Nuggets

What I would want my gadget bag to look like if I was a real cool geek and not just a poseur [via Anil]. Also found on Gizmodo, breakdancing transformers. [nitpick]Is it just me or are they not on beat though? [/nitpick]

Is anybody else who uses site updater alerts just not getting them? I mean, that's the whole point. Can someone recommend something else besides Kinja?

A nice elegy to Frasier at Knot Mag.

Black women can write about being young, shallow, love-obsessed and semi-alcoholic in the city too. No kidding. *Off to dust off my story ideas* But, first I'm reading this pretty interesting book review about the hard relationship of women and following ambitions. [both via Ms. Musings]

Welcome Cosby contrarianism 'neath the Gateway Arch [via P6]

Drinking masterclass syllabus over at Tomato Nation:

WEEK TWO -- Common Pitfalls
Fruity drinks that disguise the taste of alcohol. Drinks with fruit in them that send the alcohol directly into your bloodstream. Champagne on an empty stomach. Gulping martinis to "get them over with" because they taste disgusting, thereby killing the brain cell that holds your name and address. The skunked pint which, because you don't want to "bother" the bartender, you drink anyway instead of asking for a repour, even though it smells faintly of fish. Giving in to round-of-shots peer pressure. Correct timing of bong hits. Benefits of just going home already when the keg is tapped instead of stupidly switching to bourbon at one in the morning.

It's the same problem as kinja: a little too public. I want something where I can get a little email or IM when my fave blogs get updated.
