Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's so weird. I can only see two thumbnails on two different devices. And it's the same two.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Only 2 of 17 thumbnails display for me, the rest are just "broken image" icons. The page as a whole was very slow to load.
eta: 13/17 in FF5, 15/17 in IE9, but both were very slow to load. Chrome is loading all 17 now, but clicking on a thumbnail gets me a broken image graphic on the individual picture's page.

not your mom's socks.
Twitter is all lit up with tech folks (former Google staff, laughing Squid folks, DJs) losing either G+ access or being locked out of everything -mail, calendars, documents - is anyone else seeing this?
Between Oslo and Congress!Fail and all this other stuff, I want to hide under my blankets. But it's too hot for that.

I see 17. using Chrome.
Oh so random: There's a guy with a similar last name to mine who apparently collects "family" members, who just asked to be my friend on facebook.
My sister is Facebook friends with a bunch of people of no particular relation with our same somewhat unique last name. I find it very weird.
Relatedly, I have s(lastname) as my facebook URL and got a friendly message on Fb from a guy whose first name is s(lastname) saying "damn, you grabbed my name!"

All the cops were busy dealing with the bomb situation in the city. They had to 1) find out about the island, realize it was that bad, and 2) get a swat team together.
And get there. This is the timeline Al Jazeera put together:
4:50pm: Vacationers at a campground begin to hear shooting across the lake on Utoya, an island where the youth wing of the Labour Party is holding a retreat.
5:38pm: SWAT team is dispatched from Oslo. It drives, deciding that taking a police helicopter would take longer.
6:00pm: The team arrives at the lake but struggles to find a boat to cross over to the island.
6:20pm: The SWAT team arrives on the island.
6:35pm: The shooting suspect puts down his weapons and surrenders to police.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

People are weird.
Relatedly, I have s(lastname) as my facebook URL and got a friendly message on Fb from a guy whose first name is s(lastname) saying "damn, you grabbed my name!"
But that's kind of cute.

The sad part is, the book will probably sell, just because Tyra's name is on it. But that's an impressively awful summary.
I just tuned into The Transporter right at the oil scene. There is a God, and she loves me.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
There are a lot of redesigned emergency drills in Norwegian law enforcement's future. I think "it can't happen here" had some effect everyone's response. Of course, hindsight is 20-20.
