    It never ceases to amaze me just how uniformed (ignorant?) so many people are.

    The Titanic Was Real, Not Just A Movie

    The Titanic tragedy will turn 100 years old this week, and all of the media coverage surrounding the sad anniversary seems to have shocked some people who never knew the Titanic was anything more than a movie. Below, a few gems from real life humans who have somehow escaped all knowledge of the historic event until recently-prior to this month, they had no idea the ship was real, and that it sunk, like, IRL. Sigh x infinity! “My Sigh Will Go On!” ETC.

    but I just want to tell you so far so good on the mac wireless keyboard.  It’s an essential blogging tool for an iPad.  I don’t know how the other keyboards stack up, but this just automatically worked when I turned the bluetooth on.  So I am typing at my own speed and the mistakes you see are r mistakes I’d normally make, not added mistakes.
