Modern Hack: What I Will Tell My Daughter About Why I Am A Democrat:

Early next year, my wife is going to give birth to my first child — a daughter. She will come into this world shortly after the next presidential term begins — and I believe the world will be very different for women like her, should Mitt Romney take a last-second lead. This campaign season…

When I was in college, I drew a daily comic strip in the school paper. This was a dangerous activity. The developing political worldviews of the campus community, and the realization that you can be offended by things — and even gather similarly-offended people to shut those things down! —…

I'm afraid to ask.

1910’s-era movie theater etiquette Public Service Announcements (via 1,2)

Most early movie theaters had only one projector so “etiquette slides” were used to divert the audience while reels were being changed. These glass slides often featured lighthearted instructions for proper behavior while viewing a film.

I love these!

The Websites I Waste The Most Time On

Thu, 27 Oct 2011 17:23:00 -0700

This is for those who have asked where I shop for clothes.

Mod Cloth: They have a huge variety of dresses! The stuff can be a little pricey for the quality, but sales happen regularly. http://www.modcloth.com/

Ruche: This is Anthropologie cheap! They also have a great selection of shoes. http://www.shopruche.com/

Shabby Apple: A pricey retro look, but the quality is great. I wish I could afford to stock my whole wardrobe with clothes from here. Join the mailing list for weekly discounts. http://www.shabbyapple.com/

Plasticland: The housewares stuff is super cute. The clothes are a little stumpunk slutty, but I did buy my favorite pair of Maryjane shoes from this site. http://www.shopplasticland.com/

Friday Night Lights

Fri, 15 Jul 2011 17:14:08 -0700

Friday Night Lights:

I’ve been going through Friday Night Lights. It is a beautiful show! I really wished I had watched it when it was on the air. This list from buzzfeed has some great moments. Number 9 is one of the best pieces of acting and writing that I’ve seen in a long time. If you watch anything this year, please watch this show. It’s on Netflix Instant.

Netflix Rate Change

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 19:07:30 -0700

So like everyone else I’m peeved about the rate jump that Netflix will be adding. I use instant and get disks in the mail. Yes, it sucks that it jumped up 62%. That is a lot of money. What I don’t understand is how some people are acting like Netflix is a basic God-given right that should be close to free or free. Netflix is a service that costs money. If I want to watch White Chicks ironically or a BBC TV show at 3am I should pay for it. The people at Netflix have to buy the rights to show the movies and TV shows. I bet those are expensive.

The thing about the rate hike that does bug me is I don’t think there will be any changes to the instant service. If I am paying more I would like more instant choices and more current television choices. Also access to special features on DVDs. Actually I don’t really care about special features on DVDs, but my dad loves them. So that is my complaint.

People make stuff-you should pay for it.
