(Little buttons, like this are showing up all over the web on blogs. Now there's an online form that will create custom ones for you auto-magically. I like that you could take whole bunch of them, stack them up on your page, and they'd take up less screen real estate than just posting the links. Of course, since they're images, there's a bandwidth tradeoff, but they're pretty small to begin with. And as you can see, I've gone a little crazy with them, but wtf!, youknowimsayin?

Update: Moveable Type's frontwoman responds ... in buttons!)

(Deviance is measured against a "norm." I think that this survey suggests the African Americans who live in more affluent -- and thus more integrated -- communities stand out when they don't follow the norm. It's basically saying: act white or you'll be viewed as possibly crazy. And there's where the madness really lies. What if the "norm" is deviant to begin with? ) « 11:21:50 AM »    

(That's a pretty thought-provoking comment from a writer, an urban critic, who has a gadfly rep. But it's a pretty good point, because there are not that many public places you can go and just hang out. Everything is activity-based: you go to the mall to shop. You go to the cineplex to watch a movie. You go to a restaurant, a ballgame, a carwash. But after you've done that activity, you go home. (b/w camworld)) « 11:02:09 AM »
