Yes, I can has cheezburger

Thumbnail image for Yes, I can has cheezburger March 1, 2010

I like to poke fun at Etsy.  It seems that for every one rea­son­able prod­uct, there are thou­sands of crafty prod­ucts that are a lit­tle too “craft.”  These include items made with pop­si­cle sticks, puffy paint, shrinky-dinks, rhine­stones, and assorted garbage.  I am also a big fan of Regretsy for this rea­son.  Until recently, I […]

The Crazy Neighbor

February 4, 2010

A cou­ple of months ago, @geekygirldawn started up a web­site called The Crazy Neigh­bor.  I guess she has a few crazy neigh­bors.  The for­mat of the site is like many oth­ers out there — I Can Has Cheezburger, Pic­ture Is Unre­lated, Graph­Jam, and so on.  Users sub­mit pho­tos and those pic­tures get posted.
While I cannot […]

Hot chicks with objectification

January 29, 2010

In lieu of an intel­li­gent post about the iPad, which will inevitably be a rehash of opin­ions found else­where on the inter­net, I present to you, dear reader, two shal­low links.  First there was Hot Chicks at Art Open­ings, and now there is Hot Chicks with Stormtroop­ers.  You’re welcome.

Podcast vs Netcast and LG Electronics

December 28, 2009

A few years ago, Apple started crack­ing down on com­pa­nies that used the term “Pod” in their name.  This occurred just as pod­cast­ing was catch­ing on to the main­stream.  Because of this, many pod­cast­ers started using the term “net­cast” to describe their shows.  Off the top of my head, these include shows from the This […]

5 October 1582

December 24, 2009

Some­thing that I remem­ber hear­ing many years ago, either in a his­tory class or read­ing in Astro­nom­i­cal Algo­rithms, was that cen­turies ago — when the con­cept of the Leap Year was first cre­ated in the reformed Gre­go­rian cal­en­dar — the pow­ers that be adjusted the cal­en­dar by a lit­tle over a week to make up […]

Twilight? You mean the ELO hit?

December 8, 2009

Before about six months ago, I had never heard of Twi­light.  Now I see it every­where.  Between Linda Mercury’s analy­sis on of the arche­type of Bella (and actu­ally, her whole series of posts loosely titled “In defense of Twi­light, even though I hate it”) and Lucy Knisley’s dis­til­la­tion of each book into four-panel comic strips […]

Big Bang Theory on Twitter –or– Sheldon vs Wil

October 29, 2009

Normally, I tend to avoid 30-minute sit­coms.  There are two, though, that get an excep­tion.  The first is How I Met Your Mother, which I may go into detail about in the future.  The sec­ond is Big Bang The­ory.  This is a great show that is incred­i­bly nerdy and extremely funny.  Despite being a smart […]

Laser cut oats

October 15, 2009

For years I have walked by the “steel cut oats” bin at the gro­cery store and thought that they need to mod­ern­ize that stuff.  It’s the 21st cen­tury.  They should be using lasers.  Those should be laser cut oats.  It seems that very soon I will be a step closer to my dreams: laser etched […]

Zombies in the Manger

October 11, 2009

The fol­low­ing zombie-manger-invasion comic comes, iron­i­cally, from the Hall­mark blog. It was just too great to not repost.

Actu­ally, if you poke around the blog, there are all kinds of great things, includ­ing the Robots with Stuff series (most recently, A Robot With Mom Jeans), ass cleaner, and their “Funny, But No” YouTube series of rejected […]

My RSS subscriptions

September 18, 2009

I got into a lunchtime dis­cus­sion of RSS today.  Appar­ently, one of my cowork­ers (hi, Helen!) had never really heard of RSS before.  As we explained the con­cept to her, we started to share some of our favorite news sites, blogs, and other things with RSS feeds.
I decided this might be of inter­est to a larger […]
