Re: Where Josephine Baker Grew Up

Also, given the particulars of her profession I doubt city leaders would have been rushing to preserve her childhood home, especially a couple decades before the HBO series.

She was born at the hospital that was at where sublette park is now. It was a hospital for prostitutes and "women in trouble." The area directly to the west and south of there were the "poor houses."

Baker described herself as a street child in the slums of St. Louis who regularly scavenged food from the garbage. She was the illegitimate daughter of an unidentified white man and a mother who grew up as the adopted daughter of former slaves in Arkansas.

Given what I know of St. Louis and their social class, I just can't imagine that Bernard street looked like something worth preserving back then.

I don't know about boingboing's implementation, but on my wordpress site, the disqus system writes the comments back into wordpress to use in case disqus is down or other apocalyptic incidents have occurred.

That's cool - I just installed it. Hopefully it will help coax me out of using chrome all the time. I feel strangely guilty for that since firefox aligns a lot more closely with my philosophy of how the web should work.

I'll never forget the night we met. I had just stumbled into that biker bar when the thunderstorm forced me from the road. I sidled up to the bar and ordered a fuzzy navel with a squeeze of lime. The bar grew silent as the foggy brains of the leather clad bikers tried to wrap around the idea of a man ordering such a froo-froo drink in their greasy, smokey dive. I swallowed hard and dropped my eyes to the bar.

"Give the man his drink." Your voice pierced the uncomfortable silence that hung low in the air like a wet tarp. "Graphic.ly."

"What?" the bartend asked.

"I said, give him his drink." You spat while looking up from your own. "You gotta a problem with that?"

The bartender stepped back. "No, the other part. Grapho-something."

"Graphic.ly - I said graphic.ly. I always try to work it in to my opening."

The bartender swallowed hard. "I ain't never heard of no graphic.ly. Are you not from round these parts?"

"Depends. People still read comics in these parts?"

"You mean the funny papers? Nobody but jessie over there." He nodded at a stooped lump at the end of the bar. The man looked like a mat of greasy hair clutching a tattered copy of a Scrooge McDuck comic book.

"I'm not surprised." You muttered. "You walk around town with a book like that, people are going talk about you, not to you. You guys got ipads?"

"You mean the angry bird machine?" A burly fellow asked, eagerly pulling his from his duffel bag.

"Yeah, but there's more to that thing than just throwing avian projectiles around. Why don't you click around a bit and find graphic.ly. You can read your comics and talk about them, instead of..." you looked over at Jessie, who was now nervously gnawing on the corner of his duck book. "... well, you can get a lot more out of them than just some extra fiber."

The biker poked roughly at his screen. "Stranger, this is nice. I ain't never thought..." he looked up and you were gone. He looked over at me, "get that man another fizzy nozzle." He said to the barkeep with a wink, "I've got some readin' to do."

If exercising your freedom of speech breaks a law, it's the law's problem, not yours.

Given that no one understands how to work the roundabouts by the zoo after a full year, I'm sure this will be a death trap.

So a long pleasant and satisfying life vs. a short, painful lonely life? Is that really a choice?

Re: Revelations of the Oven Thermometer

Lance Kidwell — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 19:54:10 -0000

After I read this I decided to buy an oven thermometer, as the oven in my new house tends to burn everything.

I set the oven at 300 - ten minutes later the thermometer read well over 650 degrees.

I think that's a problem.

At the "warm" setting it hovers around 400 degrees.
