The ubiquitous multi-touch edge-to-edge displays and pv-celled roofs are cool, but I think my favorite thing about the future is that all adults will be attractive and all children well-behaved. HT Mashable
There are a few things they could have done to help themselves gain votes with Floridians: Campaigning here in August instead of January. Florida in January is a no-brainer. Who really wants it? Participating in a spelling bee with only Spanish words. Having a first name that isn’t a four-letter word. Having a first name that sounds like a name instead of an inanimate object. Lobbying consulting with the National Read More ...
Sad day. Whether you are with Apple or again’ ‘em, you have to admit that Steve Jobs did more that any other single person to raise our expectations of Apple and every other tech company. And now, a 1984 episode of “The Facts of Life” entitled “Dear Apple” where Jo has a Siri-esque conversation with a computer named “Steve”. “The Facts of Life” writers were visionaries as well.
If you watched the GOP debate last night, you are probably worried. I heard one analyst mention that there’s a political void right now in politics (on “both” sides). I know these candidates all have consultants who are highly paid and know more about politics than me, but let me tell you what would have struck a chord last night–focus on the economy. When I say focus, I mean that Read More ...
Amazon has released even more movies and TV shows for Prime subscribers today, including the last 7 seasons of Sesame Street. Cool! We ditched cable about a year and a half ago and are exclusively streaming stuff from Netflix, Amazon, and Pandora through our Roku box. No regrets, and we haven’t looked back. There’s a ton of good children’s programming available that way, and the adults in the house only Read More ...
I’m so excited about this upcoming royal wedding. Really…seriously. I am. It just got me thinking about the great weddings in history of American Royalty. Jesse Ventura’s commentary in the first video is classic: “Do the rings go on fingers or in noses?” “Looks like two carp in the Mississippi River going after the same piece of corn” Uncle Elmer’s Wedding by TSteck160 And of course, who could forget this Read More ...
…this video is boring. For the rest of us, it’s 100% nuts. Make sure you watch it in full screen. You’re going to be holding your breath most of the way through it, but try to remember to breathe. Your body is going to need air in order to keep saying, “OMG! OMG! OMG!” VCA 2010 RACE RUN from changoman on Vimeo. HT Gadling
Facts: Labor Day and Memorial Day are the two best holidays. They feel like Sundays, but Chick-fil-A is open. Waffle fries can hold ketchup in the airy spaces between potato. Regular fries can’t do that. Chick-fil-A sandwiches don’t come with mayo by default, so you don’t have to worry about them soaking your bread with disgustingness accidentally. HT @couponkatie
This is pretty cool. My guess is that there aren’t any other departments on campus that could afford to do this. When I say “do this”, I’m not talking about building the Training Center…of course they couldn’t do that. I mean that I doubt they could afford to produce this video. Maybe the Film Studies Department could do it on the backs of undergrad labor as a special project. HT Read More ...
I guess I’m supposed to feel outraged. Oddly, “relief” is the word I would choose to describe it. Finally, someone with experience and ability seems to be in control. Added bonus–Bill Clinton actually wants to be President. Notice how he immediately leans on the podium and starts fielding questions. Obama no longer wants this job. Maybe he never wanted it in the first place. It seems like he’s doing everything Read More ...
