I'm happy to learn that Steve Jobs is doing the right thing by giving us early adopters a rebate. We can all breathe just a bit more. Who doesn't love an open letter?
For the cynic in us all, there's a touch of paranoia snark here and here that this is somehow masking a larger problem, or not really fixing the new one created by the price drop. As an early adopter myself, I'm thinking I can at least reappropriate some of the hardworking clusterflocker's dough somewhere else in the apple stock. I'm taking suggestions.

Rule number 3- Family love is not friendship love (sorry, DJ and Uncle Jesse)
