27: Bigger than a breadbox
Awesome!
You know, we had a bit of a Wii-breakthrough, and I thought about updating my WiiFit comment in the original post, but maybe I'll throw it in here. After being totally demoralized by the WiiFit's casual frankness in regards to his physique, my 5 year old has come around and has started to play a few things. He does the yoga, a few strength moves, and especially loves the running (mostly because if you run really fast, you can make your Mii trip). He's kind of... [more]

Of making many books
This is a great list!
Paduasoy, thanks so much for your kind words about Mother Shock. And headspace is right, The Daring Book for Girls came out last fall in the US, though the UK edition was just released this week. (And, in fact, former Mefite Jenny Diski penned the UK book's review for the Sunday Times.)
There are two others forthcoming: The Pocket Daring Book for Girls: Things to Do (May 2008) and The Pocket Daring Book... [more]

Philly. Bowling. Me. You?
I have yet to actually make it to a Philly meetup, but North Bowl is awesome. The bowling is fun, but the lane-side drinks and tater tots rock.

ALA Midwinter/Philly Meetup
Ooooh -- I would love it if this happened! I don't know that I'd be able to make it, but I'd sure try! Anything Center City would be excellent.

So, did you survive eating the sandwich?
The high school newspaper students were sufficiently schooled in Quark tips and now have a much cleaner-looking layout for their paper.
The discussion of books that changed your life as a girl helped inform a chapter of The Daring Book For Girls titled "Books That Will Change Your Life" (and also generated a shout-out to Metafilter and the women of Ask Metafilter in the book's acknowledgments).... [more]

Are you there MeFi? It's Me, K8t.
If someone can post an alternate list of MeFi-themed versions of all these titles (Are You There, Mods? It's Me, Margaret; Gone With The Triple Post; etc.) AND if Cortex can then whip them up into a tuneful ditty, THEN as the original poster I would be honored to have the thread in the sidebar. In the meanwhile, I'm just super-grateful for those of you who chimed in about books that meant something to you when you were young. (I am definitely including a... [more]

Do we need to find a special code for stating...
Us boys are dumb about girlstuff. We're not girls. Because of our culture, we're rarely exposed to anything truly feminine. Television advertisements for feminine products speak in fluffy-bunny code that reveals nothing to us, and frankly willfully furthers many myths and mysteries.
Guess what: "because of our culture," we gals are exposed to the same stuff as you! Those television advertisements using "fluffy-bunny code" revealing... [more]
