This image is doing the rounds today, and I feel I’d be remiss if I didn’t take the opportunity to make a “hey dawg, I heard you liked ships, so I put ships on your ship to give you extra ships” meme reference. For those of you who like the stories behind things too, Jalopnik has a short article full of links about the MV Blue Marlin, the pictured semi-submersible carrier, which has moved both the USS Cole and the startlingly-named Thunder Horse PDQ oil rig.

quote 22:15:05
“ The internet is still a pretty daunting place and most of us have this nagging feeling that we are bluffing, that we deep down have no idea what’s going on. It’s still a new technology and we don’t know what to expect in much the same way that our newly-literate ancestors didn’t know what to expect from the printed media or its future possibilities. Memes in this way can be seen as the internet equivalent of serialized novels. Memes are meant to be repetitive, archetypal and easily reproducible and remixable. New memes build on or reference this archive that we have accumulated over the years. Recognizing the patterns gives us a sense of belonging, that we belong to a growing community that feels comfortable sharing cat pictures with captions, even moving pictures, like GIFs. Or uploading talkies to YouTube. It’s a way of easing us into this new world. ”

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.)
