Exhibit A: Can you tell what’s wrong with this picture? That man has King Leonidas’s head plastered on in a really shitty GIF way. The title of the video implies there are other techno remixes of “This is Sparta!”. It has over 17 million views. I’m watching it, too. In case didn’t cause you to … Continue reading

It’s 3:42am and I’m not getting any work done, like I should be. I drank all my coffee. I’m not tired. I’m just not getting any work done. Yeah. Yeah, that’s about right. Via.

I have several hefty exams tomorrow. Today I had my midterm for Data Analysis, and I finally freaking know what a z-score is! Because of this work before me, I holed myself up in my room and got promptly to procrastinating. Unfortunately, I was met squarely with this for my efforts. How the hell am … Continue reading

As any good Twitter user knows, the service is notoriously unreliable. Sure, they can have uptime of 99.9%, but that’s not really good enough for a microblogging service. Ever since I started twitting[1. I understand that most people use the verb “tweet” instead of “twit” when referring to using the service, but only the latter … Continue reading

About a week ago, my The Onion RSS feed got all clogged up with gaybashing stuff—not that there’s anything wrong with that. It still hasn’t cleared up yet, so I figured it’s Gay Awareness Week or something, but Googling for that hasn’t helped me very much. Can anybody explain this? I mean, it’s raising my … Continue reading

Today is Download Day over at Mozilla, conveniently coinciding with the launch of Firefox 3 final. They’re shooting (obliquely) for a record of most downloaded software. Understandably, the press coverage would be quite nourishing to their cause. As of this writing, there are just under 2 million downloads recorded. Given that Download Day extends until … Continue reading
