What happened this weekend? April turned to May, but surely something else happened than the necessity to change our calendars.
On a compound in Pakistan....
....Osama bin Laden was killed by a US attack in which no Americans were harmed. This is an enormous triumph for America, and news about it nearly broke the Internet. This has led to increased security at LAX and other airports, in the case of an Al-Qaeda retaliation.
In Britain....
...the Royal Wedding happened. William and Kate are married now. People wore ridiculous hats. People threw parties in celebration of the wedding, even here in the States. Mr. Bean, Dr. Who, and Posh Spice were all in attendance. But this happened Friday so this bit of news is effectively as Internet-stale as the bread you dropped behind the fridge 3 months ago.
In celebrity real estate...
....Jennifer Aniston is leaving LA in favor of two adjacent condos in the West Village neighborhood of New York City. I hope at least one of them looks exactly like the condo in Friends, if not both. She is selling her 5 bedroom in Trousdale Estates for $42 million, so if you have some loose change, just a few coins and tens of millions of dollars should do, you should check it out!
In technology/social media...
....Chris McNicholl has invented what is called a "TweetingSeat" which has two cameras which capture and Tweet the action going on at that bench. So, if you ever felt like social media was invasive, you're probably all the more scared by this thing. On a personal note, I think it's both awesome and well designed, but what do I know?
