“I am freaked out”
Incredible story. (via @albertlewitinn)
Alright, I read this story yesterday,freaked out and imagined myself with locked-in syndrome for the rest of the day and didn’t get much work done.
TODAY, on the other hand, I started seeing rebuttals to the story pointing out that the man was not communicating on his own was most likely influenced by a facilitator.
The “facilitated communication” process consists of the “facilitator” actually holding the hand of the subject over the keyboard, moving the hand to the key, then drawing the hand back from the keyboard! This very intimate participatory action lends itself very easily to transferring the intended information to the computer screen.

Well I sure didn’t know that the Salvation army was a religious charity and organization. Not money for them from me.
Highlights:
Under “Homosexuality”
Scripture forbids sexual intimacy between members of the same sex. The Salvation Army believes, therefore, that Christians whose sexual orientation is primarily or exclusively same-sex are called upon to embrace celibacy as a way of life.
Under “Human Equality”
We oppose unlawful, unjust, or immoral discrimination and seek to promote sensitivity, understanding, and communication.
Under “Pornography”
Pornography promotes deviant sex and violence.
Under “Marriage”
Marriage is the only proper context for sexual intimacy. Scripture demands abstinence before, and faithfulness within, marriage.
I sell one basic web/HTML template on www.themeforest.com. It gets sold for $10 a pop, and I feel kinda like I devalue the design community for selling a template for so little.
On the other hand, I makes about $50 a month and when that drops into my account, I run off the liquor store and stock up on a couple bottle.
This month:
SUPERMODEL Kate Moss is reportedly ready to add a new string to her bow this year. Having fronted campaigns for the world’s most prestigious fashion houses, walked catwalks throughout the world, designed her own clothing range, pole-danced in a music video and graced countless magazine covers - including a staggering 27 appearances on British Vogue - she has decided to write her own cookbook.
Recipes include celery sticks, iceburg lettuce as a stand alone meal, lemon water, and so on.
Why season your food with sea salt when you could use coke?
Hilarious

I’ve lost all of my transaction history on Mint.com due to the Chase takeover of WaMu…Shit.
-Whine by Colin
I gotta say, I think this is a legitimate whine.
•••• If you are ever in our fair city (or if you live here and haven’t been to the original) you MUST visit this famous establishment. And you must have a-double-a-cheezeborger with grilled onions and lots of pickles. MUST. Go to Michigan avenue + the river, face the Wrigley building… on your right is a stairway going down to Lower Wacker. Bingo —Billy Goat. —BP
windycity:In honor of its 75th anniversary, Chicago’s Billy Goat Tavern will sell 75-cent cheezborgers and beer today. Details here.
I used to work directly above this place and still never went in for lunch. A little disappointing.
