  • 17:31:35: Filling a much-needed societal niche: http://whatthefuckshouldimakefordinner.com/
  • 18:02:50: @Dark_Puck Why do you object? We talked about it in my psych class a few years back. I think it's brilliant.
  • 18:04:30: @Dark_Puck Folks can still easily opt out. It's still the individual's decision. But now, the default benefits society.
  • 18:06:57: Proposal: Organ donation defaults to YES. http://bit.ly/dn7KOH I think it's fantastic. Default benefits society--folks can still opt out.
  • 18:26:11: @beckyh2112 Wouldn't an initiative increasing the number of available organs be a step in the opposite direction?
  • 18:34:15: @beckyh2112 Organlegging emerges when organ supply can't meet demand. This increases supply. Don't think demand will increase much with it.
  • 18:39:10: @Dark_Puck This isn't exposing photos of your vacation to any schmoe who wants to see them, it's saving lives. I fail to see equivalence.

  • 21:02:32: @beckyh2112 @Dark_Puck You're not taking away choice. You're just looking at the same choice from the opposite direction.
  • 21:21:31: @beckyh2112 People in France, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, etc would scream just as loudly if someone suggested America's system.
  • 21:42:05: Article about organ donation has me thinking about the Default Bias. Found an awesome TED talk on the subject: http://bit.ly/yEUSh

  • 11:47:34: Lisa and I did get @jenisicecreams yesterday, btw. Alas, Salty Caramel was neither salty nor caramely. More like a good coffee ice cream.
  • 11:52:25: RT @viennateng_news Shows added! Supporting Brandi Carlile from June 3-13 in New Jersey (etc) http://bit.ly/10cus4 // OMG YES
  • 12:00:47: @jenisicecreams Neither of us really care for coffee ice cream. Is it heresy for us to crumble up a bit of pretzel in the salty caramel? :D
  • 12:02:19: @jenisicecreams I look forward to trying some of the other flavors, though! I've heard rave reviews from @fredhicks.
  • 12:06:21: Arg, why is the Teng/Carlile gig in Atlantic City? Why won't Brandi come to NYC? This must be what it's like to live EVERYWHERE ELSE.
