Headset Etiquette
This is a problem that’s just going to get worse as the technology evolves:
While many users find them convenient and fun, the new headsets can create peculiar social situations. As was the case with Ms. Vilson and her friend, bystanders are often unaware that a user is wearing one. Indeed, users of Bluetooth headsets often appear to be talking to themselves.

Looks Like It Needs A Little Lube
For those who need a little hurricane humor break, Andrew Sullivan has an interesting little Rorschach from the National Weather Service. It only works if you have a prurient mind, though. So despite the post title, I of course have no idea what the joke’s all about.
