I can’t read the word “titles” without first seeing “titties” and then correcting myself.
There is no way I’m alone.
That might actually explain why you’re alone.
XKCD - Random Number - Stack Overflow
A StackOverflow question about an XKCD comic answered by a Dilbert comic. Awesome.
This commercial causes laughter every time.
Nice.
Good on Biz. Radio Shack’s definitely a step up from this Eastern Motors commercial with Lavar Arrington: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB_upFw4wj0
Same santa hat, though. Who knew Biz Markie was such an Xmas icon?
Few people know of Robert Graves’ sequel to I, Claudius …

Colbert’s Suburban State of Mind
Steven Colbert (in a pin-striped suit jacket hoodie!!!) teams up with Alicia Keys to cover Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind.”
Four kinds of WIN.

In the grandest lo-fi tradition, Pomplamoose is making better music in their living room than most crap that comes out of the major studios.
(Matter of fact, they’re making major studio crap better. Seriously, I can’t stop listening to their infectious cover of Beyoncè’s “Single Ladies”. Especially the part where Nataly replaces the third verse with a critique of the song itself.)
And then they go and up the cool by getting Zoe Keating to sit in on a Christmas Track, “Always in the Season” Stellar!
Plus there are goats involved. Seriously. Goats.

The miracle solution goes by different names: the sodium fast reactor, the integral fast reactor, the liquid-metal-cooled reactor. It burns nuclear waste, emits no CO2, and shuts itself down in an accident. We have enough fuel to power the whole world for tens of thousands of years. It will end global warming, and even if global warming is just another paranoid Armageddon fantasy, it will save us from the dying oceans and starvation and resource wars that are inevitable as the world’s energy supply dwindles. It will unleash new industries and revitalize America’s manufacturing industry.
Meet the Man Who Could End Global Warming
Fascinating. And sad that this technology isn’t being actively pursued. Politics FAIL.

At least several hundred mile-junkies discovered that a free shipping offer on presidential and Native American $1 coins, sold at face value by the U.S. Mint, amounted to printing free frequent-flier miles. Mileage lovers ordered more than $1 million in coins until the Mint started identifying them and cutting them off.
Coin buyers charged the purchases, sold in boxes of 250 coins, to a credit card that offers frequent-flier mile awards, then took the shipments straight to the bank. They then used the coins they deposited to pay their credit-card bills. Their only cost: the car trip to make the deposit.

Damn, that’s genius. Why don’t I think of things like that? (Via Daring Fireball and Kottke)
