Top Ten Reasons You Should Quit Facebook
After several years of stubborn resistance, I finally caved and joined Facebook a couple of months ago. Despite the thrill of locating some long-lost high-school chums, I almost immediately regretted my decision. This Gizmodo article does a fine job of summarizing my concerns.

Weekend Matinee: Flashman (1967)
Flashman is a terrible Italian flick from the Sixties about a clumsy masked crimefighter who hangs out with a ditsy hippie chick and battles a crime-lord who's stolen an invisibility formula. The best thing about this turkey is the theme song, a sublime mix of spy-jazz and Batman.

Tupperware for Saints
Reliquaries are containers created to hold religious objects, particularly the relics of Catholic saints. They are usually beautifully wrought works of art in their own right, and often depict the relic that they contain, like the foot of Adalhard van Corbin and the skull of Charlemagne (both shown above). Some wag I know once called them "Tupperware for Saints."
In my travels, I never pass up an opportunity to visit museums, cathedrals, and other sacred sites that maintain reliquary collections. The Domschatz in Aachen, Germany and the Museum Catharijnecovent in Utrecht, Holland have some particularly fine specimens of the art. You can see more of my reliquary postcards in the extended entry.
