      Seattle's Flexcar merges with rival Zipcar

      Posted by Jon from Seattle Times

      The nation's largest urban car-sharing company, Cambridge, Mass.-based Zipcar, is absorbing Seattle-based Flexcar in a move that could hasten the spread of a business whose rapid growth relies on lifestyle marketing as much as its promise to save people money. Executives said Tuesday the two will combine by week's end to create a company three times the size of Flexcar, with more than 5,000 vehicles and 180,000 subscribers in 48 cities. Terms of the merger were not disclosed.

      Living And Loving In Lebanon

      Posted by Orato

      I’ve been living in Lebanon for 22 years now, my whole life. I was born during war, so all the memories and sound clashes of this horrible experience still flow in my head nowadays. I hold visions of power and resistance against all major disturbances in our society from our well-built civilization. All these years living amidst political tension prevents us from living a normal life, but we love Lebanon.

      The High Price of Twinkies: Driven By a Demon Called The Inner Fat Kid

      Posted by Orato

      I was a timid little kid. So much so that I’ve often wondered if my caesarian birth simply sprang me from that comfy womb before I was ready. By the time I was halfway through elementary school, I had managed to shield myself from the growing number of bullies with a growing armor of fat... Eventually I came to feel terribly isolated and freakish. There was only one kid in class fatter than me. Little solace; I saw my own misery in his. My parents tried to help, but it came to nothing.

      Civixen: A Blog For Bon Vivants, Potty-Mouths And Shirt-Lifters

      Posted by Orato

      Why do I blog? Believe it or not, laziness has been a great motivator. I grew increasingly fatigued of repeating all my HILARIOUS anecdotes over and over and passing around my digital camera so my drunk friends could squint at the display screen. I also spend about 27 hours a day on the Internet reading other people's blogs anyway, so it wasn't much of a stretch to find a format I liked and make the jump myself. Plus, I still haven't found...
