Arbitrary Obsessions. Cities. History. Music. Feminism. Maami-isms. Patterns. Halwa. Identities. Free Verse. The Internets.
So how is Yahoo 360 anyway?
While us lesser mortals are waiting to be invited to the public beta testing, it looks like err.. the movers and shakers have had a look at it. An interesting review by Danah Boyd makes me look forward to this. Does it mean finally, there is a semblance of integration. [...]

Just love the bit belly buttons metamorphosis into mouths, and the absolute rubbishness of the advertisement. And I cannot stop humming it. As a result, the people in the workstations around mine, [...]
