• Commented on "Unicorn Taxidermy: MAKE ME AN OFFER"
  Almost as nightmarish as when Xeni posted it three weeks ago. http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/02/unicorn-taxidermy.html...
• Commented on Frédéric Lebain's real world collages
  Even cooler, try the Looking into the Past LJ community, old photos superimposed on their current counterparts. Some examples (none mine): http://www.flickr.com/photos/iagoarchangel/3937741273/in/pool-lookingintothepast/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/uwgbadmissions/3839520625/in/pool-lookingintothepast/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/jasonepowell/3749639425/in/pool-lookingintothepast/...
• Commented on Jonathan Worth tries out a copy-friendly photography business-experiment
  I had an entertaining experience with various "free" copies of Little Brother when I read it. I was at a friend's house, and they'd taken it out of the library, so I spent much of the evening borrowing their copy...
• Commented on My recent money-related posts at Credit.com
  Regarding the 45now/70 later problem. I'd take the $45* in 3 days over the $70 in three months for a simple reason. I'd have to wait ten times as long for a less than 50% improvement. This would be like...
• Commented on There is now a hairdryer with Swarovski crystals
  And in once again proves that "Swarovski Crystals" is shorthand for "This is going to be ugly and stupid". I have yet to see something with those on it that didn't look ass-tastic....
• Commented on Interview with John Marcotte, author of bill to ban divorce
  @JoshuaZ: I think it is simply A Modest Proposal for saving marriage in CA....
• Commented on Interview with John Marcotte, author of bill to ban divorce
  I can't read the article (I'm guessing work's web filter has a problem with the first four letters of that URL), so I might be rehashing here. you should link to this guy's website, it's brilliant. http://rescuemarriage.org/ "California has a...
• Commented on Steampunk rugged corset
  I think both the wearer and the corset are quite attractive. And the fact she designed it so she can look attractive and still work in it bumps both up into damn sexy....
• Commented on Video: Unboxing The Fleshlight
  Transparent? That has got to be right disturbing to see in action. I'm guessing it is going to be a lot like the MIR of a couple in coitus, more squishing and deforming than you'd expect or ever want to...
• Commented on A perfect leather case for big laptops
  Potentially dumb question, but I have only recently acquired a laptop, so I have only recently started paying attention to bags like this. Where do the power brick & cords go? Do you carry them in a separate bag, or...
• Commented on Things that have always been true for the class of 2013
  Britney Spears has always been heard on classic rock stations. Nonsense. I listen to NPR & classic rock stations exclusively, and have never once heard her songs (thankfully). I have commonly heard them on regular stations at restaurants/shops.etc. CDs have...
• Commented on Dude lives in spaceship house
  It is an interesting building, but this part of the article got to me: Mrs. LiMauro and Brennan,[..] designated themselves the aesthetics police. “We dressed all in black and became night marauders and Ninja warriors,” said Brennan, sneaking out late...
• Commented on Microsoft bilking customers on hard drives
  Don't forget the removable Memory unit. It is essentially a 513MB flash drive for $30. When was the last time you paid money for a 512mb flash drive? For $30 it should be *at least* 4GB....
• Commented on Fanciful trompe l'oeil garage-door murals
  These have shown up on Jalopnik and a few other car blogs. A few of the images have been IDed as stolen off the net. So some/many/most? of these will be web-sized images with mediocre photoshopping[1] blown up to 6'x6'....
• Commented on Flooded Louisville Free Public Library needs your help
  #1: Actually paper helps trees, seeing as how pretty much all paper these days is made from trees planted *to make paper*. So if we stopped using paper the paper companies would stop planting trees....
• Commented on What's So "Smart" About An Automated Kitchen?
  So opening cabinets was too complicated and too much of a strain? It used to be that the only way your cabinets could "crash" involved faulty screws. Now you might need to reboot your kitchen to get to the soup...
• Commented on Pranknet's Skype "phone assaults" detailed, head bully in charge lives with his mommy
  This reminds me of a guy who appeared on a mailing list for a local group. He thought a woman's work-address sig file was an intentional effort spamming the community and blew up at her. Then blew up even worse...
• Commented on Common outdoor climbing phobias and how to combat them
  2. Heights Oddly, I'm not scared of heights, I am however terrified of edges. Back when I did climbing, going up the face was no problem, and rappelling down was no problem. But the initially leaning back over the edge...
• Commented on Radley Balko on NY Times photo: " I can’t really conceive of a scenario where it wasn’t staged."
  I've never done it to send a text message, but I've been on both sides of a situation where the passenger has held the wheel like that. Most common was getting an overshirt or jacket off while driving. But other...
• Commented on Hearses to be made from Priuses
  #12: Soylent Green tastes like grampa!...
• Commented on Pixar Grants Dying Kid's Last Wish to See "Up"
  Flew someone out there to screen the movie for her, gave her free toys & poster and didn't comment on it or issue a press release tooting their own horn. Pixar, you are a class act....
• Commented on Mugshot of Phil Spector Without His Spectacular Wig
  #1 I was about to post the exact same thing. He *paid money* for a wig that made him look like that? That should have been the basis for an insanity defense. "Have you seen my wig? Is this the...
• Commented on Man who drove into City Hall gets 10-year sentence
  #36 - Read the earlier comments before you post. Modern security camera systems only record when there is movement. So the several minutes between the people & the car were not recorded because it was an empty hallway. No editing...
• Commented on Man who drove into City Hall gets 10-year sentence
  #3 Yakety Sax version as request: http://james.nerdiphythesoul.com/bennyhillifier/?id=RL83sUbTDiU It actually syncs up surprisingly well....
• Commented on RNC chairman says that gay marriage is bad for economy
  @Rindan: While I support a lot of the democrats positions, policies and programs I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said. The best thing possible for any government is two (or more!) nearly equally powerful parties keeping each other in check....
• Commented on Dirty ISPs can sabotage the nation's digital future
  Also if my usage starts being metered, I will go on the most aggressive ad-blocking binge ever. Anything that looks even vaguely like an ad will be blocked at the source. And I'll be a lot of other people will...
• Commented on Pow! Biff! Bang!: brass knuckle handlebars
  This reminds me of something I saw somewhere where a motorcycle rider was talking about having a suicide shifter[1] on his bike with a set of brass knuckles as the knob. He was pulled over and hassled by a cop...
• Commented on Morning tech deals highlights
  Is a 6-cell battery really needed on a Sonicare? I can't imagine it being used long enough at one go that battery life is a major concern. :)...
• Commented on Funny prank by artist / cabinet maker Lucas Murgida
  The multiple-knob door that opens in the opposite arc was really interesting. I'd love to install something like that somewhere with a webcam trained on it, just to see how people interact with it....
• Commented on I was thinking about considering to start a Society in Eugene, Oregon
  Below is the error I just got for my new comment above, This is different than the error i got for my earlier comment attempts. that one said it couldn't find some string that looked like a URL without at...
