I’m a 57-year-old man. Fat. Bald. I have a wife I like. And a boyfriend I love.

Excerpted here:
I’m a 57-year-old man. Fat. Bald. I have a wife I like. And a boyfriend I love. I’ve been “happily” married for over 37 years. Yet I’ve been leading a secret double life since I turned 50. In the age of Lady Gaga and her mainstream kink videos, a married man in love and having sex with another man is one of the final taboos. I used to think that myself. Nobody talks about it. There aren’t books or movies about it. It’s the ultimate closet. What I’ve learned in these past few years is that men, even married men, can fall in love with men. A “bromance” can naturally involve touching and it’s completely normal. This is what men have been doing since the start of time, and what men are made to do.Full-text, here:

Post-It War!
by Locke on Oct.17, 2011, under Pop Culture
Princess Toadstool?
There’s a war raging in the offices of Paris.
The Guardian reports:
…across the French capital, the summer has been enlivened by a corporate collage contest known as La guerre des Post-it (the Post-it wars). The battle is between presumably underemployed office workers who are devoting large chunks of their days to sticking thousands of pink, yellow, orange and green notes on their windows to recreate pixelated images.
The war draws heavily on the nerd canon — lots of video games, with a little Star Wars thrown in. But there are a few surprises in the mix.
The Post-it revolution is being obsessively documented at postitwar.com (of course), which gave us permission to post some of the pictures here.

Globally Infectious Web Trends
V1R4L is a tumblr to drive traffic to viral and guerrilla marketing initiatives, web trends, interesting fads and crazes and general internet tom foolery. In fact, our only rule for posts is that they have to be interesting. The categories to the right enable us to shelve posts by interest, but you certainly don’t have to submit ideas that fit neatly into one of those groups. If it’s interesting, we want to hear about it.
