I found Neatorama through BoingBoing and for a while I read both. After a short while though the pretentiousness and hipster nonsense wore on me and I started reading Neatorama exclusively.

Neatorama is so great because it is a consistently updated blog with great content. Boingboing updates frequently but about 90% of it's posts I couldn't care less about. Oh, and BoingBoingTV is absolutely abysmal...

Places Amy ISN'T from:
Germany
France
New York (especially terrible on this one)
South Carolina

Lobster claw cracker!

I traveled to Ukraine in 2002 and the graffiti I saw there blew me away. Your post here was a nice reminder of that trip...thanks!

I think it's the ceramic separator they put between different high tension wires to insure they don't touch one another as they travel from pole to pole.
