About: We’re taking a break for a couple of days. Be back soon.

  • We love you guys, but we need a break. We’ve been posting on ShortFormBlog for over a year straight. The last day we missed was Feb. 2, 2009. And well, we have a good flow. But for purposes of our own mental health, we’re taking a break starting tonight, lasting until tomorrow, likely to be broken Sunday morning (something about a health care vote) and unbroken until Monday. We love you guys, but we think our posting quality will go up after a day or two off. (thanks Columbusneon for the image) source
  • Edit: We plan on posting today (Sunday, March 21) about nothing BUT health care. Everything else (including Ben Folds doing Chatroulette, which is hilarious) is off-limits today.

Offbeat: Laid off? This dream job would be a good rebound

  • Island living, nice salary … … ever wanted to live by the ocean, spend your days snorkeling, feeding fish, delivering a little mail and scuba diving? Look no further than the job being offered by the state of Queensland, Australia. They created the job as an antidote to the economic slump, because they’re awesome.
  • The requirements? Cake. The job, which last six months, pays $150,000 Australian dollars and accommodation in a luxury house, is open to anyone with a passion for the Great Barrier Reef. All you have to do is send a video application and beat out the hundreds of other people assuredly applying. Good luck. source
