From Movable Type to Tumblr to Wordpress
It sux asscrack! No search sux too! zadi: So I’ve given Tumblr a try and I like it, but what I don’t like AT ALL is the way Tumblr archives. It’s nearly impossible to search, tag, categorize, etc. And since the web is all about the long tail and searchability, I think I’m going to change over to Wordpress and keep on feeding it into Tumblr (just so I can stay connected with everyone here). Mind...

nicknoyes: Franklin Schneider is clearly one of the biggest wastes of humanity in this or any other era, but, he’s a pretty funny writer. This article describes his efforts to milk unemployment benefits as much as possible. In order to assure that he met the minimum job application requirement without accidently ending up employed, he sabotaged his own resumé; a friend of his did the same,...

Why trying to be funny is usually a bad idea
Me: I met this girl at a party who lives in Morningside Heights.
Her: Oh, my grandma's from there.
Me: Cool, maybe I hung out with your grandma. This girl I met was 97 years old.
Her: My grandma's dead.
sharingtime: At this point my brain shorted out.
aco: you should have kept going with it!
sidd: AHA! That's why she wasn't complaining like young ones when I was using and abusing her wrinkled old ass! You should try to be more like your grandma if you know what I mean and I think you do. ;)

Excerpts From Dark Knight Second Trailer
“You once told me that we would be together,” Bruce reminds Rachel. “Did you mean it?” “Bruce, don’t make me your only hope for a normal life,” she responds. The theme of a hero giving up his love life for the sake of strangers in trouble is familiar in comic book fiction — so familiar it’s even been somewhat snidely called “The Spiderman...
BlackBerry 9000 Improvements Revealed! →
Looks like RIM needs to fire someone as it seems the Boy Genius has gotten his hands on an internal company document that spills the beans on the incremental improvements coming to the version 4.6 operating system that will ship on the hopefully soon to be announced (and released!) BlackBerry 9000. As we have seen in earlier leaked photos, version 4.6 kicks the “Pretty” factor of the...

seriouslythough: emilyposts: “Brainy babes find it harder to have an orgasm – because they are too busy thinking, a study claims.” That might be true….you have to find someone that gets you “out of your head.” I have to agree with one commenter: “If she’s thinking during the deed, the bloke ain’t doing his job right” (via onemoretimewithfeeling) Been there. Done that. But I completely disagree...

Inside the Mind of the Subway Idiot →
They say you should never judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes. But recently we’ve discovered that there is one set of New Yorkers, a special subgroup of humans that we spend a lot of our time judging. Very harshly. We look at them with disdain, confusion, and often, outright rage. We’ve seriously considered acts of violence against them and have on more than one...

Thanks (for nothing) Vimeo
I like Divshare. Give them a try. trappedintime: When your users upload videos that must wait in a queue for two hours before conversion, how can you wonder why YouTube kills you? The ideas, creativite nature, and great design that go into the Vimeo product are worthless if you can’t quickly upload a video to share. Maybe I should just upload this same video to YouTube and share it with my...
