Computers make our lives easier. No other medium allows us to communicate or manage information more effectively. They’re like genies, putting the world at our fingertips with a minimum of hassle. What a great age we live in to have such a wonderfully convenient tool at our disposal. Yeah, right. If you believe any of [...]
I just discovered the Chewbacca blog yesterday and man was I impressed. Who would have ever thought that a wookiee could be so eloquent? I guess they must have a good educational system on Endor, because Chewbacca definitely comes off as much more well-spoken than most Kashyyyk-born wookiees. Seriously, the ewok who taught him to [...]
Tucker Max is a horrible, depraved person. He gets drunk, sleeps around, commits crimes, you name it. Seriously, he’s bad news. His only saving grace is that he writes about his misadventures. Much like the Tard Blog, you just can’t help but laugh at the Tucker Max Stories for all the wrong reasons. As Project [...]
Apparently, if you put Mentos into Diet Coke, you get a pretty energetic reaction. I could go into the chemistry behind it, but, well, I don’t like chemistry (sorry, Mrs. Hamilton). What I do like are fountains of Diet Coke set up to produce ingenious chain reactions. Just think, all of this was caused by [...]
It’s nice when something genuinely funny happens in your real life instead of just getting to read about other peoples’ humorous experience. Happy day, I finally have my own anecdote. I was sitting in my office the other day having a conversation with a work buddy. We were discussing the coming winter months. I said, [...]
The more I see come out of Microsoft nowadays, the more it looks like an empire ready to crumble under its own weight. Maybe I’m just a biased Google fanboy, but this video seems to indicate otherwise. My wife sent it to me at work and it was all I could do to keep from [...]
It’s a crass but accurate classification, I think. I’ve recently refined my definition. Someone who doesn’t know something, even something that’s common sensical or obvious, is ignorant. Someone who’s sure that they’re right despite their ignorance is just plain stupid. That being established, I Stumbled around yesterday and found several prime examples of stupid people. [...]
Ctrl+Alt+Del is a comic strip about Ethan, a video game addict to whom I can relate more than I care to admit. I first discovered it while customizing my Google homepage during a slow day at work. I nearly fell out of my chair trying to stifle my own laughter. My wife had a similar [...]
This showed up in one of my news feeds today. My wife and I almost fell out of our seats laughing so hard. Don’t worry; there’s nothing particularly offensive about it, except for a tiny bit of profanity. The entire video was choreographed in World of Warcraft, and supposedly references Sesame Street in a lude [...]
I was cleaning off my computer recently when I came across this video clip. It was a piece that my college graphics professor used as an example, although I think it was mostly just a break from the mind-numbing boredom of the subject. One can’t help but feel sorry for the Alaskan knick knack, even [...]
