‘After Ever After’: Disney Spoof By Jon Cozart Will Blow Your Mind (VIDEO) – The Huffington Post – This is amazing. I spent half the video trying to figure out how he did it so perfectly. A lot of takes, I imagine!

More French birthday treats! Cake from the gang at Sitback.
RIP Google Reader
So yeah, I’m still pretty annoyed about Reader getting canned. But frankly my love for it was never the same after they gutted out all the social features, so I’m not as incandescent with rage as some folks. Just disappointed. In the ensuing Metafilter thread, people started sharing their lifetime stats (which you can see by hitting the “Trends” button in Reader). To my horror, my total was actually sitting on 299,987! So even though I’d decided to find a new service, I still had to scroll through 13 more items so I could hit the magical 300,000+ mark.
Anyway, pretty early on I decided that I was going to test out The Old Reader as a replacement. It was built after the “sharepocalypse” and it’s basically attempting to recreate the Google Reader utopia of four years ago. Of course, their site (along with every other cloud based reader) started getting hammered. I managed to get my import request in and it got processed overnight. Now I’m deleting old dead feeds and reorganising. If you want to follow me over there, my profile is krishoward. Be warned – they’re still slammed and the site is going awfully slow. (They put up a blog post talking about their plans to cope with the influx of new users.) So far so good though!

Woohoo! Interview lined up for Monday with State Library. (Too bad I wore my sexy librarian outfit today.)
Google to Shut Down Google Reader – WTF. Seriously? GAHHHH. Now I have to find a new RSS reader. Ironically, I actually read about this ON GOOGLE READER and shared it to my blog VIA A GOOGLE READER PLUGIN. Crap on a stick.
Now I Know: Open House – Whaaa? 23 Leinster Gardens in Bayswater, London, is not an actual house. I lived on that street for the better part of a year all up, and I never knew that.
OMG Rutger Hauer’s hair on the set of True Blood – Oh sweet baby Jesus, Rutger Hauer on True Blood? The Snook is gonna be ALL OVER THIS.
Lifelike baby dolls and the people who love them – I remember seeing these Reborn dolls at the Sydney Craft Show a few years ago. Pretty creepy. I’m also pretty sure that Miss Fee has used them at least once as a prop (dead) baby on a TV crime show…
