POPSRural, racist America B*lls-out discussion about racism's contribution to the Democratic primary, and how things may play out. God, I'm naive...and I fear for us all...

POPSNot the cover of the Rolling Stone Comprehensive-but-brief (and well-written, laws-a mercy!) sketch of the huge shift in the music industry and what "making it" means today. 100% applicable to any pursuit once requiring mass exposure/consumption: just shift the particulars.

POPSBlack is the best color Holy crap. I may have to buy this book (How to Think Like a Great Graphic Designer) just to read this interview. (thanks to the ever-fantastic Grant McCracken for pointing this out)

POPSNo more PR spam The clip is from a comment by Merlin Mann, but overall the comments--and post--are great. As Brian Oberkirch pointed out on Twitter, from the small amount that reaches (and annoys) me, a nothingblogger, I cannot imagine what the big boys have to put up with. Once again, a bunch of idiots ruin everything for a few smart, nice people who Get It.

POPSHow to ask for help I'm bookmarking this everywhere. I'm sending this to everyone. This is the best advice ever written—EVER!!!—on how to solicit advice, help, favors, etc. from people. Thank you, Pamela Slim!

POPSYou are not your resume The inimitable Liz Ryan sums up why iconoclasm is the only answer to change. (There's a bunch of pretty good advice about Facebook, too, if you're new to it, but I f*cking hate Facebook.)

POPSWhy textbooks suck A fascinating--and horrifying, if you care at all about education--look at how the books schools use to teach your kids get made. Corporate greed, pandering to special interest groups, lowest-common-denominator thinking: all your favorite characters on parade here, parents!

POPSGeorge Carlin breaks it down I love love love this quote. I am printing it out and putting it in my nerdbook. The rest of the interview is great, too, although I'm pissed off that he won't vote.
