More people need to read Rabble.ca
I’ve been reading a lot of the post-election articles on Rabble.ca. If you don’t know the site, you should, whether you consider yourself a “political” person or not.

The fact is we all need to be more political...

Favourite new site of the day... →
I love Merlin Mann. I’m not afraid to admit it. I know that the love is unrequited (for now!) but I just don’t care. Anyone that makes me laugh as much as he does deserves my unconditional devotion. Please. Mr. Mann, keep making the funny and I will keep bringing the love.
