Back in the day, nobody played more Quake than I did. Well, possibly a few pasty white, 10-year-olds in Wisconsin but I was thoroughly addicted. (Just ask my wife.) Point release, add-ons, new mods, (CTF rulz!) whatever came I was there eating it up. If you had asked me what I wanted to be when [...]

It’s just about the perfect subject for happiness inspiring time-lapse video.

Call us bad parents. Call us curious. Call us whatever you like. But seriously, who knew those hair growth pills would work so well?

It’s about time! Just kidding. I’m glad it’s here because it’s the best browser available.

Yet another week where I miss the live broadcast of Survivor. This time, I confidently move to CBS’s Innertube to watch the show like I did last time.

Sure it’s silly, but it’s well done silly. There’s a difference.

Sometimes the best comedy is when people aren’t trying. Make sure you watch the video for the “Nutty Buddy, a revolutionary athletic cup designed by a pro baseball player for superior protection of your most valuable assets.” [via Coudal]

After playing with Sony Mylo’s mini-site a bit, a couple axioms come to mind. I’m sure you’ve heard:
“The main thing is to keep the main thing, the main thing.” (The quote is attributed to Steven Covey but I think someone less famous said it first.)
So, what is the main purpose of this little website? [...]

Rodrigo y Gabriela can flat out rock. I’m constantly amazed at the complete accomplishment that some human beings can have in different fields. Bravo!

What MTV says about Google-YouTube marriage
YouTube is certainly a phenomenon, but they certainly overpaid for the brand. Google’s expertise with technology and design could have created a better application for (litterally) billions less. The real trick is how to strategically put advertising into the flow where it’s easy to implement and doesn’t drive off viewers.
Hands [...]

Some ideas just make so much good sense. Congratulations! [via Coudal]

I feel like I must apologize for the lack of updates recently. There are a bunch of things going on. Let’s hit ‘em like this:
#10: There’s a clause in my contract with the Hot Tub that requires me to spend, at minimum, 15 minutes twice a day with her. Some might say that’s a bit [...]
