Of course, there are parts we can’t replicate: the satisfying crinkle of the paper; the circular stain of your coffee; the smell of newsprint.
Famous writers and drinks are inseparable, despite the price some paid for the vice. Ernest Hemingway loved the Mojito, William Faulkner had his mint juleps, and F. Scott Fitzgerald was convinced gin was the way to go (he thought its smell would be undetectable on his breath). Hemingway & Bailey's Bartending Guide delves into the drinking habits of America's top writers to reveal their favorite cocktails. Steve Inskeep talks with author Mark Bailey and illustrator Edward Hemingway -- grandson of the writer -- about their new book. Below are excerpts from the guide, including cocktail recipes, drinking stories and writers' famous passages about imbibing.
"There are many types of stinky cheeses in the world and they all smell so bad that they make your dirty socks smell like expensive cologne. So picking the smelliest ones was no easy feat, but we’ve done it, so put on your gas-masks as we count down the top 10."
We reported on Thursday that MTV Networks was close to announcing plans for a new social network; later that night, Fortune unveiled more details of the project. This is a new Viacom (MTV Networks parent company) endeavor called Flux, which is growing out of what once was Tagworld. Rather than being a "destination" social network, Flux is a distributed platform of social-media features that will be installed on select Viacom niche sites (like the Subterranean Blog, which we pointed out in our original post). It's powered by Social Project, the company formerly known as Tagworld, which Viacom invested in last year. What this really resembles is MyBlogLog, the start-up purchased by Yahoo that adds social-networking features to blogs by letting visitors see who else is reading a site. It appears that Flux, however, will have stronger social features; it also won't be restricted to MTV Networks. A note on Flux.com says the platform "is robust enough for large media companies, such as MTV Networks, and flexible enough for influencer blog sites like Aquarium Drunkard, Vinyl Pulse and X1." We smell advertising opportunities. Some Viacom divisions are also launching smaller social-networking initiatives; MTV's Think MTV activism-oriented vertical site, for example, now allows interested users to sign up for the beta version of a community site. It's not clear whether these will be Flux-ified or not.
Did you even wonder what printing pages feel like? They are warm from fuser heat and smell like… well, they, probably, smell of just fused toner. Boring, right? Now imagine if a page you got took from printer gives off fragrances of lavender or roses. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet a perfumed printer.
In the second part of his series, Simon Griffin delves into the specifics of what IE7 means for your page content and styling.
Smell is a specialised chemical sense. It is interesting to note that the olfactory cells are the only place in the human body where the central nervous system is in direct contact with the external environment.

Unlike other bots, Alex doesn't try to mimic a single personality. Every run creates a 'Genuine People Personality' with a different name, appearance, family, tastes in books and films, favourite colour and smell, least favourite colour and smell and different amounts of knowledge about books, films and geography. Every run is a new person!
