See all the Superbowl ads on AOL or Google. Because it’s the only reason some people watch. By the way, why does Google Video, from a company who’s Market Cap today is $114 billion, look like some middle school AV club designed it?

To get to work, J– and I have to park in a lot a little bit away from our buildings; not a bad walk for working at the U. To get to our buildings, we shoot down the parking lot and take the sidewalk (I know, stellar blogging, but hang on). The sidewalks are, well, […]

From the Boston Globe, a paper that went up a tick in my book today. HINDUS CONSIDER it sacrilegious to eat meat from cows, so when a Danish supermarket ran a sale on beef and veal last fall, Hindus everywhere reacted with outrage.

I’m filing this one under “Made Me Laugh”, mostly because you’d think they’d know by now.

As a society, we have accomplished quite a bit: cured diseases, created works of art that move people to tears, stood on our nearest satellite. But today, we have reached the pinnacle of what we can accomplish. Yes, today, men (and soon, I’m sure, women) can urinate on a tree. But not just any tree. […]

.. out of of corrugated. Ok, granted, big points for the geeky factor, minus a few points for the geeky factor, multiplied by a hell of a lot of geeky factor. I think that equals geeky, but I was never that good at solving math problems. Warning, annoying music ahead. Link [via digg]
