I don’t know about you, but I like to change my desktop background fairly frequently. At the office, I prefer wallpaper with a calendar. At home I like backgrounds that inspire or amuse me. Today’s Question of the Day: Where do you find your desktop backgrounds? Continue reading
Let’s be fair, we’re all here because we have similar online reading habits. This is a diverse group though, we come from all over the world, with all kinds of tastes, and we read a lot of stuff all over this here Internet. So, today’s Question of the Day: What else do you check on a regular basis? And don’t say ‘Crasstalk’ in your answer, because you’re already here.
I rarely go a day without hitting Wonkette and Salon, aside from the time I spend around these parts. I know I go to a host of other blogs throughout the work week, but those are my other regulars. What about you guys? Where else do your eyes stray on the regular?

I had a sinus headache for several days and it got me thinking about what we do to avoid going to the doctor. For my headache I’ve run my Neti pot twice a day, applied a warm buckwheat and lavender spa wrap to my head, and, lest you think I’m a hippie, took two ibuprofen every few hours. I’ve been known to sip flat cola for nausea and knock back a half-teaspoon of baking soda for agida. I’ve also reduced my seasonal allergies by eating a little raw local honey every day. Okay, maybe I am a bit of hippie.

Today’s QOTD: Do you Haiku?
Ugh, celebrities and their fauxlationships. Whether it’s Britney Spears and her 55-hour foray into matrimony or Hef and his grotto of sassy silicon-sporters, there’s nothing more obnoxiously predictable than when a celebrity couple falls apart.
Except when it’s not so predictable. Except when, for some reason, you thought they’d be the couple to make it. Except when you kind of think they still will, because don’t they just seem like soulmates, even after their twentieth public knock-down drag-out fight?
And so, today’s QOTD: Which celebrity breakup actually shocked and/or disappointed you? Or, alternatively, Which couple do you secretly think are destined to end up together forever? Continue reading
Creating solely for aesthetic enjoyment is part of what makes humanity unique in the animal kingdom. Whether it’s playing an instrument, drawing cartoons, making cookies, or tinkering with a vehicle, the ways people express themselves are limited only by our imaginations.

Everyone has something that they are notorious for, whether it’s the ability to put one’s entire fist in one’s mouth or recite Pi to 100 decimal places. Are you a math whiz? Trivial Pursuit champion? Unbeatable at backgammon?
Today’s QOTD: What are you known for?
Give us something short and snappy that could be put on a headstone, for future generations to admire and wonder at. Comment
Streetsblog posted an article musing about why women don’t cycle. So I decided to ask you, the fine folks of Crasstalk, the following:

Yeah, it is that hot. All over North America, and summer has only just started. How do you survive the heat? Do you make a swamp cooler, hang out at the community pool, or just go to the movies where the air conditioning is always set at 67° F?
On a Sunday afternoon you can probably find me floating in Falls Lake with a cold beer in my hand. Today’s QOTD:
What is your favorite hot weather recreation?
