My dear, beloved, kick-ass friends were married today. I have no words to describe how happy I am for them, and how absolutely BEAUTIFUL they look.

Having it large - Times Online

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:31:33 +0100

Ah, those size-zero ladies, with their sternums and clavicles and harshly sweeping cheekbones and big, big vulnerable eyes and sharply delineated wrists (set off to perfection by an oversized man’s watch and a clutch of chunky bracelets) — they were fun for a while, in a car-crashy kind of way, weren’t they? All that gossip and bitchery. But they weren’t very ... sexy. You couldn’t imagine shoving Nicole Richie up against a wall and doing naughty things to her, could you? She would break. Nope, those skinny little wenches may be good at dangling Chanel handbags from delicate fingers, but they don’t do so well at inspiring lasciviousness, awe and plain ol’ dirty thoughts. For that, you need a lady with some flesh on her bones. And I know just where to find one.

My Damn Channel: Laura Ingraham doesn't want you to come in her ear.

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 17:38:30 +0100

Laura Ingraham routinely losing her shit on her old show on Fox News "Just In". She seems super nice. I'd love to work with her.

Designersmind.com recently published its Seven Highly Effective Habits of Successful Freelancers. It’s a great piece and if you’re already a good freelancer you’ll be doing most of these instinctively *blows on nails, rubs them on lapel, looks modestly at ground*. However, the piece fails to mention a few other habits of successful freelancers, so we thought we’d go into them here. AMP minizine is proud to present: THE SEVEN (SLIGHTLY LESS PUBLICISED) HABITS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL FREELANCERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Six Apart - Blog - It's Computer Mania!

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:17:06 +0100

Since 2003, the Center for Women and IT has been throwing a half-day IT-love fest at UMBC to keep the minds of middle school girls open to careers in technology, and, unabashedly, the event's name is Computer Mania Day. This past weekend, CMD '08 invited over 800 Baltimore-area middle school girls to personally interview a virtual-anime-puppet, work with PhD students to learn about haptics, and create their own hot air balloons, among tons of other real-life workshops presented by women in the industry. Meanwhile, the girls' parents participated in their own informative sessions about the status of women in IT led by industry leaders and Maryland Public School officials.

A Remedy for Blogger Inferiority Complex

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Sun, 04 May 2008 23:20:02 +0100

Today I want to get a little more constructive and suggest a remedy for this common problem. In doing so I want to help those of us who struggle with a negative self view to make a mind-shift in our thinking.

Newsletter: Month Fifty and Fifty-one | dooce ®

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Sat, 03 May 2008 19:55:32 +0100

Tomorrow you turn fifty-one months old. If you are reading these in chronological order you will probably notice that the newsletter for month fifty has gone missing. Yeah, about that. Would you believe me if I told you Coco ate it? You'd have to because Coco eats everything. Just this week she ate both the arms and legs off the new Barbie doll that my mother gave you, and when I found her chewing those limbs I secretly hoped you wouldn't notice. But that's not what happened at all. You noticed immediately and were so enraged that YOU PULLED YOUR OWN HAIR. After several hours of wailing and head-butting the floor you walked up to me, put the legless and armless nub into my hands and said, "Grandmommy is going to be so mad at that dog." And you used a tone that suggested it was less of an observation and more of a warning that Coco might want to draw up a will.

The bosses used to monitor us on video from home, a Since You Asked column on Salon.com by Cary Tenn

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 13:10:50 +0100

I find myself running in circles, around and around inside my head. I just started a new job and I despise it. Everyone was so excited for me to start, believing it to be that much-longed-for next step in my career. I've spent so many years sliding from industry to industry, trying on this hat and that hat, hoping for something that will fit just so. All of this has been to no avail.

Viv Groskop reports on the boom in women's websites | Media | The Guardian

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:53:28 +0000

In the US earlier this month, a group of women announced that they were launching a website for women over 40, called wowowow.com (a play on "women on the web" — an address that, tellingly, they had to buy from a porn site). There can be no doubt about the power of these women. The five founders include Joni Evans, former president of the publishing house Simon & Schuster, and Peggy Noonan, a columnist and former presidential speechwriter. There can also be no mistaking how serious they are about making the site a success. Each founder has contributed $200,000 (£100,000) , they have hired five full-time, web-savvy members of staff , and bloggers on the site include Lily Tomlin, Whoopi Goldberg and Candice Bergen.

The funniest blog post I've read in a long time, courtesy of Finslippy: The worst that could happen

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 12:26:03 +0000

1. I am driving on the highway and start to panic. The force of my panic is so great that it causes my car to lift into the air. Looking around me, I see that the other cars are also levitating. Now that our cars are in the air, none of us have any control over our direction or speed, and we hurtle higher and higher skyward, smashing into each other repeatedly. As we leave the earth’s atmosphere, I can hear the other drivers screaming, "Why, Alice, why?" before we all blow up.

They feel guilty and sad that poor people shop at Wal*Mart instead of Whole Foods, that they vote Republican instead of Democratic, that they go to Community College/get a job instead of studying art at a University.

Barack Obama has been criticized for plagiarizing a speech during a campaign stop this past weekend and not being upfront about it.The similarities between the Democratic presidential hopeful and a speech made by by Deval Patrick, the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts, back in October 2006 are striking.Barack blatantly copied several lines and linguistic speech patterns from Deval's "Just Words" speech for Obama's own "Words Matter" speech in Wisconsin.Click here to check out a side by side comparison of both speeches!

Online dating: A very modern matchmaker - Telegraph

nobody@vox.com(CupCate) — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:57:04 +0000

Online romances used to conjure up the image of sad types huddled over their keyboards creating buff alter egos with which to woo a potential mate. Now, in this age of social networking, online dating has lost some of its stigma, leading more than 22 million people to visit dating websites in 2007, according to the internet monitoring firm comScore.
