Round up all the web geeks and pelt them with pebbles

January 12, 2009

I just spent the last hour of my life fighting with some CSS that works perfectly in Safari and MESI 7.0, but not in MSIE 6.0 or the “standards compliant” Firefox whatever version it is now.

Things I found funny today

December 5, 2008

Two scenes in Katy Perry’s Hot & Cold music video struck me as funny today.

Come on, a rock n’ rolling priest at a wedding? That’s just God’s sense of humor.

A guy in a hot dog suit getting run over by a guy running away from his angry bride to be. Yeah, that has funny written [...]

Stuff lost in translation

November 28, 2008

I read this story and was horrified. Not at the fact that 200 shoppers would break down a WalMart door and stampede a man to his death, but by two statements made by Walmart.

Wal-Mart representative Dan Fogleman called the incident a “tragic situation” and said the victim came from a temporary agency and was doing [...]

Happy Eating Day

November 27, 2008

Happy Eating Day, everyone! Oh, I know, our American friends are celebrating Thanksgiving but let’s call the holiday what it really is.

Disappearing males?

November 25, 2008

This is an interesting video and it appears as if males are disappearing. The video concludes that that is is becasue of the chemicals we’re producing, but as a male of the canine species, I’d like to posit another theory:
Mommybloggers

It was well-thought out and objectively argued. In short, it explains why presidential candidates need to go bowling and drinking [...]

November 14, 2008

I found this on the guest blogger application form at Brazen Careerist. If your blog has been running for at least a month. Really? Only a month? I know Internet time is compressed, but I would hope they would want just a little more experience than that.
I’ve been blogging for over three [...]
