Spaghetti
The dorm food that we get in our hall is nothing but grease. Even the noodles which is what stumps me. Noodles are made by putting them in boiling water last I checked. Where did the grease come from?!
How many countries can you name in 5 minutes? →
onemoretimewithfeeling: I’m all about testing you tonight. I could only name 57. But I blame baseball for distracting me. I got 44.
Stainless for OS X Leopard →
soxiam: A multi-process browser for OS X inspired by Google Chrome. I’ve been playing this for the past half hour and I really like it. I hope they expand it with some more features like bookmarking. It’s a tech demo now but it’s a fun semi-version of Chrome for OS X

Things that could use innovation
Innovation is happening every day all around us but there are certain things that never get touched. Who knows what kind of a bright future certain products have that have maintained their shape and same features for decades. Here are some products that could use a tweak or two: Toilets - Sure the Japanese have ones with heated seats that squirt your butt so you don’t have to wipe too much...
Lizzy, why are you squinting?

Taco Bell
I came up with an idea earlier this afternoon: how much Taco Bell would someone have to eat to physically lose control of their bowels and shit themselves. After talking about it for a while the question turned into not how much but what would be the the right combination of deliciousness from the Taco Bell menu that would make your colon and asshole stop cooperating. I don’t know the...

RetroInternet 10
Two defining days in Internet history: 1) When Senator Ted Stevens called the Internet a “series of tubes” and 2) When George Bush called it the “internets.”
Sunday Meme - Cone of Silence
If you could shut up one person or organization in the world, forever, with no questions asked who would it be? I would say Bill O’Reilly or Fox (read: Faux) News but that’s too easy. I’m gonna have to go with Ashton Kutcher. Your go.
Another Premiere or Will Snow Season Ever Be Here
Last night we saw Claim: The Greatest Ski Movie Ever. It really was, given that it was the first ski movie I’ve ever seen. I’ve been looking all day for the soundtrack for Claim. It was sick, with songs from Europe, Social Distortion, KISS, and Tom Jones just to name a few. I’d highly recommend it whether you’re a skier or a snowboarder. So tonight a bunch of us are going...
Homesick Zack
A bunch of us are developing a series of shorts called Homesick Zack. Homesick Zack is about a first semester college student that’s so homesick he finds it hard to do simple, everyday tasks. Links will come for that in the next few weeks as we finish writing, filming and editing. I’m really excited about it though. We have some really great people working on this to make it as funny...
From G's To Gents
MTV has really gone downhill in terms of programming. One show that I’ve watched religiously though was From G’s To Gents. At first the show seemed ridiculous, a bunch of kids from the hood trying to learn how to be preps but as the show progressed it was obvious that these guys were actually taking steps to better themselves and their lives. G’s To Gents was produced by Jamie...
Watchtower
“There must be some way out of here,” said the joker to the thief, “There’s too much confusion, I can’t get no relief. Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth, None of them along the line know what any of it is worth.” “No reason to get excited,” the thief, he kindly spoke, “There are many here among us who feel that life is...
Who wants a Tumblr theme?
I want to design someone a Tumblr theme to get some CSS/HTML experience. If you want a custom theme for free, email me.
Shower Thinking
There’s really no better place in the world to think than in the shower. I love it because there is absolutely nothing to distract you. No TV, no Internet, no music, no nothing. Just you, the water, a rubber ducky and your thoughts. It’s perfect.
James Bond, the opposite of fine wine, gets... →
By eliminating every single thing that makes Bond, Bond, including the classic “Bond, James Bond” line, the 21st century Bond promises to be worse than previous Bonds before it.

RetroInternet 9
I miss the days of Internet innocence when I actually got shocked by videos. Ever since shock sites and videos like 2Girls1Cup, I’m invincible. Nothing can phase this guy.
Mondays are about overcoming inertia; Fridays are about overcoming impatience.

Autotune
Autotune in music is like steroids in baseball, people think you need it to be great.
Sunday Meme - One thing l will never own
I will never, ever own a Yankees hat. Your turn

gPhone, hPhone, iPhone - Yes, please!
This Tuesday marks for me the long-awaited announcement of the first phone utilizing Google’s Android mobile platform software. I’m not especially excited for the phone; I’m excited for the competition and innovation that is about to occur in the cell phone market. Apple challenged the market and the business model when AT&T gave them incredible amounts of freedom on their...
