Property of Jolene
Meet Curtis Allgier, a 27-year-old murderer who is affiliated with the Aryan Brotherhood. If that isn't enough, he is also "Property of Jolene".
As If I Wasn't Apprehensive Enough
While I totally love chugging Mountain Dew and Root Beer from the same collector cup as everyone else and I may miss the smell of funnel cake they pump through the entire park... planning for the annual trip to Six Flags Great America has officially been put on hold!
Girl Loses Feet In Amusement Park Accident
Witness: Cable on thrill ride 'snapped' The Associated PressPublished on: 06/22/07
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A witness said an amusement park accident in Kentucky occurred when a cable on a thrill ride snapped. A 13-year-old girl's feet were severed in Thursday's accident on the Superman Tower of Power ride at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville. Chris Dinnette was riding one car over from the girl who was hurt. He told WAVE television he heard what he thought were screams of excitement. But then he saw a cable "come back and hit a lot of people" and realized he was hearing screams of horror. The ride lifts passengers 177 feet straight up, then drops 154 feet, reaching a speed of 54 miles per hour, according to the park's Web site.
The ride has been closed indefinitely.

After years of paying top dollar for low quality bootlegs, Tori Amos diehards now have an alternative. Six live bootleg recordings were released in the fall of 2005. Each bootleg is a double-disc package brimming with live rarities, fan favorites and stunning cover versions. Each set was recorded live during her "Original Sinsuality Tour". All six are available on iTunes.

Recently On Kottke.org
A bunch of writers pick their favorite novel -> movie adaptations.
Unforgettable photos, some of the most striking and disturbing photographs ever taken.
Hot 100 women chosen by lesbians. A nice counterpoint to similar lists from Maxim and People.
Photos of people from around the world and the food that they eat during the course of a week.
100 words every high school graduate should know. Alternate title: 100 mostly useless words.
Popular names for twins born in 2006. Almost all of the top name pairs start with the same letter: Jacob/Joshua, Landon/Logan, Ella/Emma, and the stunningly confusing Taylor/Tyler.
Play dress-up with the Gucci spring 2007 collection. Drag and drop dresses, shoes, and handbags onto the model. Many other collections are available as well.
Slang of the 90s.
List of the seven most overrated Hollywood actors, including Ben Kingsley, Kate Hudson, and Ben Stiller, a personal unfavorite of mine.
Comparison between food pictured in fast food advertising and how the food looks when you actually get it from the restaurant. The Whopper is particularly beauty and the beast.

Coincidence?
Apple iPhone -
Release Date, June 29, 2007 - My Birthday, June 29, 2007
Ho-ly shit. The Apple iPhone ($499-$599 w/contract; June 2007) is one of the most awesome pieces of technology we've ever seen. Coming in 4GB and 8GB varieties, the iPhone will use GSM/EDGE technology through Cingular and also sports a 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR. But the big deal is the touchscreen interface that runs a lite version of Apple's Mac OS X. With OS X as the underpinnings, Apple has created fantastic interfaces for phone functions, music (think iPod 2.0) and photos, as well as for mobile email (with push service provided by Yahoo! Mail) and web browsing. Long story short? It's going to be the must-have device for a long, long time. (Uncrate)
