I Broke My MacBook Pro

February 19, 2009

So, I have this backpack that holds my laptop in a zippered pouch on the back, and all of my awesome camera gear on the front. Of course, the primary security mechanism for the laptop is a zipper to actually hold it inside when you walk around. Yeah. This is what happens when you don’t [...]

Did You Know? A Philosophical Video for the 21st Century

February 19, 2009

Fantastic video on the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman, remixed. I actually thought I posted this video previously, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Even if I did, it’s worth taking another look. The concept of the video is to throw out statistics at you [...]

WordPress’ Newest Data Center

February 17, 2009

For those of you who don’t know Barry, he’s the mastermind behind the infrastructure that powers WordPress and all of their various services (Akismet, bbPress, Gravatar, etc.). He seriously knows a lot about hosting infrastructure, as he demonstrated when he gave this lecture about WordPress performance at WordCamp SanFrancisco 2007. Anyway, this morning he posted [...]

My, How History Repeats Itself

February 17, 2009

So what have we learned in two millennia? “The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on [...]

Thumbnail image for Walkie Tonky – the Robot Smash ‘em Up Game

I just found a great little game folks. The only problem with this one is that you have to download and install it. You can’t play it on the Web. Also, I believe it’s only for the PC. But having said that, the concept is quite fun. You’re a robot that was dropped off on [...]

The ‘In a Snuggie’ Video From Mikey and Big Bob Rocks Hard!

February 14, 2009

Got this little tip from MC Hammer over on Twitter… Pittsburgh has got some crazy DJs over on the 96.1 Kiss Morning Freak Show named Mikey and Big Bob who put out a little diddy called “In a Snuggie”. Wait, don’t tell me you don’t know what a Snuggie is! It’s one of those blankets [...]

Folks, just until the end of the day tomorrow (Valentine’s Day… you DID remember, didn’t you?) Amazon is giving away Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On for free. Yep. I tried it myself, and it worked. So feel free to follow this banner link to get it. But you really need to do it within [...]

Funny Foods From the Asian Market

February 13, 2009

Ok, ok. I know what a bunch of you are going to say, so I’ll get it out of the way so you don’t have to… This blog is racist! What have you got against Asian food? Um, since there are like 2 billion Asians and only a few white people, did you ever consider [...]
