Can anyone help with Excel? I was typing the name of the news site I was posting to into a cell yesterday, and I must have hit something because now it shows whatever I'm typing up in the top left of the document (next to something that says "fx") and no matter what I do, it won't put the text in the correct cell.

I'm a total novice with Excel, if that wasn't clear.

Try hitting shift F3.

ETA: fx is "insert function" and shift F3 is how you turn that on, so if that's what you hit maybe it will turn it back off.

Didn't work. I should add that I lied -- it's a Google Doc spreadsheet, not officially Excel.

Thank you, though!

Let me try that.

The font color was set to white, if anyone wants to laugh at me.

Where is everyone?

Where is everyone?

Around the corner.

Reading the amazing comments on this dude's announcement about the millions he just raised to start a website for ladies.

Oh dear.

I really, really miss June Thomas on Slate Culture Gabfest. Does anyone know if she talks anywhere else?

Possible Good Stuff?

Vicious Dog Call - Neatorama

Officer Dan Waskiewicz of the Baltimore Police Department responded to a call about a vicious dog chasing kids. He later wrote about the experience:

I followed the dog into an ally to see how it was acting. Going on my own approach, being a dog lover, I got out of my car and called the "vicious dog" over to me. The dog came over with it's tail between it's legs and panting. I grabbed my water bottle and the dog sat down next to me and began licking my pants. I started giving the dog water. I brought the dog over and waited for the pound to show up. My partner was not a fan of dogs and was startled by my approach. I suggested to him that this dog cannot be put down, and should be taken to a shelter. We took it upon ourselves to take the dog to the shelter, and transported it in the back seat in the back of our patrol car. Then I decided that I wanted to keep the dog, and spoke to the shelter about the steps to take to adopt it.

Plus there's a cute picture!
