The promo for Gmail Blue had me crying with laughter, partly from the earnestness of the Google employees (I really hope they aren't actors) and partly from the reaction shot of the Blue Man Group. Very well done. [link]

You know, most plants are not that tasty without some sort of seasoning either. We should just stop eating everything except salt and herbs.

Anyone have a good pumpkin muffin recipe? Or pumpkin bread, I'm not picky. I have half a can of pumpkin (probably about 14 oz) to use up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I just realised some of my problem--I found this web app [link] that amongst other things tells you how old a given tumblr is. MY TUMBLRSCAPE IS TWO YEARS OLD.
That's not even Tumblr puberty. Get off my Tumblr lawn.
I have been pushing cookies on people all day, and the lightbulb that went off over one developer's head when I mentioned that I'd made them. As if I'd give her any other cookies! Either it's Jamaican, or home made (sadly rarely both). And someone else I gave one to took one with that frozen smile of fuck-you-for-backing-me-into-this-corner and then came back two minutes later to tell me they're delish.
I KNOW. They're also fragile as all fuck, and too sweet for me to eat before they all explode into crumbs.

I still have a folder full of non-gluten free recipes, but I had to dig it out.
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup pumpkin
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or whatever combo of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and/ginger you want that adds up to 1 tsp.)
Preheat oven to 350. Bake in loaf pan for 50-60 minutes (or for muffins, start checking at 20-25 minutes).
t edit You could add nuts, chocolate chips, or something -- I never do, so I can't guess the amount. Maybe 1/2 cup?

My company is starting a program about improving work they are calling [Company Name] Way of Working. Our company name begins with L and is Belgian. So, yes, we are starting an program called L'WOW.
Ok, I added the apostrophe, BUT COME ON!!! I want to make t-shirts with a big cheesy sunburst on them and possibly a rainbow unicorn.

The O in L'WOW should be the big cheesy sunburst. And the unicorn should be jumping OVER the L'WOW.
