What’s that cruise ship doing?

Okay, maybe it’s not the cruise ship we need to worry about.
Check out WNBC’s Sue Simmons dropping the F-bomb (she later apologized in the 11pm newscast) during a newsbreak around 10:26pm on Monday night.

Maybe it’s not Skynet, but…

Upon first read, many people will probably look at this piece by Josh Freed in the Montreal Gazette about how technology - specifically the Internet - isn’t exactly making anyone smarter, and shrug it off as being somewhat out there. But take a second look, think about your day-to-day life, and you’ll see that it’s […]

What’s your reason for things?

A few days ago, I read this amazing post by Brian Clark over at copyblogger about what inspires him. It’s one part trauma, one part love(s) of his life, and one part wake-up-call, and it all adds up to a pretty amazing story about how copyblogger came to be.

Now that’s what I’m talking about

I hate the fact that I can’t point to ONE thing that The Onion has published that doesn’t absolutely kill me. This op-ed from yesterday features “Philip Coddington,” who says that “I’m The Denzel Washington In Training Day Of Booking Plane Tickets Online.”
Wow.
I think the joke here is that this is how people look at […]

Spoofing the MacBook Air commercial

Earlier today, I landed a tip from the Viralbomb mailing list about the video below, featuring a “devious” commercial for the MacBook Air.

It’s kind of an interesting way to tell people that they don’t need to buy a new laptop just for the sake of buying a new laptop and discarding what they’ve got. And, […]

Listening to The Slip

A few days ago, Nine Inch Nails announced the “release” of a new record, The Slip, on the band’s site. As of this moment, the post has received more than 8700 Diggs and more than 5500 comments to the posting. This comes just a short while after NIN’s Ghosts release, which Rolling Stone noted made […]

Iron Man: My Thoughts

First off, let me just say that Robert Downey, Jr. might as well actually be Tony Stark. There, now that we got that out of the way, let’s begin.
Going into this flick, I absolutely had a positive POV on what it was going to be like, how “big” it might present itself, and about Downey’s […]

Treats Truck Brownies for the win

Alright, this is so good that I had to throw down a blog post about it. My colleague Chuck just brought me a brownie from the Treats Truck, and I must say it’s pretty ridiculous.

You know you want to track down the truck and get one for yourself.

SEO rap is on point

JRL drops a great post (via urg, natch) featuring the SEO rapper. Best part about this is that this is so on point with reality it’s not even funny. I think I might have to make this mandatory at work. Where’s Thilk when I need him…

John Stewart’s awesome reporting on enslavement and Barack Obama

Okay, I’m officially voting this the funniest thing that’s been done this week so far - during a live interview, John Stewart asked Barack Obama, flat out, if he planned to “pull a bait and switch and enslave the white race” on the Daily Show.
As I’m having lots of trouble with the official Daily […]
