Funny numbers

Posted on

Let’s say you are bored and want to dial some fun. Why don’t you call 719-266-2837? I decided to press “3” for a little pick-me-up. That didn’t make you smile? Then try 772-257-4501. Still not smiling? Then, you should try 212-660-2245 because I’ve got nothing for you. Single men and women – you might want […]

Geeky Love

Posted on

In honor of Valentine’s Day, when hundred’s of thousands of geeks feel lonely and unloved, I suggest that you cut and paste the following equation into a Google search box: sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4. If that didn’t make you smile, then what about a guy dressed as Bender proposing in binary code? […]

Ever need to develop a pattern as a place holder, filler, background and didn’t know how? Well then, the Patternizer is for you. From the creator, who happens to be a co-worker of mine: “All patterns are saved with the URL patternizer.com/username/pattern , and each time you save, it creates a new version /1 or […]

A little while back I read about an 11 minute exercise routine that both Prince Charles and William engage in each morning that is or was mandated by the military at some point and now they just do it to get in tip-top shape, or something like that. In case you didn’t know, I have […]

The Sh*t |Insert Type of Person Here| Say Meme

Posted on

Memes are an interesting little phenomenon – I love how quickly they can take off, like how a video one day can have zero views and the next day have over a million views. The most recent meme to catch on like wild fire is the “Shit |INSERT TYPE OF PERSON HERE| Say” meme. It […]

On Information

Posted on

The reason why I have a blog is to provide information. The Wash Post had an interesting point about the history of published information, and the point of the column is to talk about how our informational commons is for the most part built atop a latticework of advertising platforms. In that way, it’s possible […]

Closing Out The War Tab

Posted on

Last week the war in Iraq, a long hard slog, something that I’ve commented a lot about over the past decade, finally ended (at least officially). This war has cost us more than we will ever know, but the easiest and hopefully-not-but-who-knows-it-very-well-might-happen way of tabulating the cost is saying that it’s all down hill from […]

212

Posted on

Azealia Banks is an unsigned 20 year Harlem born rapper whose debut song “212” is ridiculously good. Right now you can’t buy it anywhere but its a huge club hit and Pitchfork named it one of the 10 best songs of the year. Three days ago I had never heard of her. Since that time, […]

Outdated Videos That Are Still Awesome

Posted on

This post is a literal “lift and shift” of content that I received from Flavorpill. The post was titled “Outdated Videos That Are Still Awesome” and was written by Contributing Editor Tom Hawking and yeah, I cribbed his title and content but hey, I gave credit! Also, while their post had 10 videos, I only […]
