Love it!!!

Well worth a read (starts out technical, don’t worry, keep going!)

*edit*

Even better, the original story by Thomas Lera (minus the retro internet formatting, thankfully)

Yes, the original definitely kills your eyes, but I like it for the photos. I think they really enhance the story. Read it!

Donate your functioning but unused iPod or other MP3 player to a great cause:

Hopefully, by now you’ve seen the video clip of “Alive Inside,” the documentary capturing the wondrous results of elderly nursing home patients being re-introduced to the music of their youth. … Daniel Cohen, the man who initiated bringing mp3 players into nursing homes and thus sparked filmmaker Michael Rossato-Bennet into making the documentary, is in need of more music players.
“There’s a huge need for iPod donations at many public and private nursing homes, where the interest from patients who miss their favorite music is far greater than the arrival of donated iPods to our collection centers,” writes Music & Memory, Cohen’s organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for the elderly through music.
If you have an old iPod that’s gathering dust, consider donating it to Music & Memory. The organization checks out—Cohen is the actual guy the documentary crew followed around for a year—so you can be sure your old iPod will go to good use. “We’ll accept old, new, used, and even broken or damaged iPod players that our volunteer team can check and repair if possible for use in one of our centers,” says Music & Memory. “Our residents don’t mind a few case scratches or decals.”

To suspend flowers in the cubes, work in layers: Fill an ice tray (one that makes large cubes so the ice will last longer) a quarter of the way with water, add flowers facing down, and freeze. Add more water to fill halfway, and freeze. Fill to the top, and freeze again. 
For ice that’s especially clear, use distilled water that has been boiled and then cooled. This limits impurities and air bubbles, which make ice cloudy. 
Use only edible flowers, such as orchids, nasturtiums, pansies, and snapdragons, that have been grown to be eaten (to ensure they haven’t been treated with chemicals). (via)

oh clever!

ooohhh!!

Charles Bukowski, “As the Sparrow”

sharingpoetry:

To give life you must take life,
and as our grief falls flat and hollow
upon the billion-blooded sea
I pass upon serious inward-breaking shoals rimmed
with white-legged, white-bellied rotting creatures
lengthily dead and rioting against surrounding scenes.
Dear child, I only did to you what the sparrow
did to you; I am old when it is fashionable to be
young; I cry when it is fashionable to laugh.
I hated you when it would have taken less courage
to love.
