OmniNerd – Articles: Beating Traffic An attempt to analyze traffic from a statistical point of view….can you generate statistics based on stupidity? Because that’s what it really boils down to. Waxing philosophic on the subject, I keep thinking of the first Men in Black movie. Jay: Why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it. Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. This sums up the major flaw inherent with traffic. People have to make merges and they don’t know how to (apparently). Bone: Out from Boneville & the Shot/Reverse Shot | The New Gamer I was interested in this game when I first heard about it, but I was supremely disappointed by the demo…much as I was disappointed with the Boondocks animated series…the voices didn’t feel right to me. But also I got to this one part where I … Continue reading →

FANTASTIC FOUR 2 is coming sooner than you think..consider this fair warning! I liked the first one. Good to know they’re hard at work.

Jim Hill : Could the Dreamfinder soon be returning to Epcot’s “Journey into Imagination” attraction? Pixar’s transformation of the Disney company begins… Privacy and photographing strangers – Lifehacker Something you never really think about when you’re shutterbugging at your favorite theme park…whether your subsequent blog posting violates people’s privacy.

Who Is Composing Which Scores This Summer (And Beyond)?? The ScoreKeeper Knows!! Sadness! Klas Bladelt isn’t doing the score to Pirates 2! I’d heard it before, but I couldn’t believe it. Why the hell would you switch composers in the middle of a trilogy? I’m a little worried, but maybe that’s because I’m not paying attention. And what was wrong with the Spiderman soundtracks? I thought they were fantastic. I must not be a rabid enough fan. Oh well. Wade Sampson : Wednesday with Wade: More “Making Fun of the Mouse” Intriguing historical information behind some of the more noticeable parodies from Jim Hill’s 3-part article last week. Timing is Priceless!! – MiceChat A very cute joke involving alcoholic businessmen. Penny Arcade! – The Not So Dearly Departed Practically a parody of when the Blues surrendering to the Reds in Season 2 of RedVsBlue. Hilarious! YouTube – Pac Man: The … Continue reading →

The Dilbert Blog: Scott’s Pet Peeves Scott Adams and commentators reveal more anti-common sense. “Did you ever find your keys? Yep. They were in the last place I looked. Well I sure hope so! ‘Terry d’you find your wallet yet?’ ‘Yeah, but I’m still looking for it. Just in case we’re in a parallel universe or something’” (Jeff Foxworthy). Jeff Lange : Melts in your mouth, not in your … hook? NASCAR promotes Disney via M&M? Groovy…

BBC NEWS | Technology | Green mini-car to beat congestion So wait…we’re going to solve traffic congestion by making everyone drive smaller cars? Why do I get the horrible feeling that this not only isn’t going to work (smaller cars doesn’t mean smarter people) but that this would never take off in America? Oh yeah, because Americans are too fat to fit in these things! BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Scientists make water run uphill It’s M.C. Escher all over again! iTWire – Mac, welcome to the virus zone Ha ha. They can’t have it both ways… Net could incite self-destruction : HindustanTimes.com Great, another half-assed study trying to blame the web for faulty parental training. Cyprus women break world bra chain record I don’t know what frighten’s me more: that there was a bra chain record or that someone aspired to break it…how monumentally unimportant is your life that … Continue reading →

Penny Arcade! – Whence Wii Today’s comic is alright, but the real reason to check this out is the mailbag entry near the bottom. God bless our troops! May our national identity not be corrupted by illegal immigration so that our troops can come home to a place where Penny Arcade makes us all laugh. The Dilbert Blog: Motivated by Money Scott Adams poignantly proves that the war in Iraq WASN’T about oil…now if only we could convince the mis-educated, liberal media-hordes out there who think that was the only reason… Bush Opposes Singing Anthem in Spanish So he’s trying to take a stand? I’m glad he is. This song <linked from the John and Ken Show> is absolutely infuriating. Can we bring them up on plagurism charges? It’s absolutely insulting that they would take our national anthem and rewrite it for those who support ILLEGAL activity! God! When will … Continue reading →

Newsvine – Judge: Web-Surfing Worker Can’t Be Fired This claim in and of itself is too vague. It needs to matter what the worker is surfing for. I prefer Stephan Pastis’ solution (creator of Pearls Before Swine)…strap an ink bag onto the monitor that explodes if pornographic content is accessed. Sure, every male will be blinded, but it will ostracise them as well. Newsvine – Indonesia Claims Most Terror Captures Do they want an award? Newsvine – Australian Terror Suspect Stands Trial Publishing materials on how to make bombs and poisons, eh? Not a good idea. He claims he’s innocent and I say prove it. Newsvine – Iraqi Woman Faces Trial in Jordan Attacks See! Muslims do respect women! At least enough to let them blow themselves up for Allah. Does that make her a lesbian? Or are we going with the latest translation that says 71 crystal clear raisins? … Continue reading →
