While you were sleeping, from Berlin:
I predict a return to blogging as people discover the power of being able to finish a thought, and to link to another site without going through an intermediary.I'm not sure "return" is the right word, I think twitter will be gateway to people sharing more on-line (tumblr plays a similar role).

Wikipedia excerpt about Ze Frank's The Show:
Topics ranged from serious socio-political commentary to absurdist comedy and running gags. One such gag was to open episodes with outlandish skits, followed by the question "Are the new viewers gone yet?"
This is more or less how I feel about Twitter right now, except the new viewers aren't gone yet.

On Cooking
And it wouldn’t be surprising if, with a little exposure to the kitchen, Mrs. Obama took to cooking herself. Her progress could be our progress. After all, great cooking involves a blend of curiosity, determination and style, all traits she possesses. And with those arms, she could out-whisk anyone.
Wonderful op-ed from Amanda Hesser about the importance of cooking. Ed Levine agrees, but they share a common blindspot - why wouldn't Barack be the chef?
