Four Friday Diversions

1. I'm with Mario Batali on this one: "I wear [Crocs] because they’re the most comfortable thing and I don’t give a fuck about fashion. I like fashion on other people.”

2. This Maira Kalman piece is positively sublime. Do not miss it!

3. Someone has taken the time to condense all of Shakespeare's plays into Twitter-friendly (140-character) synopses. (Dang, I should've posted this yesterday, on the Bard's birthday.)

4. Attention bracketologists: Now you can create your own Bracket Smackdown—or browse brackets others have constructed. (It's a promotional thingy for the book The Final Four of Everything.)
