William Burroughs is underrated Saturday
- Taliban photos.
- Update: The terrorists are laughing at us. (via Bruce Schneier)
- Selections from Matrix-L, including unpublished letters to the Los Angeles Times.
- A bunch of new Ted talks have been released. Check out this one: 10 ways the world could end and what we can do to make it not.
- Stories from Prague: Káva and Pivo.
- We’re forgetting about William S. Burroughs entirely too fast.
- Huh, what is this? Update: It appears to be an archive page from a Japanese blog dedicated to one particular vending machine, and how the items offered by that machine change from day to day, featuring some great diagrams. How we should feel about this remains an unanswered question.
- Motorcycle doctors in rural Africa.
- LOL big lenses.
- This week in “Google’s Plan to Conquer the World,” Google Gears. You know those online apps that Google launched a few months ago? Not so online anymore.
- Those of you who do not understand why Eric Clapton is considered a god of the guitar should watch this video and then you’ll see. (Also: Star Wars Redo)
- At this point i might be delirious, but this is funny. “Question: what has a fruity lining and is approximately six inches long? Answer: a highly inappropriate joke!”
- Hey look, the Onion is producing videos now: ‘Students First In Line’ Program To Offer Job Training At Needy Schools.
- Try to care less about something: Woody Allen is directing an opera.
- The mayor of San Diego, a republican, changed his mind about gay marriage.
- Don’t go to college. Animal Collective told you, Vice Magazine told you, and this guy proved it with numbers.

William S Burroughs is underrated pretty much all the time, not just Saturdays. I think American kids should have to memorize A Thanksgiving Prayer in school.
What?! We’re too quickly forgetting a guy who shot his wife dead?! That is unacceptable! Such individuals are heroes of the patriarchy and must never fall into obscurity.
Creative genius is an acceptable excuse for misanthropic behaviors of all sorts, as long as no actual men are harmed in the course of the misanthropy.
Suggested retitled for this post:
Eric Clapton is Overrated Sunday.
That clip nearly made me vomit my cherrios.
It seems as if Mr. Clapton may have watched Spinal Tap one too many times.
Not underrated by the waiter at the thai restaurant at 71st and Bay in Miami Beach. Check out his Burroughs tattoo.
