One of my favorite blogs on the internet is the Dilbert blog. The comic is good, but his personal blog is infinitely more entertaining in my opinion.
Go read the article “live performance” he posted today.
If ever I had a blog idol, he is it. I want to write like Scott Adams.
I got you this pin in addition to whatever else you received from me! You’ll have to collect it next time you’re around because I apparently can’t remember to give it to you.
I have always loved Lego. There’s something about having a toy that is built up of little building blocks which blows open the imagination and lets it roam freely. No other toy that I know of inspires the same degree of creativity. That’s why I paused when I came across a very brief article on Boing Boing.
Artist Jan Vormann (possibly with a group of artists) spent time in Bocchignano, Italy, a village close to Rome, as part of the group project “20 Eventi”. The end result was this stunning set of pictures. I was going to write more about this but I think instead I’ll just repost this comment from the Boing Boing article which sums up my thoughts:
Not safe for work because of language and probably because you’ll bust out laughing and everyone will give you the evil “I now know you’re not actually working” eye.
Old, but still so so good.
/sigh
One of the best postsecrets ever:
I read postsecret every week. Most are just sad… sexual… abused… like a tragedy with haiku brevity.
I get a guilty pleasure out of reading them… it’s like sneaking a peak into other people’s heads. What were they thinking when they wrote this secret? Does it define them? Is it just something that lives with them, like a low hum in the background of their lives?
This one though… it’s just so delicious. It’s not sad unless this fear defines the person who wrote it, but I choose to think it doesn’t. It’s like a breath of fresh air.
Panthenol, aka pro vitamin B5:
Makes me wonder if there’s an amateur vitamin B5 out there somewhere.
The wife linked me this a couple days ago. It took me a little while to figure out what was going on. Apparently cat owners are attaching lightweight digital cameras to their pets and rigging them to take pictures automatically. The result is a kind of photo blog of life from the perspective of a cat.
I’m sorry if that offends you, but I don’t. It’s obvious that Tycho & Gabe are well entrenched in the game scene, but their comic is just… not right. I think the main problem is that the comic is usually so obscure and detailed that the cost of entry is just too high. I like a challenging comic that really makes you think, but Penny Arcade is usually off the scale when it comes to obscure references. I know it’s a problem when the usual process I use to try and puzzle out what the hell is going on is to read that day’s news (the two are usually related). Sometimes the comic then makes sense… sometimes it doesn’t.
