Monday Puzzle: Backdating | NYTimes.com →
So go ahead and party. Uncork the bubbly at midnight and kiss your special one at the moment the ball drops. But don’t party so hard that you can’t do it again in a couple of days. You see, something numerically rare and special is going to happen on the second day of the New Year, which falls conveniently on a Saturday.

Disney's "Wild Hogs" Sequel Stalls Out →
skeetonmischa:
In what marks the third high-profile film that Disney has halted since Rich Ross took the studio reins, “Wild Hogs 2: Bachelor Ride” has been scrapped.
People, we have to embrace the little victories in the world and just hope that all of these little victories like the scrapping of a sequel to Wild Hogs may in fact lead to bigger moral victories down the road.

Great thanks CBS you have officially ruined Christmas. First “Guiding Light” and now “As the World Turns”?! MY...
WatchKid Cudi ft. MGMT and Ratatat - “Pursuit of Happiness” (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I officially spent 30 minutes this morning looking for a copy of this video that would work. I love this song and am convinced that these three collaborated solely to make my dreams come true.

Dear Tumblr community:
I recently began practicing as a real live attorney in Atlanta. In an effort to resolve my current ‘lack of projects problem’, I decided to write an article about small business entity formation in Georgia.
There are some pictures, but otherwise it’s not very entertaining - however, I’m hoping that some of the small business owners out there might find it...
