Last night while writing this, Jurassic Park decided to relocate to my living room. I’m talking about a bug. No, wait, not a bug. A prehistoric arthropod is more like what I went to battle with at 2am.
We’re talking 1.5 inches long, had about 50 legs, and moved really, really fast.
I broke my girlfriend’s shoe in my epic fight with this beastie. (I won, the thing is now vanquished. Made history like its prehistoric brethren.) As my friend Kelli remarked this morning though, I sure hope this thing doesn’t have family…
I added comments to my Tumblr blog today via Disqus. First impressions were very good. Adding the comments was a breeze, even for a not-super-technical person like myself. It took literally 3 minutes from sign up to deployment.
Everything seemed to be working fine, but now a mysterious issue has cropped up: comments are disappearing from the site. The comments still exist (see here for example), but on mockriot.com they’re gone.
Odd, to say the least. Comments are cool, but invisible comments? Not so useful.
Meet Ellery, my new kitty.
I wonder why the
World Wide Telescope site is using Flash for video. Did Microsoft forget they created Silverlight?
This could be the first video game to movie tansition that actually works. Bioshock has a cool story and has a great atmosphere. Plus, Gore Verbinski did a pretty good job turning a
theme park ride into an entertaining summer blockbuster — and he has more to work with for this. Also, the writer of
The Aviator is in talks to pen the screenplay… very cool.
Clearly, they chose the wrong screen shot for this tool tip on kayak.com (unless their goal was to make the advice sound silly).
The term “bitchmeme” is as obnoxious (or maybe even more) than the things themselves.
Seriously, Alexa… you just figured out in the
last couple of months that ranking data based solely on a toolbar that has long since been replaced by Google’s as the most popular browser toolbar has rendered your stats grossly inaccurate? (And I mean more so than every other public analytics data provider — all of which are inaccurate in their own ways.) Really? Because everyone else realized that years and years ago…
