Experts Warn of 'Terminator'-Style Military-Robot... →
Ok, I had a good laugh over this and I know of at least a couple readers who would also (Jason and Joe, I’m looking at you). For everyone else, sorry, just skip this post. Anyone who is still here also gets an apology because this post has no coherent flow.
To get the obvious out of the way, the above headline is courtesy of a Fox News article on a report from the ‘Ethics and Emerging...
Speaking of my friend, anyone interested in joining to see the show for free/severely discounted with us in San Jose? I have absolutely no interest in High School Musical but I figure why the hell not. I’m hoping we get to see my friend fall during a set change.
Seriously though, if you’re at all interested let me know and I can pass along details once we figure out when we’re...

Can anyone guess which fan base got ahold of this poll?
Someone at NASA must have realized there would be no contest.
Slow zombies are only scary because there are two thousand of them between you and your idiot girlfriend’s house across town(who you considered abandoning to her fate 3 times in the past hour), and you only have your grandpa’s shotgun that has been mothballed in the attic for 17 years, a handfull of shells, and the golf club you had to kill your childhood friend with. Zombie movies...

The effects on this are sick. When you think it looks pixelated and warped, that’s actually on purpose.
Sweet Cosby sweater, Kanye!
Ok, well that’s a little awesome. Looks like Kanye and I think alike since I just yesterday made the comment that intentional keyframe manipulation could be a cool effect if...
Cell Phone Makers Pledge to Include Universal... →
The GSMA, whose members represent between 50-80% of all cell phone sales, has pledged to include a universal charger, a micro USB plug, in the majority of devices by January 1 2012.
Not only will this end frustration, it will have an environmental impact as well. “The GSMA hopes the initiative will slash the greenhouse gases that result from the manufacture and transport of chargers by...
Call In
callin:
I figured I’d never use the new call-in feature of Tumblr so I figured, why not let other people use mine? Follow the directions below (repeated in the sidebar) to call in and leave an anonymous voicemail for me, for Tumblr, for anyone. Recordings get posted immediately.
Use a free Caller ID spoofing site (try here or here) and call 1-866-584-6757 (“friend’s number”) with the spoofed...

The Straight Dope: Why aren't porn actors charged... →
I’ve always wondered this and it turns out this isn’t the case everywhere. The reason it’s legal in California, making it the porn capital of the US, is that in 1983, the CA Supreme Court cited precendent establishing that “for [an act] to constitute ‘prostitution,’ the genitals, buttocks, or female breast, of either the prostitute or the customer must come in...

The statistics for What’s on Tumblr? are interesting to look at since it reflects the content hitting the radar. There is on average 35 posts per day, over half of which are photos posts. Also of note is that only 2 conversation posts have hit the radar since July.
TumblrStats: a nice little tool. →

I had been hoping someone would make a nice once of these after the last one died a long time ago. Some interesting stats from my site: I’ve averaged a little over 3 posts a day for nearly 2 years and photos are my most common post type constituting about 42% of my content.

“What’s up with all this 3D shit making a ‘comeback’?
