The temperature climbed over 100 on Tuesday, but the Twin Cities BoingBoing Meetup was still a lot of fun. (I refuse to give in to urge to make a "cool" pun.) We had probably close to 25 people who met up at one of Minneapolis' best parks--Minnehaha Falls. On a patio overlooking the waterfall, we drank good beer, had some great conversations, and shared some seriously nifty objects and ideas. In the photo above (taken by Michael Lee, who was kind enough to take some iPhone shots, as my camera is in France with my husband.) you can see Katrina Mundinger demonstrating a drop spindle--the technology that preceded the more-recognizable spinning wheel. Some other cool items: Emily Lloyd brought some local very, very short memoirs that she's collecting as part of the 6 Words Twin Cities project; Scott brought some steampunk goggles he'd made using materials from Ax-Man (The most awesome stores in the Twin Cities. Seriously. The St. Paul location has an iron lung for sale.); musician Jeremy Messersmith brought an intentionally bad poem that he successfully submitted to a vanity music label; and Will brought a 3D film camera. Hopefully, he'll figure out ... Filed under: Music Appreciation Getty Images for NAMM | NBAE via Getty Images Say what you will about TV screenwriter and producer Chuck Lorre, who's currently embroiled in the Charlie Sheen debacle now plaguing CBS's 'Two and a Half Men,' but you may not have known that Lorre has humble beginnings as a workingman guitarist. Vanity Card #202 on Lorre's site reveals that an episode of 'The Big Bang Theory' was actually inspired by the writer's chance meeting with jazz phenom Pat Metheny, whose new record, 'What's It All About,' features tunes from the likes of Paul Simon and Burt Bacharach. "It was an imploding feeling, like the kind you get when your ego is being demolished like an old Vegas casino," Lorre revealed. "Thankfully, the feeling was accompanied by a soft, reassuring voice in my head that whispered, 'Find work in television, nobody's a prodigy there.'" The DASH diet got number 1 ratings by US News & World Report, followed by the Mediterranean diet - for overall benefits. If your aim is simply to lose some weight, then Weight Watchers is the winner, followed by the Raw Food Diet. People diet for various reasons, perhaps vanity, to simply lose weight, as part of treatment for a medical condition, such as diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), or hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), or to improve athletic performance. The DASH diet scored (out of 5): Overall - 4 Weight loss (short-term) - 3... It could be a vanity purchase or a bargain buy - a high-priced bid to pose at any time with your very own professional sports franchise, or a shrewd play to scoop up a big-market team at a discount price, experts said.

June 6 - An engagement is possibly "on the cards" soon for Pippa Middleton, says Vanity Fair royal writer. Cindy Martin reports. He had quite the fun-filled evening at last night's MTV Movie Awards (June 5) and Robert Pattinson had a little something for everyone. The "Remember Me" stud made out with Taylor Lautner and gave Reese Witherspoon an f-bomb-flavored speech about their work together. Rob noted that Reese played his mother in "Vanity Fair," though his part in the flick was cut out thanks to her. Then he stated that she played his lover in "Water For Elephants," declaring, "I didn't cut you, but I did f**k you!" Whilst Talking About Getting Sexy With Reese Witherspoon... ...she might look something like this. (_Vanity Fair_; photo by Elliott Erwiit) Justin Timberlake recently reunited with ex Jessica Biel, but the two aren't necessarily getting back together! The 30-year-old singer and 29-year-old actress arrived and left a party separately on Thursday (June 2) in Brentwood, Calif. "There was no PDA, but they were talking to each other for a while. They ate and sat next to each other," [...] Vanity Fair: > On touring and making new music: "I wouldn't say I'm not going to put out another album. I would say that would be a bad bet, if you were betting. But I could see myself only doing one more big tour." > > On being a superstar at a young age: "It was exciting that we were having so much success and we could do whatever we wanted. And I mean that about everybody: Backstreet Boys, 'NSync, Britney, Christina…At that time, we could literally go, 'Oh, man, let's go to Bali,' and we'd be on a plane to Bali. We were little kids with big toys. Some very big toys. You do the math—that's not going to last.Ryan [Gosling] and I used to steal golf carts and go driving in the middle of the park to get milk shakes, and we never got in trouble for it. We thought we were big shit." > > Read and comment. From vanityfair.com. Before there was a Bieber, the original teen Justin runnin' thangs was Timberfake-y… And he's not gonna let you forget it!
