Several theological questions, answered by thinking of God as a programmer: Q: How come the Age of Miracles Ended? A: That was the development phase of the project, now we are in the maintenance phase. Link courtesy of Digg.
Well, I was thinking about liveblogging Puppy Bowl III, but then I realized it could be summed up as this: 3-6 PM: Puppies rolling, chewing, biting, running. Seriously, it might be possible to liveblog it, but since they aren’t wearing numbers, and I don’t have a program, I don’t think you’d get much out of it. ;) (I’m not sure why there is so much crowd noise. The Super Bowl crowd isn’t that into it.) ...
Lest we forget, Super Bowl Sunday isn’t just about watching an 18-hour-long pregame show…It’s also about watching puppies and kittens engaging in ceremonial combat in Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl III! Okay, combat might be a strong word. Ceremonial wandering around and sniffing things would be more accurate. Still, awwwwwwh. :) Link courtesy of Deadspin, which had this great quote: At halftime, they will be running a special “Kitty Bowl,” which is like the Puppy Bowl, except its players are aloof and indifferent to all spectators. Which makes it decidedly more similar to the actual Super Bowl. ...
This would normally be a Saturday post, but it was icy here today, so it’s kind of like a Saturday. Continuing to see how well Spam knows me, let’s look at some recent subject lines: I Woof You Uhh…what? I know I must have misheard that one. Inside every child is something special A chewy center. Find Money you didn’t know you had That’s always good. A lawyer that will fight for you ...
I’m pretty sure this is how alternate timelines diverge. Just before Super Bowl XLI, featuring the Colts vs. the Bears, you can get these two highlight videos by NFL Films: Warner Brothers Chicago Bears Super Bowl XLI Champions DVD Celebrate Chicago, you are the city of champions once again! Remembering the Monsters of the Midway, the Chicago Bears and their intimidating defense helped vault the club to the Super Bowl XLI title! Relive the Bears’ rise to the top of the league with this Warner Brothers Champions DVD. NFL Films takes you from the opening whistle against the Packers to the final gun in Miami. ...
Nothing quite brings that lesson home than watching your production web server go down just before you’re about to leave for the day, all because a message from you to the hosting reseller inquiring about hard drive capacity was translated by the hosting provider as “Take the hard drives out of that server.” :|
We like to watch the show Beauty and the Geek on The CW. It’s an interesting social experiment, even though it requires a lot of stereotyping to function. However, it normally treats it with a little self-consciousness. However, catching up on recent episodes, we heard this statement: “Guys, we’re going to ask you questions about topics women like to talk about: Fashion, beauty, and pop culture.” The women were asked questions about aeronautics. ...
So it organized itself into a large list of free online education resources. Although, it does claim to have been created by Jimmy Ruska. :) Link courtesy of Too Many Topics, Too Little Time.
I was checking the comments flagged as spam by Akismet, and I found one authored by Shakira! Now, I’m not sure why she wanted me to know more about mortgages and insurance – by including 25 links – but I am so flattered she found my blog interesting. ;) I should point out that Akismet is amazing. It’s picked up more than 4,000 spam comments since install, and I haven’t found a false positive yet. ...
In an attention economy, reputation can take you a long way. In this case, it takes Atoosa Rubinstein, former editor of Seventeen, to an investors meeting to talk about videos of her cat. Perhaps someday I’ll be famous enough to propose cat videos as a business project. Or maybe I’ll keep it simple and just get a cat. :) Link courtesy of Gawker. Update: Doesn’t Alpha Kitty Atoosa sound like a good name for an anime? ...
