Did you catch the short online comedy series "Black Girl in a Big Dress," about the life-and-dating misadventures of a young African American woman who loves Victorian cosplay? It's got Mefites' linen unders all aflutter.

I want to be a better manager. What did your best manager do? What about your worst?
I want to write in a realistic way about how people meet. How did you meet your significant other?
I want to understand typical people's day-to-day schedules, how they stick to plans, what are realistic daily goals. How did you spend your day?
MetaFilter started as a community weblog in 1999, later added question and answers, then music by members, jobs, projects by members, a podcast, and finally an area dedicated to meetups.
