Cereality® →
We need a DC area location!!!
Cereality® is more than a place to get cereal. It’s a new way of thinking about cereal. A new choice in fast food. And an idea whose time has come.
At Cereality, customers choose from their favorite brands and toppings. Pajama-clad Cereologists™ fill the orders. And customers choose and add their own milk, just the way they like it.
If you are interested in...

Your Dream Job

OK, let’s go on one of those reblogging sprees where you fill in the answers and shit.
Here we go: What’s your dream job? Why do you want this job? What would you do at this job?
Personally, I’d like to DJ full time and professionally in the UK. It’s something I’m still interested in after 7 years or so and I love to part, so it makes sense. I just want to...

Bubble Tea
bijan:
There is place just a down the street from my office that sells bubble tea. I love it and there are days that I literally crave it. Especially in the summer.
This afternoon was no different. So I added this tweet at the time.
I got a few @replies with some loving them and others not familiar. Then an hour ago, I noticed Greg Pass from Twitter wanting one as well.
So I decided to...

The anti-Radiohead movement grows
dawnowar:
kayfabe:
I hate Radiohead. There. I said it.
I like the idea they want to try a new distribution method for their music but that doesn’t make me want to listen to it either.
Same here. I admire the download and pay what you want idea. I hope this idea or something like it is adopted industry wide as a realistic way to move into the future of music distribution but Radiohead is too...

Uh, that's actually kinda of stalker-ish.
jackieheartsb:
Someone googled my name yesterday and spent 4 hours on 169 pages of my Tumblr site jaclynwile.com.
I find this alarming because, well, I’m not interesting enough for 4 hours of anyone’s time. Unless you’re a stalker, and then 4 hours just zips right by, doesn’t it?
This has happened to me a few times. Checking the IP on one, I figured it was an ex-empoyer. As long as their not...

Does anyone know about editing Wikipedia?
I recently added a link to the “vanity plates” page on Wikipedia titled, “Plate Show is a web show about life, vanity plates and the meanings behind them” (this is the show’s tagline). I was getting pretty steady traffic from it for a few weeks and, after noticing that was not happening anymore, I went to check the page and found that my link is no longer there.

Pax Fire →

Susan Corso
I was so tickled when Shawn Honnick of Plate Show, a web-based radio program about Vanity Plates, sent this photo snapped, I think, from his phone as he was driving. Virginia plates read:
PAXFIRE!
On fire for peace. Yes. Oh, yes.
Spiritually, the symbolism of fire is transformation, a special kind of transformation—spiritual transformation. Changing the status of...

I just wrote my representatives in Congress, asking them to stand up for better media in America. There is a bill in the House right now that would protect journalism, diversity, and competition. The Senate just approved a companion bill with near-unanimous support — a truly bipartisan effort. On Dec. 18, 2007, the Federal Communications Commission voted on sweeping changes to media...

Never Enough
plateshow:
In the early 90’s, I was working for Daymon Associates doing market research. I had been keenly observant of vanity plates for most of my life already, since my Dad used to figure them out on our drives back and forth from New York when I was a young kid. It was in this travel heavy job, that my constant vanity plate observations probably became much more thoughtful because I was on...
