When I was a kid I was riding my bike and I hit a rut in the road and fell off, scraping my elbows and knee up. I didn't see the rut and steer around it because I was READING A BOOK while riding my bike.
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

A reminder that the Paprika app rules.
It streamlines and catalogs recipes from the internet. You can rate ones you love, create shopping lists, scale portions, and more.
I've been using it for 5+ years and love having the digital equivalent of my granny's recipe box in my pocket at all times.

I'm in a virtual company meeting with audience participation: instead of the presenter reading their slides, they're having people in the breakout room read the slides out loud instead. This is going as well as you can imagine.

I've never seen The Sixth Sense or The Crying Game. I learned about the twists before I saw the movies, and that killed my enthusiasm for seeing them.
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?
I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

It's funded! Yay! But there are three moderate stretch goals to go, and they've already reached the first one. Can we get $4000 more in the next week for a digital soundtrack and a bonus scenario? #rpg

How many of PAD's Star Trek novels and comics did I read? As many as I could; he was one of my favorites. Best wishes to his family and loved ones.
Peter David's wife is reporting that he passed away last night.
A versatile writer of comics and prose who adapted well to many characters, he had been having severe health issues for a while.
I am glad that he was around, and wish the best to those who knew him.
