Seriously, I think I could start dedicating a day to an Ask MetaFilter Question o' the Day. (I did ask a category for MetaFilter recently so that's part way there already!) This one was particularly relevant – what things does a new parent today have to know about/worry about that previous generations didn't?
For how demonized some albums are, when you cut it down to just the “bad” parts, it really puts things in perspective. 19 seconds. 42 seconds. 29 seconds. 0 seconds. 10 seconds.(via MetaFilter)
A web site that allows you to “play” the HTML of any web site. This isn't as straight-forward as it sounds…The CodeOrgan analyses the “body” content of any web page and translates that content into music.

Not sure if you heard but apparently the Wet & Rainy Olympics are in Canada this year and the opening ceremonies are tonight.

Very revealing conversation with lots of info about the behind-the-scenes workings of Facebook as well as the site's future plans. Obviously, it's important to keep in mind this is an anonymous interview on the Internet. So who knows how true it is? AllofFacebook.com, a site dedicated to all things Facebook has an analysis but won't […]
Appropriate for the first FFL of 2010 on a day where the mercury dropped to -48 with windchill (aka “hmmm, I did not realise that you could get frostbite there.”)
Then remember this as the second decade of the new millennium begins. This year should be referred to as “twenty-ten”, not “two-thousand ten” (no matter what the Vancouver Olympics are being hyped as.)
