Page 1 Consider (06/15)


  • Shit to the Beat: I'm starting to think this iPod mentality has gone a little too far. (MacDaily)

  • What the hell are you talking about? An interior designer explains the evolution of kitchen designing: “The idea of what constitutes a family is changing,” said Chris Sanderson, and so kitchens have to transform themselves into very flexible spaces to deal with a changing cast of characters. “You’ve got starter marriages, and then divorces that maybe aren’t as acrimonious as they used to be. You’re adults, you’re behaving better and getting along better. So we’re looking at beanpole families: his kids, your kids, the exes. There are a lot of people who might be gathering around a table. Throw all the technology into the mix, and you’re starting to really change the dynamic of how you use that kitchen.” Huh? (NYT)

  • Depends what you mean by 'premature': After his surprise visit to Iraq, President Bush warned the American public against a "premature pullout of troops" from the warn-torn country. How can something be premature that would be happening years after it was supposed to in the first place? (WP)

  • What a (Not So Great) Feeling: The maniac whose life inspired the 1983 box office smash "Flashdance" has lost another court bid to gain a copyright interest in the film, which has grossed more than $150 million domestically. (AP)

  • Urban Garden: I love how Daryl Hannah & Co. have used and manipulated the media to portray Ralph Horowitz as "greedy Jew developer" for wanting to use his land for the purposes he sees fit. These "urban farmers" are on the land illegally and have no right to tell him what he can or can't do with his property. Get off and get lost. (MercuryNews)

  • Micro-suction: Do these knees make me look fat? (NYT)

  • Life on the H-ilarious List: OK, I admit it. I spoke of Kathy Griffin's demise very prematurely. The current season of "My Life on the D-List" is the funniest she's ever been. If you missed this week's episode where she had a guy who won a weekend at her house on eBay on the show, then you've got to read what she wrote about it on her blog . Hilarious! (Kathy's blog)

  • Coppers Top 'Duracell': The main suspect in an attack on my friend Dick Jefferson and his pal Ryan Smith that left the victims with serious head injuries has surrendered to authorities in St. Martin, the chief prosecutor said Tuesday. The man -- identified only by his nickname, "Duracell" -- was arrested Monday after turning himself in, becoming the fourth person detained for the beatings on St. Martin, the Caribbean island’s Dutch side. He is accused of striking the victims with a tire iron, said Taco Stein, chief prosecutor. (Edge)

  • Slim Pickings: When Ryan Seacrest and Taylor Hicks are at the top of People magazine's list of Most Eligible Bachelors, you know it's sad state of affairs for the boys ladies. (AP)

    It's comforting to know that even Brazilian women suffer from PUV (puffy upper vagina).
