The Merry Drinker by Frans Hals.

Wikipedia provides articles on everything from the UGA literary societies to Truthiness. But, this article on “Drinking Culture” stands out.

Generally, people drink for one or more of six reasons — to quench thirst, to get drunk, to enjoy a social occasion (social drinking), to enjoy the taste of an alcoholic beverage, to participate in a religious or traditional ceremony or custom, or because they are alcoholics.

A new way to blog about things.

Almost everyone has a blog. And almost everyone goes weeks or months at a time where they post nothing on their personal blog out of sheer lack of ideas. That’s where Plinky comes into play.

Plinky is a simple concept: A question is posted each day for you and answer and then publish (with rather nice formatting) via whatever means you choose. They support Blogger, Wordpress, Tumblr, Twitter and just about every other free/not-so-free content publishing platform out there. Here’s an example post from Plinky on my Tumblr.
