1. Who was St Bernard of Clairvaux?  See also.
2. I find it ... interesting that the emoticon and the compact disc are turning 25 right about the same time.
3. Disney-MGM Studios in Florida is going to be renamed Disney Hollywood Studios. 
4. Do you just delete all e-cards without reading on the assumption they're spam (or worse)?  It's a problem, because I do send out e-cards to some folks (family, mostly).  When I get them, though, I do look to see if it's ostensibly from a person I know, if it's from a provider I'm familiar with, and if it "looks" right.
5. I blogged about it on Doing Write, but De's post about Lester Dent's Rules of Pulp Fiction would make a nice GM's plotting guide for any sort of pulpy game.
6. Abp. Akinola -- long-suffering martyr to righteousness, faith, forbearance, and patience?  Or, not?
7. Are we living in The Matrix?  Does it matter? (via GeekPress)
8. How the thriving bottled water business is changing the soft drink business:  "Diet Coke is 99% Water!"
9. And, on a related note, in keeping with recent studies indicating that caffeinated drinks only somewhat reduce retention of water (you still net about 70-80% of the fluid consumed), I was amused Saturday to see "Coke Plus" touting its "hydration" benefits.

Quoth DOF ...

Yes, I delete e-cards. The decision passes through two levels. Spam? Probably. Not spam then? Maybe, but I don't take risks without reward, and I just don't get that big of a charge out of e-cards.

A good joke, or a juicy news item, can be carried in plain text.
