Amazing Book Sculptures: Art in Paper
Some incredibly talented artists have turned books into sculptures, carefully cutting their pages into various shapes and forms. Who knew that old books could have more uses besides being turned into tinder? The book sculptures appear to be very delicate, so we’d hope that they are kept behind glass cases. Here are some really cool book sculptures.

MANY more at the link - I couldn't decide which one I wanted to show in the snippet because they are all amazing.

I know that AT&T doesn't have a great rep among the geek-a-sphere, but I thought I would pass this along.  If you have or can get a '.gov' or '.mil' email address you can get up to a 24% discount on services and equipment.  Also if you order online you get $25 off new equipment.  I did a lot of research and this is by far the best discount offered by the main carriers.  You can confirm your discount at: http://goo.gl/AGG1n  I just picked up a HTC Vivid for $30 and my rate works out to $60 a month.  [No I Do Not Work or Am Affiliated With AT&T In Any Way]

I want a ride TO&/OR from Portland THIS Mon/Tue Sept 17/18 (from Nehalem, Oregon).
Yes, I can take the bus, but I'd RATHER share a ride. $10 for gas for each direction.
Ride in EITHER DIRECTION is fine.
I need to be in Portland by early Tuesday, so leaving for Portland (preferably later than earlier)
I also want a ride back TO Nehalem area (OR Tillamook) anytime after noon on Tuesday.
A ride in either direction is fine.
Thanks,Frank 503-754-8432

Google Plus vs. Facebook... What vs. Who!
There is a difference... it's based on how you approach the two.
In my opinion it comes down to this:

With Google Plus it is What You Know... or What you want to know.
With Facebook it is Who You Know... or Who you want to know.

You start with G+ based on What you know and when you connect based on that 'Shared Interest'... you start to get to know the Who behind the What.

You start with FB based on Who you know and you may move on to meet others, but that is usually because of Who they know, not What they know.

Different?... Yes! Is one better?... It depends!
You tell me... will this help you explain them?

How Facebook Is Silencing Over Half or Your Business Page's Fans

My latest rant!

As more and more of Facebook's traffic is coming from mobile, it's lack of the ability to re-share posts to one's friends (something Google+'s app has had for some time now) creates huge lost opportunities for Facebook Pages.

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE

Let's say it's 6.15pm and you're going home (alone of course),
after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!!

NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE..

Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to... more »

Announcement: Diaspora Will Now Be A Community Project

From an email I received today:

"Dear Community,

We have been overwhelmed with your support the past week after our annoucnment of Makr.io and the opening up of signups on joindiaspora.com.  This week, we are excited to share with you some important Diaspora announcements.

When we started Diaspora two years ago, the project kicked off with amazing reception and support from people that believed in our ultimate goal: giving users ownership over their data. It's a powerful idea, one that captured the imaginations of millions of people across the world. This vision has expanded and evolved over the past two years that we have been working on it as the project has grown.

Diaspora* began when we were still at NYU—just four guys trying to scratch our own itch. We had an idea about howso... more »

 *Bob Dylan socks it the new masters of war. EXCELLENT.*

 I heard this on Best Of The Left  #632 http://www.bestoftheleftpodcast.com/ a Most Wonderful Endeavor.

Starting at around MINUTE SIX, Bob Dylans (apparent?) response to Obama's bedecking him with the Medal of Freedom award, earlier this month. Listen to Dylan's in-your-fucking-teeth reaction to this latest Master of War. Apparently, Dylan did not say a word while he was on stage with the other winners. I'm not clear when/where he actually sang this. Details anyone? Would love to see the video.  

In trying to track down the sequence of song and honors, I ran into this. Nottamun Town
Yep, Dylan stole ALL the music for this song, note for note. He's done this time and again and never truly gets called on it by the media. Really pretty disgusting. Guthrie did the same. Kinda creepy. AND he getsto ke... more »

"How to monetize your web presence"*

If you:

   * Have a Brick & Mortar and/or virtual business or organization
   * Have a virtual business or organization
   * Sell on eBay or Etsy or…
   * Have a popular website or blog
   * Have a large (1000 and over) following in social media
   * Work in the arts
   * Sell a service

There are many ways to bring a dependable income stream by monetizing your presence on the web. Building a monetizing "engine" may take time, effort and trial and error. BUT, here's what you get in return (batteries not included):

   * A dependable residual income, the best kind of income, right?
   * Financial independence (or a nice supplement to your regular work for The Man).
   * The same actions thatsuccesfully monetize ... more »
