Friday. Hooray!

From Julie: The Catholic church gives its blessing to an iPhone confession app (hoo boy); the Royal Shakespeare Company is selling off all sorts of costumes, including slippers worn by David Tennant; and the protesters against the UK library closures are now staging sit-ins. Yay!

From Zazoo, who brought us the news of the White Stripes' breakup: "LCD Soundsystem is breaking up. Boo!" Man, 2011 is a bad year for bands so far.

From Cassandra: a look at the situation in Egypt and how technology has changed social democracy.

Good news for local weirdies: Make Cincinnati Weird has relaunched! They're on Facebook now, too.

And finally, if you haven't found the right Valentine's Day card yet, the Fake Project Corporation has some offerings.

Have a spiffy weekend, everyone! See you Monday.
