I don't even have a TV*, but the advertising and word-of-mouth is sufficiently pervasive that I still know it's Shark Week on Discovery, so there was no way I could lose the opportunity to post with this userpic.

And as long as I'm at it, here's a few excellent links:

• Amazing sculptor whose medium is pencil tips. It's kind of mind-blowing.

• The Manhattan borough president, who, like a typical New Yorker, does not leave the city for anything, will marry in Connecticut due to NY not yet recognizing same-sex marriage.

• My friend (and former co-star) 28bytes was in the paper for the release of his new awesome game for the Atari 2600: Duck Attack! (Yes, Atari 2600. Check it out!)

• Old, but I've had it open in a tab for over a year, I think. One of my favorite Onion bits ever, particularly of amusement if you're a fellow puzzler.

• Tear-inducing story from Children's Hospital about treating transgenders kids, and one kid's story in particular.

[* ETA: Just to be clear, since too many people I know believe it somehow elevates them, the fact that I don't have a TV in no way makes me better than you. It's just a random factoid that had relevance there. The things that make me better than you are of far greater substance.]

I didn't realize you had lost or given away or sold your TV, as I recall watching either election returns or the Red Sox at your place within the last couple years.

(I bet if you think back you'll recall exactly where her television has ended up for the time being, cause if I remember correctly, you helped relocate it)
