I am in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
grooooms:
Hence, the lack of tumblin’. But it’s cool here.
A little more touristy for my taste, but the mountains are beautiful and hanging out with my Jon’s family is the best entertainment.

neonexposure:
Is a 90min museum experience that I must partake in. These two beautifully done museums have been on my must visit tourist attractions list for a while now. Here is a little tid bit of information on the museum, that I extracted from the official website, to help put into perspective just how…

So between the replica of the Titanic (the “world’s largest museum attraction” where you can book a wedding, ladies and gents) and DOLLYWOOD, I think Pigeon Forge, TN is a must-see on any American road trip.

Vacations are fun things to do. Life would have been easier if it is all about taking a vacation. However, you cannot do this if you want to accomplish something in your life. Instead, you should just plan your vacations well so that you can still indulge in fun things. One of the greatest…

My friend Rob is doing a social experiment on himself. 30 Days of listening only to Chicago. The Band. One album per day. He is blogging his thoughts on the album as well as the state of his mental health. Today is Day 1.

The MS nerd: Clarity →
msnerd:
One amazingly wrong story about Windows Phone has picked up a lot of steam lately. I’m afraid with my Rhythm post, I may have contributed to the problem. (Oddly, the Ecosystems post has gone relatively unnoticed, what with the recent Lenovo leak). I am referring to the widespread…

Eat waffles with The President of Iceland
Now this is a campaign only accomplishable in a tiny and friendly country such as Iceland. The President of Iceland launched the campaign with an address to the nation asking them to invite foreign guests into their homes or out for some play.

First, and again, this is a critical battle to wage and win. SOPA is just the latest, but in many…
Correction to Murk Avenue: Ice Cube's 'Good Day'... →
lahatiel:
It should actually be November 30th, 1988. I think I found some errors in Donovan Strain’s calculations about when Ice Cube’s “Good Day” occurred, and explain my own findings below.
I feel somewhat silly making this my first-ever Tumblr post on an account I’ve had open, forgotten and unused, for over a year, but I was so happy two days ago when I found all the links to his original...
