"Joni Mitchell . . .

Funny stuff on the internet

1. "The Four Levels of Social Entrapment" (Hyperbole and a Half). One of my Facebook friends has changed her profile photo to the panel that says, "I'd love to hang out, but I have to go sit in my house by myself . . ."

2. Smug theology (XKCD).

3. A website about things customers say to web designers. My favorite:

"Can you make the site loader slower? We want it to feel more elegant."

4. Questions Begged by the Banner in My College Admissions Office: "Where Great Futures Begin!!" (McSweeney's).

"7 things Mario games have in common with the Bible"
