A collection of cool stuff I read/watched this week:
Why Taking a Compliment Is So Hard from The Oatmeal: “Receiving a compliment is like being tossed a ball covered in lube and scorpions.”
Why I Hid My Pregnancy from My Employer: “I decided I wasn’t going to tell them I was about to have another baby. I was scared they wouldn’t trust that I could handle a newborn and my workload at the same time. I worried that if I told them I could be in labor during the first few days of the project, they’d offer it to someone else.”

Excerps from Arabic Love Poems. I loved this post so much I went looking for more:
One day you will ask me
which is more important,
My life or yours?
I will say mine
and you will walk away
not knowing
you are my life.
Zounds!
And finally, August 4th was the anniversary of 30-50 Feral Hogs, the only good Twitter meme.
