– Marvel’s soliciting the YouTube community for the best comic-inspired costumes. Get dressed, flip your camera on and keep your videos down to a minute. Beyond licensing an entire suite of heroes and villains to Hollywood, I guess that’s one way to stay relevant.

– Got VD? The decent thing to do would be to tell everybody you slept with, so they can check if they have it too. But don’t sweat it too much; this is the digital age! Send those hutches an e-card. (Thanks Adrants reader Candace.)

– Not quite The West Side Story, but it’s Macs and PCs, so almost the same thing.

– Speaking of PCs, what’s a rival to do when Apple wows the crowd with those sassy new Nanos? Why, zodiac-themed Zunes! Of course!

– And before we get completely off the topic of vying companies, read up on the epic battle between Twitter and Yammer. (Thanks Adrants reader Atif!)

– French President Nicolas Sarkozy is all pissy-pissy because some ingrate with a sense of humour launched voodoo dolls in his likeness. Lighten up, champ. It’s the American way.

– Meghan McCain makes the blogosphere cream itself. Maybe she should’ve been tapped for Veep.

Many adult children remember watching a father work sixty-hour weeks for decades so the family could have what he never did, then watched him die in his sixties without ever prioritizing his own happiness, and now see that same pattern quietly repeating in their own lives, under a different name.
