Daily View, 7/9

This is a Boing Boing heavy issue. Sometimes they bore the hell outta me, other times they interest and intrique me, post after post. Lately we have been getting along:

• I'm a big fan of Tetris. And so I'm surprised I never bothered to download a free Mac-style version before I heard this woeful tale.


• Frightening publishing stats (which may or may not be quite spot-on, after reading the comments).


• And why not. If you're gonna have a fireplace... pirate hearth accessories.


• Props to these crazy people who have turned the internet into their personal money making machine. Guy trades red paperclip for...


• Not sure how I feel about the "Kill Whitey" parties. Have I lamented my whiteness? Of course. But have I attempted to do it with a hipster display of poseur "irony"? Um, no. Shit like this is funny until a person of color walks in... then you're just a bunch of stupid crackers who left your asses at home. Sigh. This sentence is interesting, though: "He came to see himself as part of post-racial Generation Y, for whom whiteness was an outmoded, oppressive idea." Since when are we living in a "post-racial" society??
