An Interview with TMFKabellen

Last updated: 1/3/2012
The Fool:
In what way would society be different if bears had become the dominant sentient species?
TMFKabellen:
Designer bear shoes would cost a lot more money.
The Fool:
Your greatest fear? Any neurotic ones (agoraphobia, triskaidekaphobia, etc.)?
TMFKabellen:
I am scared of moths. I have learned that this is called mottephobia. :)
The Fool:
List some of your favorite websites, with commentary where appropriate. (Please provide the URLs, too.)
TMFKabellen:
Kottke (www.kottke.org) links to interesting things so you don't have to; Tomato Nation (www.tomatonation.com) has the world's greatest advice column; Girls Are Pretty (www.girlsarepretty.com) has some of the best writing on the Web; and Achewood (www.achewood.com) employs the principles of hopping instead of rolling.
