The "Math-ter and Commander" drawing appears on a site providing a template for teaching portfolios.

An Italian blog uses the coffee beans photo.

Side by side with The Mythbusters... on this science blog post, anyway.

More Mentos mayhem on a roleplaying game blog.

Crap, so much happened. Uh, moved to India, dated an Indian girl, came back, left my job, got a new one, start soon. Got another Bengal kitty named Courage. Those two videos are great. Lights is underappreciated and Marco Parisi does the most beautiful cover of "In Your Atmosphere / Wherever you go" I've ever heard. Incredible talent.

More later...

Dad hears his son talk to his rabbit.

- Well the teacher told us that rabits can multiply really fast. But mine can't even add up!

May 23, 2012 - The official LiveJournal Release 92 has been deployed. Here’s what you’ll find in this latest site update:

NEW
  • Particularly long comment threads now collapse with the alert “...and [#] more comments.” Just click on that alert to see the rest of the comments. Here’s what this looks like:

  • Notification emails now hide any content that was already placed inside an lj-cut instead of displaying the entire entry.

  • Social Capital is now displayed for all communities on the profile page.

  • You can now embed the Spotify player into your journal or community style.

  • Personal userheads are now available for purchase. A personal userhead is of your own design and is unique to you, unavailable to anyone else. Purchase as many personal userheads as you like; each costs 5,000 LJ FunBux™, and is good for five years. Learn more.

BUGS, FIXED
  • Scheduled entries should no longer return errors or double-post.

  • Domain mapping should no longer force redirection to the LiveJournal login page.

  • The format=light URL modifier works on entry pages again.

  • Comment notification emails will send even if the entry has a poll.

  • The "Music" section on the edit entries page will let you delete the entire text field.

  • The help link next to “Do not add to friends pages and RSS” on the update page now links to the correct FAQ.

  • The list of journals and communities added by default for new users has changed to [info]news and [info]lj_releases for non-Cyrillic users.

  • Missing navigation items in the Classic journal style have re-appeared.

  • Notifications about expiring add-ons will now have correct subject lines.

  • The bold/italic/strikethrough buttons in the site default commenting scheme should no longer cause cursor positioning problems in Chrome.

  • The Calendar feature will now update properly when you edit an entry and change its date.

PLANNED PARENTHOOD: HELP WITH A VGIFT!
Join us in standing up for reproductive health and education. Through the end of the month, you can send a specially designed Planned Parenthood vgift to your LiveJournal friends to help support this cause. (And if you need someone to send it to [info]frank is always happy to receive gifts!). There are three variations for you to choose from ($1, $5 and $10), but they’d all look good on your profile. Thank you for your support! Learn more.

Getting Gay With Kids

The "legitimate" news world is abuzz today over rumors that a DC comics character will soon be revealed to be homosexual. Speculation abounds as to which character it might be. I shall add to the furor with my own prediction.

Think about comic book fans for a moment, and "superhero" comics fans in particular. We're all familiar with the stereotype. There's a reason for that stereotype: it's largely true!
So, what sort of gay relationship will appeal to single guys with limited social lives who spend as much time as they can living in a world of fantasy? What sorts of gay relationships do guys like this fantasize about? Most importantly, how can DC use a gay relationship to drive sales?

I think the answer is obvious as to the most likely gay superhero candidate:
