We love lasagna. But my white sauce mixes with my red sauce and it all ends up looking pink.

I love mayonnaise. I just
loooooooove mayonnaise. I love it on burgers, on sandwiches, and in deviled eggs. I love it in tuna salad, egg salad, and potato salad. I
may have, on occasion, eaten it by itself, but I admit nothing. But what other dishes highlight the diversity and deliciousness of mayonnaise? What can I do to up my mayonnaise quotient? What are your favorite mayonnaise recipes? Is there such a thing as gourmet mayonnaise? Can I find high-class, fancy mayonnaise created by mayonnaise connoissiers? I want to expand my mayonnaise horizons!

Thinking of Joe Cocker's great cover of the Beatles'
"With a Little Help From My Friends", I started wondering: what other cover versions have actually changed the
time signature of the original?

Do you like Berlin? The hippest city on the planet has some interesting video blogs. My personal favorite is
First We Take Berlin which is pretty off-beat and covers a lot of not so hip areas of the city. In their current episode they go to the annual may riots in Kreuzberg (after a weird little mouse story). Then there is
Mayda3000 which is the longest running video blog about Berlin.
Watch Berlin is a sort of compilation of many different video blogs most of which are in german but there are some are in english as well. And last but not least there's
Verbundstoff which is in german only and takes a look at the very underground Berlin electronic music scene.

Can you recommend a hosted CRM system that lets me create a new contact by forwarding an email to a drop box? I'm using Highrise and looking for a replacement.

Help me identify this Post Modern cultural theory. Prime example: cops on the TV show COPS act differently than they normally would, since they're being filmed for TV. Kids watch COPS thinking that's what cops actually are like. Kids eventually grow up and be cops themselves, emulating cops-on-TV, not "true" cops.

The Rather Difficult Font Quiz
Do you know your Birch from your Bembo from your Bauer Bodini (Hey! Where's Bookman?) At the moment, 34 fonts to identify with more coming soon. A fun way to spend 2-3 minutes and learn just how much a font nerd you really are. (I only got 25 out of 34? I'm ashamed!)

A couple years ago, The Inquirer noticed that the same college student was endorsing competitors Dell and Gateway. Readers started mailing examples of her selling UPS, Hewlett-Packard, Siemens, Ford, Siemens, CNN, Greyhound, and
quite a few others. After being dubbed The Dell Girl, she was promoted to The Everywhere Girl. People
critized her shallow commitments to the universities she endorsed. Nonstop appearances across most of the western world
must have been fatiguing. She's even in
high demand among Christian and textbook publishers.

How can I infuse bacon flavor into vodka? The product doesn't need to be vegan or kosher or anything special---just want to go into a kitchen and whip up some bacon-flavored vodka.

Chinese MC Hammer.
Move for move nearly perfect redo of the original Hammer video. In someone's living room. While mom knits on the couch. It's a thousand kinds of awesome.
