Ahoy, matey! Today be September 19. It’s time to throw your “proper” English overboard and talk like a pirate, else ye be cursed to spend eternity in Davy Jones’ locker!
Personally, I think any day is a good one to sound piratey, but a couple of scalawags in Oregon decided that this was the best day of all to unleash your inner pirate. Go forth, pillage and plunder my fellow buccaneers!
You might be wondering where all the articles went. I got tired of having NucleusCMS break stuff all the time so I’m porting everything over to WordPress. Don’t worry, the articles will come back as I get them moved over to WP.
Update: Okay, I’m mostly finished moving everything over. Some articles didn’t make it because half of the content mysteriously disappeared and not all of them were cool enough to dig through SQL backups to recover (shock, I know…). Also, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to transfer comments, so they’re all gone. The good news is that the comment notifications will probably work now and I’ll quit ignoring you!
It’s been bugging me for months. It seemed like every time I go to a site that’s running ads there is a picture of a delicious looking pile of- something? Are they tiny pastel-colored hamburgers? Are they soap? I hope not because they look like I should be eating them. Clicking the ad only takes me to the Groupon sign up page.
The other day I was poking around in Flickr and I saw a picture of some of these mystery items that someone had taken. I clicked on the picture and the caption held the answer; they are French macaroons.
I feel better now that I know what they are (and also that I didn’t have a strong desire to eat soap).
It’s been interesting reading the comments that have been posted ever since I put up the series of videos showing various Game Boys and Nintendo DS’s being overclocked with a GBAccelerator DS chip. Most of them fall into the category of “this is totally fake because…”. I’m posting this article as a one-stop source addressing the most common overclocked DS conspiracy theories.
This Venn Diagram showing the relationships between the various members of the non-jock class (nerds, geeks, dorks and dweebs) has been floating around the Intertubes lately. I’m glad I found it because it’s already settled several arguments (“He’s a geek. No, he’s more of a nerd. No you’re a nerd! Yeah well your face is a nerd!”)
So now I guess girls who like to hang around geeks are “nerd hags”. I didn’t know there were enough of them out there to warrant their own classification. I dare you to get your girlfriend to wear this nerd hag shirt!
Ye best be talkin’ like a pirate today if ye knows what be good for ya!
Does anybody know when flip out like a ninja day is?
Don Herbert, more commonly known as “Mr. Wizard”, died yesterday at the age of 89. Don was responsible for getting many of us interested in science, with his shows “Watch Mr. Wizard” in the ’50s and “Mr. Wizard’s World” in the 80′s. Thanks for everything, Mr. Wizard. You will be missed.
