  Common Errors in English

  03.23.08 | Permalink | Comment?

  Here’s a great site — Common Errors in English — with an accompanying book by the same title. It is great; covers all of the biggies that drive me up a wall, like the oh-so common I/me gaffe, there/they’re/their, it/it’s, and a lot/alot more!
  But the thing that really made me sit up and pay attention […]

  BECAUSE I SAID SO

  08.26.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Another neat find from Neatorama; BECAUSE I SAID SO. A mom’s blog expressing the frustrations of child rearing (suppose that term was coined by the spankings that are applied when said children misbehave?)
  The blog is very well written, and unlike a lot of blogs, is very unassuming and innocent in what is posted. Most […]

  Should Do This

  08.26.07 | Permalink | Comment?

  Just bumped into ShouldDoThis.com this morning (thanks to a link on Neatorama). Think of it as a suggestion box for everything. Some suggestions are serious, some not; some are helpful, some naughty… But most are fun to read.

  3000 Faces

  3000 Faces - New York Times
  Not sure how long this will be online, but it’s a great graphic showing stats on the casualties in the Iraq war, from March 16, 2003 to the present. Among the more interesting tidbits is the percentage of Air Force personnel lost in combat (1%). Good proof of what I’ve […]

  Evil Flash Games

  12.30.06 | Permalink | Comment?

  There are thousands of addictive flash games out there. Lots of them remind me of the old classic arcade games, like Asteroids, PacMan, Galaga, etc… (if only I could have all the quarters back that I wasted on those games, with interest. I could probably retire!)
  A couple of days ago, Deane posted about another one […]

  The Human Marvels

  09.17.06 | Permalink | Comments Off

  The Human Marvels really doesn’t describe this site accurately; something more along the lines of Human Oddities would be closer to the mark. Basically a collection of stories about sideshow freaks and people born with bizarre physical deformities, how they dealt with being different, and how people treated them. Very interesting reading.

  Neatorama.
  Not much more to say than that; just a collection of neat stuff found on the Internet. Kinda like BoingBoing without the scuzz and left wing political rhetoric.

Welcome to davintosh. I write about anything that strikes my fancy; no guarantee that you'll find it interesting, or that you'll agree with me, or that you'll be entertained. Not that I don't care. I just don't read minds. It'd be great if you'd leave a comment to let me know you were here.
