As I attempt once again to return to veganism (see my new blog, VegaNOM), I saw this list and thought it was a cool meme.
Basically, you bold the items that you’ve eaten. Hat tip to Mark Tafoya of ReMARKable Palate for bringing this to my attention.
I’d be tempted to eat all 100 things but dirt and pig rectum just aren’t my style.

It has recently come to my attention that I wasted my childhood reading the classics and creating various entrepreneurial ventures (most notably The Do-Fun-Stuff Club and Scrambled Factory, among others) instead of doing important things like watching movies and playing command-line games.
I know who Luke’s father is, and I know what Soylent Green is, but that’s not because I’ve ever seen Star Wars or Soylent Green. I played MYST right when it came out and I “I am rubber, you are glue”-ed my way through Monkey Island but that does nothing for my geek cred.
Help me catch up: What movies must I see? What games must I play?

Special thanks to Tony for inspiring my Cultural Literacy Project.
I’m fully, 100% in support of all efforts to make microblogging federated.
If you’re unfamiliar with federation, my non-technical explanation: Remember back in the days of AOL where you could only send messages to other AOL members? That’s like Twitter/Plurk/Jaiku today. A silo.
A federated system, like Laconi.ca/Identi.ca, means you can seamlessly subscribe/send messages to people on other platforms, like you can send/receive email with people on domains different from your own.
I’m running the “Oh, Identi.ca!” blog and intend to do what I can to help them grow and stabilize. However, in the interim, I don’t expect people to leave Twitter for an admittedly buggy system with no direct messages or easy friend import tool. So, I’m going to be on both Twitter and Identi.ca (not bridging - unique messages on both) until Identi.ca is ready for prom.
I encourage you to signup for Identi.ca and follow me over there, too.
