ABOUT CLICKED

The modern news consumer ignores Weblogs and online citizen journalism at his own peril. But not everyone has the time to keep track of what's going on the Web. With this blog we hope to track the highlights of what's being discussed online so when news breaks from the Web, we're ready.

Will Femia is a Weblog enthusiast who, through good fortune and dumb luck, was introduced to the form as his position as chat producer for MSNBC.com careered into obsolescence. On any given day, Will can be found having already spent an unhealthy amount of time squinting at a computer screen.

Step 1: Weave bacon

Posted: Friday, December 12, 2008 5:26 PM by Will Femia

You know it's going to be good when the first step is "weave bacon."

Daily Routines: How writers, artists, and other interesting people organize their days. They don't mean that generally. This is descriptions of the daily flow of specific people.

The flight path of every commercial flight in the world over a 24-hour period in a 72 second video.

Clerk Dogs is an "if you liked x, you'll like y" movie recommender. It did an interesting job with Delicatessen.

Whoever said cap guns are not a gateway more destructive diversions never saw this exploding hammer festival. </end offending anyone who knows what this festival actually is.>

The story of capturing images directly from the brain is the fun kind of science that lends itself to imaginative, if not completely responsible sorta-science reporting. My mind went to something along the lines of crime fighting by analyzing the latent mental images of crime victims. The Daily Mail jumped televised dreams. Good one.

Crazy YouTube stunt cringe video of the day: Kite surfer crash NOTE: The crash isn't so bad and everyone lives but there's one point in the video where they briefly show his severely bruised hip and that's both gross and kind of naked-ish.

Social media etiquette handbook - I was dismissive of social network "drama" in my Twitter description but it's still not a bad idea to know how things are done on a service you're using, especially if you're new to that service.

Clicked reader Mark R. offered up Play Auditorium in the comments the other day. Dangerously cool.

Oh my god you're the only person I know besides my dad who has even heard of delicatessan (and he was the one that watche dit with me)!
Will, there wouldn't be an MP3 of Rachel saying "motherbleeper" anywhere, would there?
Lisa, there can be. :)
I'll make one this afternoon.
Will, you rock like a rockin' thing :D
Lisa, the ring tone is delayed because there's been a hiccup in the publishing of the transcripts of the Maddow show. She did say Mother Bleeper on the 9th but she said it kind of slow. I'd like to find a better one so I'm waiting for the transcripts to update so I can find more.
