This statue of Abe Lincoln, carved out of mild cheddar cheese, figured prominently in my day.

My life gets weirder and weirder.

• The CEO of my favorite nonprofit earns more than $200,000. Is that outrageous? - By Patty Stonesifer and Sandy Stonesifer - Slate Magazine
  It's an especially good lesson about salaries in the nonprofit sector, but the analysis transfers to for-profit as well.

• All We Can Eat - Cooks Who Make Me Crazy
  This is my greatest pet peeve about recipe sites. Seriously, substitute ALL YOU WANT, but if you're changing the whole thing, don't rate it.

….when you stick Tom and me in a photo booth.

We create four-panel zombie stories.

We went to Ocean City this weekend to attend the wedding of our dear friends Don & Susan. In order to complete the beach theme, they had wanted to have a photo booth at the reception, but renting them is kind of cost-prohibitive. Don’s pretty handy, though, so he rigged one himself, by hooking up a digital SLR to a laptop, a printer, and a microcontroller that would tie it all together. The whole thing was really quite brilliant, and printed your strip of photos right next to a photo of Don & Susan and a photo of the date of their wedding written in the sand on the OC beach. Awesome.

We had a great time at the wedding- lots of fun meeting Don & Susan’s friends, and the sight of Don grinning like an idiot after the ceremony was pretty great, too.

• The decline and fall of high-fructose corn syrup. - By Daniel Engber - Slate Magazine
  I kept hearing that agave syrup was supposed to be the next big "natural" sweetener. Interesting that it's probably worse for you than HFCS is. Clearly the answer is to just learn to use less sweetener.

Dear NBC:

If you don’t renew Chuck, I will never watch your foetid, festering, execrable little network again.

Love,

  Important sunscreen info! Since the TSA confiscated my terrorist-loving sunscreen on the way back from Phoenix, I have to replace it anyway, particularly before CSA season starts and I'm spending time outside picking vegetables.
