- War Dog:
Dogs have been fighting alongside U.S. soldiers for more than 100 years, seeing combat in the Civil War and World War I. But their service was informal; only in 1942 were canines officially inducted into the U.S. Army. Today, they’re a central part of U.S. efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan — as of early 2010 the U.S. Army had 2,800 active-duty dogs deployed (the largest canine contingent in the world). And these numbers will continue to grow as these dogs become an ever-more-vital military asset. [via]

October songs
How can it be November already? October was both a very long and very short month. Here’s what I was listening to while it swept/crawled by:
- “Romance” by Wild Flag
- “My Own Little World” by Mocean Worker (feat. Lyrics Born)
- “Somebody that I Used to Know” by Gotye (feat. Kimbra)
- “It’s Raining” by Inara George
- “1977” by Anita Tijoux
- “Crapa Pelada” by Quartetto Cetra
- “Paper Bag” by Fiona Apple
- “Shake a Bone” by Son of Dave
- “So Far from the Cylde” by Mark Knopfler
- “Still Alive” by Jonathan Coulton & GlaDOS
- “I Want You to Want Me” by Gary Jules
- “Ready for the Storm” by Dougie MacLean
- “Love and Blessings” by Paul Simon
- “Walk this World” by Heather Nova
You take Breaking Bad, Bridesmaids, and the two Portal games out of the equation, and you easily lose half of those songs.
