2010!! Holy Shit!
On some of my favorite blogs, people are talking a lot about how their lives changed in the first decade of the 21st century. Like most of friends and contemporaries, my life changed very dramatically: I went from being a child (I was 11 on New Year's Eve 2000) to being an adult.

Dear Lord...
From xkcd today:
"Obama has been writing Lincoln/Obama erotic fan fiction on his secret livejournal. Excerpt: :Lincoln lay back on the bed, nude save for his trademark stovepipe hat. 'Tell Me,' he purred seductively, as he and Obama formed a more perfect union. 'When you come, is it 10% ethanol?' " -
Writer's Block: Forbidden Reading
When I was fifteen, I bought a used copy of the Kama Sutra; I was fifteen, and somehow, it seemed like the height of sophistication and sexual prowess to own a copy of the Kama Sutra, and one that looked dog-earred and well-referenced to boot. I eventually discovered that:
