in 85+ of the Best Twitterers Designers Should Follow on Mashable - The Social Media Guide
Joshua, in total agreement with you on your comment. Think I should post something to my blog, "The 1 list that has all the answers to everything you ever wanted to know" and have a link to a search engine. Cmon please.

Lists are sometimes helpful when looking for solutions to problems, but a list like this is nothing but a snapshot in time of someones taste. Not facts, but opinion.

Besides there are some key people not on this list, zeldman, eric meyer, etc.

Some of the "designers" listed here are not even good designers at all and made success at blogging. That's ok, but don't come and introduce them like the top notch designer.
I can also see that @tutorial9 is absent and it's quite better than a lot of all these twitterers.
The writer didn't even took care to certify that all accounts were working. @ilkeryoldas202 is not longer available (That page doesn't exist!) for example.
However, for the good or the bad these articles will always work. We have just left four comments :P
I love you anyway Mashable!

in The Courage of Parents on misc.joy
I am moved by this. I have 3 boys, 7yrs, 5yrs, and 2 yrs—and I feel for the family. I work hard at being present to the joy they bring to life every day.

I have been and still am an organ donor. I hope others see what they leave behind can do to help those in need.

My heartfelt sympathies to the family and admiration for their decision in helping people.

in Movies, Television, and Children on misc.joy
Kenley,

What a great post. I think about the exposure of my kids to all forms of media too. We do have a television, but we do not have cable/satellite. They only have DVD's to watch.

In fact we started a tradition called "Friday Night Movies" where I select a movie they have never seen and we all gather around to watch together. Some of these shared experiences inspire great conversations about what we have just seen, so in that sense I see it serving a purpose to get the kids thinking about people, relationships, and how people treat one another.

However, I do agree that mindless watching to 'numb the mind' is not a healthy practice—why we do not have cable. I think if the decision to watch something is a conscious one, that good things can come of it.
