Paul Mison’s random stuff that doesn’t go elsewhere. Is it microblogging, or microactivity? (Previously known as ‘tumblr is my sock drawer’, for reasons that are somewhat unclear.)Tumblr (3.0; @blech)http://notes.husk.org/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02dhaG3zD1r5568mo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02dhaG3zD1r5568mo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://livelymorgue.tumblr.com/post/18391719612/march-4-1968-dont-call-them-paper-dresses">livelymorgue</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>March 4, 1968: “Don’t call them paper dresses,” began <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive/pdf?res=F00B11F8345D147493C3A9178FD85F4C8685F9">a report about a line of disposable dresses</a> that could be reimagined as posters.
