- The Week in Stressful Photographs
These photographs, courtesy of Yahoo News, obviously, unless you have been living under a rock, or someplace very remote and tranquil, you probably know what they are all about. Um, kind of. I personally, don’t think I have ever been so confused in my life. I could definitely use a good crash course in global […]
- 600 Months / Wish Me Luck
Statistics are fun for me. Strange but true.
And I found this here to be rather amusing:
United States citizens apparently live roughly 936 months (not fact checked though I trust my sources). If this is the case for me, 1/3 of my life is pretty much bygones. I can officially no longer use the quarter-life crisis […]
- Status Anxiety
Warning : This is real.
In case anyone is interested. I think I have a case of status anxiety.
In numerous ways, I cannot tell you how much, or how often, or how many times I have been bothered by the question - “what are you doing right now?” - a question commonly asked by social […]
- Anxious For Success
I was inspired to write some notes while listening to parts of this talk: “Why Work? Business, Professions and the Common Good”. Might I also add that I am un(under?)employed.
Perhaps I was seeking something other than a job, but, in the process, I found this to be food for thought, a discussion on-
“The challenges of […]
- Photos of TV
Simple. Ironic. American.
Is this art? Perhaps. It is certainly telling of the weird culture we live in.
Posted by Mike Sacks as some kind of joke (I’m guessing) - I had never heard of this guy until today. But, I have picked up on the fact that he is a writer of humor, magazine articles, lists […]
- Change Hillary
Shouldn’t this read ‘The Democratic Parties’?
This is the landing page for the DNC website, and I really found it to be amusing, so I took a screengrab.
The other day, I realized that I have become entirely disenchanted with the primaries. I then also realized that I have impeccable timing, because they are pretty much […]
- Thanks, Guru
Did you know you can find most of the talks from Web 2.0 Con last week on Blip TV? Well you can! And included in the bunch is an extra special one from my favorite internet guru, Clay Shirky. There is also a transcript of his talk here if for some reason you hate video.
In […]
- An Inquiry
Every once and a while, I play a game. A game, in this case, can be as simple as asking a question. And today, the question is an anthropological one.
Why, on earth, does this exist?
Seriously. I’m not going into details on this one, but this past weekend I happened to stumble upon a […]
- R. McPuzzle
Okay, this is a great example of how clever interactive design can make us pay more attention to advertisements. However, advertisements do not always make us ration actually buying the products being advertised, especially when they are for ageing corporations with incorrigible bad reps.
In my opinion, McDonalds mine as well sell canned food, […]
- Wipeout / Winning In Real Life
After SXSW this year, I read and heard a lot of rave reviews about the keynote speech that Jane McGonigal gave about gaming being an integral part of happiness. Since then, I have been thinking a lot about it, and, I am almost positive she is right. Almost.
After all, I have participated and seen how […]
