Oh, oh...Calli?

My friend Stephany recently wrote a great & witty blog post about Campbell's continuing use of Bisphenol A in the lining of thier soup cans. [link]

That Harvard study has been so miserably misreported by just about everyone. High levels of BPA in urine means that BPA is excreted and is therefore much less potentially harmful than was previously reported. (Which is the exact opposite of what just about every news outlet in the universe has said.)

Here's a very good writeup of the study and the wretched media coverage - [link]

Oh, oh...Calli?

Nope.

What do you mean by linear? And what do you get from categories different from tags (which I see that Pinterest also has)?

Pretty much what Sue said - the ability to have one pinterest account with multiple categories that I can then cross tag and group as much as my twisty mind wants is what appeals the most.

I don't like the 'follow' stuff as much, but I like being able to find where I put something.

In reading the articles about the "All-American Muslims" show, it looks like all of them are taking the list from the FFA website which seems a bit suspect. I'm wondering how many of the companies on that list actually had made commitments to purchase a series of ads and actually cancelled that commitment - which is what Lowe's did. I know that many times, particularly for a new show, companies will buy an ad or two and see how it goes before making a commitment - which is what Home Depot is saying it did. The problem is that we'll never know if those companies didn't buy more ads because of the FFA campaign or because the ROI didn't justify it.

x-post but Ginger was more concise than me.

you would need a tumblr for every seperate fascination

Which I do have. But I'm really adamant about separation of personalities. You don't want the crossover, no you don't.

I don't think Pinterest is for me. Tumblr is fine for stuff I'm willing to share with other people, and I have Evernote and Springboard for stuff I clip for my own purposes. And I certainly don't have the bandwidth to follow people somewhere else.

I do wish I were organised enough for Polyvore, though. I'm just not thorough enough to do it justice.

What no more guesses for cannibalized and berets?

That quote is gold.

Teppy?

Yay, Allyson, I am so excited about your guitar! I want to give you lessons! Alas, I am too far. But please, please feel free to ask me anything or complain or anything you want. I'm super happy to encourage you or help you out with the process.

Thanks so much for all of that! I'm itching to get home and practice positioning my hands correctly on the neck and such. I was told to just practice holding down the strings with my fingers on the frets lowest (and closer together) while strumming and watching tv so I could get my hands used to the motions. So that's what ima do when I get home.

I wish you and Matt were here to give me lessons, too!

Teppy?

It does have a bit of the Teppy quippiness and statement of principle. But she doesn't have quite that stiff, New Englander [hint] sense of offense and propriety.
