Favorite Williams Professor, Michael Lewis, on visual images in a verbal culture
This makes me wish I were back at Williams this fall. Sigh… growing up is harder than I thought.

American Girl dolls, Ambiguously Gay duo, NYP Headlines, a book I desperately want, and more
Fun things discovered this week:
- SNL did a live action version of the Ambiguously Gay duo and Jon Hamm proves that he’s perfect even in tights…
- Great personality analysis based on what American Girl doll you owned. I had Molly (b/c my penpal’s name was Molly), and apparently: “As an adult, you’ve developed a carefully honed aptitude for sarcasm. You’ve gotten contacts, and a slightly edgy haircut. You still sort of want attention, but you deny it.”
- Some of my friends clearly don’t know me very well…
- I just adore NY Post headlines…
- My birthday is in 2.5 months so if you’re looking for a gift, may I recommend (via Neatorama):
- Kind of captivated by these images of athletic show rabbits:
- Australian comedians attempt to create an offline social network (via BuzzFeed):

Great women writers, incredible gamer/avatar comparison shots, summer movie posters, infographics, and more…
Some faves from the past few days:
- The unaired Tina Fey “Great Women Writers Throughout History” sketch is pretty awesome. The fact that the line “Agatha Christie? I’ll tell you ‘whodunit?’ – NOBODY!” never went on television is heartbreaking.
- A photographer compiled these comparison shots of gamers with their avatars. The similarities and differences are equally fascinating.
- Very helpful infographic from Fast Company informs you where to live to avoid natural disasters.
- You’ve already seen it at this point, but the Shit My Students Write tumblr is even more amusing than Ellie just sharing notes her kids email to her with me.
- Summer movie posters redone to be a bit more honest. Here’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II:
- Absolutely incredible NYT correction (via Gothamist):

Two different things making me feel old, 30 Rock, doll collectors, Friendster classics, and more…
Some of my favorite things on the interwebs this week:
- NYMag put together a list of 100 thoughts on 30 Rock in honor of its 100th episode. Of course Alec Baldwin is wearing a tuxedo after 6… what is he, a farmer?
- People who collect Barbies look EXACTLY like the people I would guess collect Barbies.
- Casa Nonna (my fave regular spot in DC) released the recipe for its meatball panini. Yum!
- Friendster is dying and Gawker collected some all-star stories.
- If you saw last week’s Parks & Rec, you’ll love TomHaverfoods.com
- This photo of tulip fields in the Netherlands is just too too beautiful (via That Andy Cohen)
- From XKCD, it’s a movie guide to making other people feel old. It also made me feel old… le sigh.
- Speaking of feeling old, I have my 10 year high school this weekend. I LOVE going back to Baldwin.
- Finally, Kelly is getting married, so here’s a special pre-wedding message to her:
