I Hate My Job [seen online]
I laughed so hard, I had to share this story with you:
My job is so fucking unbelievable. I'll try to sum it up by first telling you about the folks I work with:
First, there is this supermodel wanna-be chick. Yeah, okay, she is pretty hot, but damn is she completely useless. The … -

There Is Such A Thing As Working Too Hard
And while I've failed at hitting it, having scooped up my laptop and gone down to the beach only to have to turn around and come back when the sun disappeared behind thick, dark clouds, Ruth seems to have grasped the concept quite well. She's reading papers in anticipation of her final ever exam tomorrow, …

Satisfied
I saw XKCD #584 - "Unsatisfied" - this morning. In the comic (in a slightly Sliding Doors way), a man chooses between one of two lovers, and spends the rest of his life thinking about the other one in a "what if" kind-of way, leaving him ultimately unsatisfied with his life, regardless of which he …

Digital Sounds For Quiet Cars - I Totally Predicted This
The Economist has a story about a bill going through US Congress about the noise (or lack thereof) made by electric and some hybrid cars. For years, I've pretty much predicted this development. Only I meant it in a tongue-in-cheek way.
"Cars are getting quieter and quieter," I've been heard to say, "And electric and hybrid … -
An XKCD Moment
As a song came on the radio (well, Club 977 - The 80s Channel), Ruth laughed. "What?" I asked.
"This song just reminded me of a webcomic I read today about song mash-ups," she replied.
"Oh yeah. I read that one. Which webcomic was it?"
"I don't remember."
It was only when we started thinking in terms of Venn … -

JTA Makes A "Bin Bag Coat"
JTA had forgotten to bring his coat with him to Troma Night, so he quickly fashioned himself a makeshift coat out of bin bags. Unfortunately, it had stopped raining in the meantime, and so he ended up looking like a bit of a wally.

Economnomnomics
Here's an idea: what if bills came with a sweet treat, like a lollipop or something. Or perhaps if the bill itself was printed on editle paper, like ricepaper, using a food dye-based ink. Aside from the improved biodegradability of the paper, it'd also make you look forward to opening your bills and nibbling at …

Interview Sarah Palin
Remember about four-and-a-bit years ago, I downloaded Dadadodo, which I described at the time as a "word disassociator?" The program itself is a Markov chain generator/randomiser that works on sentence structures: in other words, given some text (speeches, poetry, blog posts, whatever - other kinds have been demonstrated to work on things like music) it …

Does Food Go Missing From Your Kitchen?
Does food ever go missing in your house and you don't know who's eaten it? You probably ought to check all of your cupboards, then, in case you've had a small Japanese woman living in one of them for the last year and you hadn't noticed.
