  • Your long lost friend Clippy

    Everyone remembers Clippy, right? The old friend of Word ’95 days. When spell-check came with irrelevant chatter and obnoxiously intrusive and cumbersome software?

    Well fear not! He’s made a return in an especially delightful article on Cracked.com. Check it. It gave me a good laugh.

  • Trashed Idea – Uroclub

    For all you golf enthusiasts out there who happen to be old and have a bladder issue, I would like to introduce to you the Uroclub.

    I believe this is an SNL skit, but funny none the less.

    It’s a-me! Mario! This is a piece of art done entirely out of Rubix cubes, and a gallery of others to boot here.

  • Role Models – iGun Rampage! (NSFW, language)

    So for anyone who hasn’t caught this yet on the interwebs, the iPhone finally has a practical app that made me laugh pretty good. Also, good for anyone who has entirely too much road rage. You should be able to sympathize. Just watch out for Kevin. (Very NSFW. Lots of cursing.)

  • Because Internet Neutrality is important

    (Edit: Their widget isn’t working in a post form. Please go to the site & check it out. It’s worth your time.)

    A friend of mine named Alexa posted this and I found it highly informative & at the same time irritating. It’s a small snippet on the going-ons of the largest ISP providers and their attempts to lobby away the Internet Neutrality. What does this mean to you? It means keeping the internet free reign. It means keeping ISPs from providing better service to those who pay them more, rather than just providing the internet. It means smaller sites & ad-funded sites are going to run dramatically slower, since people don’t want to have to pay for what should be free. It’s frustrating to realize companies do this to begin with, much less feel almost powerless to stop it. People are too apathetic in today’s age to stop thing kind of fraud. Please take the time to click the Take Action, fill out the information, even if you don’t fill it out honestly, just so we can put a stop to this kind of junk.

  • Trashed Idea – Katzenklavier (Cat Piano)

    So some of you may have already seen this from one of my other posts, but for those who are unfamiliar, allow me to introduce what people wanted to call a musical instrument in the 1700s.

    The device is called a Katzenklavier, or translated as a Cat Piano. It was made by a man named Athanasius Kircher. If sources speak the truth, then a working version of this monstrosity was created. The device had cats loaded into these boxes, each lined up according to the vocal pitch of their meow. When the keys are pressed, a lever device does one of two things, either pulls the cats tail or pushes a nail like protrusion into the cat, causing the desired meow. The practical application of such a device is apparently supposed to help cure ADD… Sounds like that’s what caused this thing. And that’s my Trashed Idea for the week.

  • On comments

    So I was recently using the WP-Spamfree plugin and in three weeks it managed to catch 101 “spam” comments. But not a single comment went through during that time. I became suspicious. While on week 3 I decided to log the comments and see what it was catching. Lo & behold it blocked 3 non-spam comments. So I’ve taken it down for now and am going back to the old school manual approval. So I apologize if your comments weren’t shared with the world.
