I’m with Damon (click through and read the last one to understand it a bit better, but the answer will always be the same: action figure!):

The New Yorker’s iPad Complaints

Posted on April 21, 2010 | Leave a comment

Now, I’m not a big fan of the New Yorker, especially their attempts at humor, but this is worth a look, especially if you’re an iPad owner/perspective owner. Click through for the full list; it’s funny stuff.

Least Common Complaints About the New Ipad

  • Too salty.
  • Time-travel app does not automatically adjust for Julian calendar.
  • When used as tanning bed, battery life is limited.

    • I’d like to add my least important complaint: it doesn’t contain a hidden bacon supply pocket. Seriously, what gives Apple?

    And Now For Something Completely Different

    Posted on April 7, 2010 | Leave a comment

    From the Plants vs Zombies band:

    Sunflower: There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    We don’t want Zombies on the lawn.

    I know your type: tall, dark, and dead
    You wanna bite all the petals off of my head
    And then eat the brains of the one who planted me here!
    I’m just a sunflower, but see me power an entire infantry!
    You like the taste of brains, we don’t like Zombies.

    Zombie One: I used to play football! (Play football!)
    Zombie Two: Road cones protect my head! (Cone on his head!)
    Zombie Three: I have a screen-door shield! (Screen-door shield!)
    All Zombies: We are the undead!

    Sunflower: There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    We don’t want Zombies on the lawn.

    Maybe it’s time to reevaluate
    I know you have a lot of food on your plate
    Brains are quite rich in cholesterol!
    You’re dead so it doesn’t matter,
    Instead we’ll use this solar power
    To make a lawn defense at any hour!

    Zombie Four: I like your tricycle! (Tricycle!)
    Zombie Five: There’s butter on my head! (On his head!)
    Zombie Dolphin: I’m gonna eat your brains! (Your mom doesn’t know!)
    All Zombies: We are the undead!

    Sunflower: There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    There’s a Zombie on your lawn!
    We don’t want Zombies on the lawn.

    Heh. Butter.

    Difference Between a Nerd and a Geek

    Posted on March 29, 2010 | Leave a comment

    People tend to use these terms — as well as others — interchangeably, and I’ve always felt that they shouldn’t be. I mean, at least these days, someone calls you a geek, it’s usually not meant to be taken nearly as derogatory as being called nerd. And dork or dweeb are hardly ever meant as a compliment, at least in my experience. So it was with considerable relief that I found late last week that someone had taken care of this issue for me and laid out these terms and their relationship with either other via a Venn diagram. My wife, daughter the elder, and I all think it’s pretty close to right on the money, too, as it shows why being called a geek these days isn’t usually meant as an insult.

    Moving the Hyphen

    Posted on March 3, 2010 | Leave a comment

    I know I’m late to the boat on this web comic, but damn, there’s some good stuff in xkcd. It’s a very science and math geek heavy web comic, which I found by looking at Cory Doctorow’s Wiki page. (Looking for his bibliography — Wikipedia is a fantastic source for those.). I’ve started from the beginning. Here’s where I left off. Click and read.

    …

    Yeah, it’s amazing what moving punctuation can do. Heh.

    Friday Fun: 14 Year Old Onion Article

    Posted on February 26, 2010 | Leave a comment

    It’s Friday, so I’m going to hold off posting anything that requires thought. Well, deep thought, anyway. After 14+ years of reading The Onion (America’s Finest News Source), this remains my favorite article: Immigration Officials Beef Up U.S.-Mexican Border With Pure Beef. And this was over a decade before President Bush tried to push comprehensive immigration reform! The Onion had it solved — all they had to do is look in the right place.

    As usual, read the whole thing. Believe me, it’s worth it:

    EL PASO, TX—In an effort to beef up security measures along the U.S.-Mexican border, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service announced Monday that the border will soon be fortified with 1,200 miles of pure beef.
