“Kristy, Are You Doing Okay?” Just fine, actually. Why do you ask?

If you like Minesweeper and you have an iPhone, you need this game. Between this and Bejeweled, I’ll never be bored again. It’s got your classic Minesweeper, sure, but it’s also got three other variations on the theme. I like “Imposter” the best, where you have to spot the aliens hiding amongst the boulders. Rodd prefers the hardest one of the bunch: “Rocket Shuffle.” It’s as if the columns on a normal Minesweeper board were shuffled like a slot machine, and you have to line them up the correct away again. He got the logic of it immediately, but it takes me a lot longer to recognize the patterns. There’s also a “challenge” mode at the end where you have to progress through 100 of the other challenges. The graphics and sounds are great, but my favorite thing is the trophy wall where you unlock achievements. Seriously, this is one of the best apps I’ve purchased. (And it’s on sale now!)

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Abridged). All seven seasons in three minutes and twenty seconds.

Zooborns – pictures of exotic baby animals from around the world. TOTAL CUTENESS OVERLOAD. And what’s more, they have a free iPhone app! I can look at baby elephants and lemurs and gorillas wherever I go!

What the hell? Summer Roberts is marrying Anakin Skywalker? I am agog.

MetaFilter wonders: Which one is the hip pocket? My gut reaction was the front pocket, but the sources seem pretty conclusive that it’s the rear.

Note to self: Use Aurebesh in a knitting pattern sometimes for maximum geekitude.

I kinda always liked Yoko Ono, though I didn’t know much about her. I just had this vague idea that she was a cool yet wacky Asian chick who did her own thing. I felt a vague sense of feminist annoyance whenever people blamed her for breaking up the Beatles. I also really like Dar Williams’s song “I Won’t Be Your Yoko Ono”. Then a few weeks ago, I stumbled across Yoko’s Twitter feed and decided to follow her. I guess I thought it would be pretty funny, because obviously she’d be a weirdo, you know? But instead I think it’s fantastic. She posts these whimsical, childlike notes every day or two. I don’t know if it’s part of a performance, or whether she really is like that. But then today came THE BEST THING: she posted her 25 things list. I absolutely love it. She starts off talking about feet and shoes and face creams and gloves and then moves on to John and Martians and war and daydreams and gods and dinosaurs. I know that sounds terribly twee and contrived, but really it’s not. She’s much more interesting than I ever gave her credit for.
