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.

Tight day today so I'm not sure I'll be able to post a longer list later but a few quick must-shares right now:

RunPee allows you to look up movies to find out when is a good time to get up and pee and also describes what you'll be missing while you're up.

Read Infinite Jest this summer! I'm on page 807 so I should be done soon but I'll still probably follow this group just to see what people are saying. Holding the bulk of the book in my left hand as I read instills a feeling akin to the week before graduation day.

Sorry I'm late - Another one of those shot-from-above stop action films. Cute.

I'm at a complete loss as to the "why?" portion of your "Read Infinite Jest this summer" link.
I've never heard of this book before and it seems kinda boring from the Wikipedia page I read on it.
Is it any good? Why should anyone read it?
Sorry for the double comment, but am I the only one who can't get the "Sorry I'm late" video to work? Is says "Click to play", and well, I've clicked just about everywhere on that page and nothing's happening.
thansk for the clues. The opportunity and need to pee never seems to be an assumeption in creating innovative applications, online or not.
On that note, as distparte as the commentary began, I will comment randomly on several stream of conciousness points:

The term "careering" as used in the profile for this site is an interstign variation of "careening" both I assume with the same intent. It appears to be inidicate another yuppie infestatin of the lexicon gurus' chambers.
Someone asked the question, further down the list, as to the logical i.e., pragmatic rationale for same-sex partner health benefits. Being of a conservative mind-set as it regards social relationships, I don't think there really is one. Being an independent citizen and political realist, I also don't think a logical rationale exists to deny the benefits. Unless you are employed by the KKK or the so-called Christian Right (Neither premise works in truth) it is not a BFOQ and should not matter as long as performance and committment are in place.

The employment, deployment, enjoyment and remonstrative delight of aging is the realization in seeing that all experience is kept in our brains but not presently available until the right mental key is tapped. As Leonard Cohen says, "Let the bells ring...There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in."
