On the road…

August 28th, 2010 No Comments

I’ll be moving home in the next week or so (including a 2500km-ish drive) so updates will likely be non-existant. Twitter updates if anything, but international data charges are beyond stupid so I’ll probably have the phone off. Hopefully I’ll have some fun pics once I’m home at least.

I never knew that Roger Ebert was such a good writer…

I’ve been in school a long time. A really long time. Even when you consider that I took some time off it’s been way too long. At long last, it is coming to an end (cross your fingers) this December. Exactly four months from today marks the end of the December exam period and the [...]

What were they smoking? Totally old news but recently randomly discovered Check out this Wikipedia entry about a superhero team known as Section 8. Note the altogether bizarre heroes. Of particular note: Dogwelder: A thin, silent man in a welder’s mask who spot welds dead canines to evildoers. The Defenestrator: A large, burly man … [...]

So the Favre saga is over for another year as number 4 is back with the Purple and Gold for one more (dare we say last?) run at a Super Bowl. As a Vikings fan, I have to say I’m pretty happy he’s back. Even though his stupid throwning error at the end of the [...]

Earworms (Commercial Edition)

August 13th, 2010 No Comments

In the vein of the earlier earworm post I have a more important question… Is there anything more insidious than that very special brand of commercial that finds a nook and simply won’t leave your head for hours or days after you hear it? United Furniture Warehouse has even had campaigns based around singing the [...]

Three Quick Hits: Tron Edition

August 7th, 2010 No Comments

Check out these amazing temperature sensitive glass tiles. Their website has a number of pretty funky uses for them but I think my favorite is the shower setup. Definitely like a mood ring for your walls, they’d probably make an excellent kitchen backsplash. The only downside? At $33 for a 4×4 tile, I’m looking at [...]

Roadrage

Is there anything worse than being on a 1-lane highway? Up until now you’ve been cruising down a two lane divided, people are moving at a decent pace. Maybe you’re in a hurry, maybe you’re not, but you’ll get there reasonably close to when you expected. Then you lose a lane… Instantly, every 5th driver [...]
