An Iranian man who decided to get a tattoo where the sun don’t shine seems to have found himself with a permanent side effect. I’m sure, when the novelty wears off, he’ll wish he had gone the temporary route.
This video make a good case for doing so.

From the obviously talented Teresa Wozniak comes this beautiful New Year’s Resolutions chart. Now, if my intended tidbits of self-improvement were laid out in such a beautiful way, perhaps I’d still be paying attention to them come July. (Although, I did already accomplished one of Teresa’s resolutions a couple months ago.)
Good luck, Teresa! And when you figure out how to make things more fun, please share!
Sometimes made up words are the best!
The hubby and I were talking the other day, with another friend, about New Year resolutions. My sexy ball-and-chain said something that really resonated with me, “I don’t believe in resolutions. Either do it or don’t. But don’t wait until Jan. 1 to do it, and don’t talk about it, just start doing it.”
In the spirit of just starting to do it, I bring you Gabe Imlay’s ditto, an endeavor to record a song (almost) every day. So if you like music, especially electric guitar, give ditto a listen, every day or so. After all, it’s free, new music that, as Gabe points out, would cost like 35-cents in iTunes. So far his Electro Boogie is proving to be an inspiring soundtrack to today’s askpiper post.
I stumbled upon this great new site called cowbird. They describe themselves as “a small community of storytellers, sharing heartfelt, personal stories, encouraging a deeper, longer-lasting kind of self-expression than you’re likely to find anywhere else on the web.” A tall order…but I think they can do it!
I joined and wrote a story about my dog, Roy. You can check it out here.
Nicholas D. Kristof of the NYTimes surprises one (or sometimes a few) lucky individuals every year with a trip. This year just one lucky university student will win. You’ll travel with him and need to be capable of blogging about what you experience.
Le sigh, if only I were still in school. I’d love it if he took me to Africa to visit with some elephants. Anyway, if you want to go for it, you’ll find all the deets here.
