And in this video, a lamb tries to find its owner.
Key takeaway: you can have a lamb as a pet. Yes, please.

Photos of the High Line, as it was being built and when it hosted train traffic. (Now, of course, it's an elevated park.)

I've decided to become the guy who's always talking about what he saw on "Lopez" last night. If I can handle all the new followers.

Our local pizza joint is a bad employer. Not surprised, since their beers are $7 and served in a 4-pound mug.

Geek worlds overlap as someone identifies the hex color values of various star types.
Interesting to consider that red stars are cooler than blue. Our assignment of the symbolic temperature of colors is based only on the associations we have with objects of those colors: ice, fire.

AnyClip purports to be an index of any quote from any actor in any movie - but didn't recognize my simple request for Jimmy Stewart talking about Reader's Digest in Rear Window. For shame!

AnyClip steps up to the plate, letting me know via Twitter that the scene was indexed.
Still no video, but nicely done anyway.

A look at the long-passed websites of long-ago campaigns. If you consider 2000 - 2008 long ago.

Just completed the fourth Census in which I've been counted. Couldn't wait to fill it out given that Bob Balaban wanted me to and Michele Bachmann didn't. Love the idea that this cements my status in American history, however insignificantly.
Not going to be included in the 2010 Census: the woman on the 4th floor of our building who died a few hours ago - and who the coroner still hasn't come to collect.

1) Apparently she died this weekend.
2) Still no pick-up, though we're certainly glad we live by the elevator on the first floor.

Mashable plugs a conceptual location-based volunteerism system. How can you build this to a sufficient saturation?

"Volunteerism" is now a trending topic on Twitter. There's certainly demand out there.

I may be missing something, but is Twitter's new @anywhere system just a click-to-follow, click-to-retweet tool?
If so, not exciting - something that is overdue, not so much innovative.
