Fight Club deconstructed into status updates by...

Twitter Theater - Fight Club Fight Club deconstructed into status updates by its main characters, looped continuously on Twitter. Follow all the characters to catch the full dialog or tune into your favorites for choicer bits. The updates fire once per minute, so the actual film takes about 26 hours to run it's course. The Fight Club Meta-User on twitter follows all the characters, and is probably a good starting point.

New Mean (excerpt)

Excerpt from a live performance at AS220 in Providence, RI, by Flavour, which is Billy Gomberg and casconed (me). the sounds are entirely from circuit-bent children's toys.

Fine, i'll bite - 55526. First of all, I don't think some lame newsfilter post about another idiot soldier dying in a pointless war deserves to be in the blue. Quite apart from that, i DEFINITELY don't think some half-assed tribute, in the form of a PERIOD, is a worthy title for an FPP. Memorialize this crap elsewhere, I say, and stop tying up the front page with your idiot posts.

Can you help me find my mouse in Photoshop?

OS X Photoshop weirdness - The cursor disappears when the mouse is inside the bounds of the currently open image.

How to Beach BBQ?

I would like to grill out on the beach (Newport Beach, CA) in city-provided fire pits. AFAIK, these pits are just concrete rings with sand in them. How should I start the charcoal?

I don't want this to be a callout, but I'm wondering if the language in this post is appropriate for an FPP. It reads a bit like an email forward.

Treating depression with ketamine

Ketamine has been found to "significantly" improve symptoms of depression by influencing glutamate levels in the brain. A Forbes article notes that 70% of patients say improvement, and up to 29% were "nearly symptom free within one day". However, research into the effects of ketamine on depression is not exactly new.

Why was this post deleted? The asker seemed like he had a legitimate question, and some interesting answers were surfacing.

Help me find a vaguely-described book.

I read a book when I was 12 or 13 about a boy who may have been living in Wales. The only things I remember about the book are that it involved aliens, cairns (as grave markers?) and that it scared the heck out of me. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

Ba ba ba ba bird flu!

The "Bird flu dance" is "sweeping" Africa. Or at least the Ivory Coast. DJ Lewis created the dance (youtube warning) which was described in the BBC article as being "like a chicken with Parkinson's disease trying to dance to hip-hop". There are examples all over youtube (warning: here be lofi youtube videos).

Everything is illuminated

Flashaholics are self-identified flashlight enthusiasts. The hobbyist community is big in Japan, and has a seedy underbelly as well.
