    • We Can Be Heroes As businesses in Seattle closed their doors, many storefronts nailed plywood over their windows – but it created the feeling of a ghost town. So artists came together to create something beautiful and uplifting, turning these wooden coverings into murals. ➡
    • How are you holding up today? This moment has laid bare the extent to which 'How are you?' is a mere pleasantry and not an honest inquiry in search of an honest answer. ➡

    • Aahhh, springtime in Ellensburg! Walking along, hair blowing in the wind…oh. Huh. Nevermind. (119/366) ➡

    • Violence Never Solves Anything? Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms. ➡

    • Birthday Bits So I turn 36 on Sunday. Pretty sure I can still claim 'mid-30's' at this point, though I'm getting perilously close to the 'late-30's.' Upcoming or recent birthday-related bits follow. ➡

    • iTunes/www.applemusic.com Excellent work, all around. As far as I'm concerned, all of the whiners at MeFi and /. can jump off a cliff — Apple's got a good thing going here. The only downside I can see is that to take advantage of AAC's smaller file sizes, I've got about 1500 CD's to rip all over again… ➡
    • Apple turns up the volume Well, today was the day that Apple finally made the announcments that rumor sites had been salivating over for the past few months. Lots of cool goodies… ➡
    • Teach backwards! It's hard for kids to get interested in century old debates without knowing all the context around them, but they might very well be interested in current day events. So why not start now and explain the events that got us here? War on terrorism? Sure, let's teach it, and that leads us backward to a discussion of how the current state of affairs is the successor to the bipolar world that came apart in 1989. And that leads back to the Cold War, and that leads back to World War II, etc. ➡
