How To Find Yourself A Good Pen Name by Claire Askew!
I was fortunate enough to meet Steve Pavlina at the Blog World Expo & he’s an awesome guy. Unsurprisingly enough, so is this interview with him: Blogging God Steve Pavlina Interview: On Motivation, Handling Email, Daily Routines, How He Got Started, and Much More from Zen Habits.
Lots of food articles: The 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating, Does Fructose Make You Fatter? & Unhappy Meals (which I may have linked before but is worth refreshing your memory with).
In my quest to research Paris over the past few days, I discovered La Coquette & Chic Shopping Paris. I like ‘em!
Random travel thoughts by Seth Godin. He makes good points (as always). A lot of them are things I’ve been thinking about recently!
Seven Questions That Will Prevent Regret & 25 Simple Steps To Becoming Successful from Dumb Little Man.
Top 10 Blogs For Writers — & I know there are a bunch of you, so don’t be shy!
Fight Club was a good movie. Brian Clark used it as a jumping-off point & came up with Tyler Durden’s 8 Rules Of Innovation.
Rob Brezsny has a podcast! Pronoia Is Taboo! Click to listen. In this one he asks, “Are you truly ready to shed the values and self-images that keep you locked into alignment with the dying civilization?” Ooof!
Amazing news! Dolce & Gabbana used my man CHEW FU’s remix of Kanye’s ‘Love Lockdown’ at their show last Thursday! Check out the video! I’m so proud. I always knew D&G had taste!
I can’t really explain what this blog is about, but every post is pretty hilarious…
Umbrella mania! (Thanks, Weily!) Umbrella Today? & Umbrella Etiquette are both delightful in their simplicity.
How ordinary people become monsters… or heroes, a TEDtalk.
Finally, if you haven’t got your tickets to Atmosphere’s Paint The Nation tour yet, watch this (or download this), then go buy yourself one!
Okay, I’m going to go out & explore this amazing city at my feet… Have a magnifique weekend, sweetness!
Love letters & feather headdresses,

OH MAN! Philip Zimbardo? Like “good-apples-bad-barrels” Stanford prison experiment Zimbardo?
I am of firm belief that your situation does play a lot into who you are and how you react. (See- Stanford Prison Experiment)
I am also of firm belief that you can make that different by changing your surroundings.

What an original concept for marketing a restaurant, right down to the intentionally off-putting name.
Yay! A TED Talk! I freaking love watching these talks. Have you seen Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor describe her experience having a stroke? It’s so incredibly moving and interesting… here’s a link just in case you haven’t seen it yet:

Atmosphere on Jimmy Kimmel Live was SO GOOD. I’m rather envious that you’re seeing them soon for real!
This is fab, and I’m glad to have discovered Claire Askew. I’d be very interested to learn of another blog with the same verve, but for prose writers!
