Frustrated in your negotiations over your next meetings contract? Annoyed that the hotel salesperson you’d been working with for months suddenly up and left and now you’re starting back at square one with a newbie? Hey, life is full of disappointments and frustrations. That’s why today is get over it day. (The site is very cute, but the video does contain some hand gestures, nudity, and other stuff that might offend the easily offended.)

File this one under weird obsessions: People who collect vintage motel postcards. Pictured here: Kirby’s Motel in Rochester, N.Y., circa 1970s, from Guy Clinch’s collection. Also of note:
James Lileks’ state-by-state collection, and the Great Postcard Hunt blog. Not quite as weird as the guy who collects do-not-disturb signs, but close.

A guy named Brad gets peeved about how his luggage always is getting searched when he flies. So he creates this packing tape

so, as he says, “Now, when they open my luggage, they will have to literally slice the 4th amendment in half in order to do this.” There’s lots of interesting discussion in the comments on his post about whether airline luggage searches are unconstitutional or not, but if you like this idea, you can buy the tape at the Electronic Frontier Foundation store.
