Commented on Oprah falls for a 4chan troll
Ah, but Oprah never falls for a troll. Despite not seeming to understand the cultural reference... she's a calculated, enduring master of publicity and knows this serves to give her more attention — which it did!...

Commented on Web design project from hell immortalized in cautionary webcomic
We creative types need to find more clients who recognize the truth in posters like this. Then we can both have a good laugh and get off on the right foot, breaking the damned loop. Like any healthy relationship, both...

Commented on How to tell if you are being boring
I would've been useful to have Gretchen's explanations for each of these topics. Discussing dreams is almost always fascinating when you're around other vibrant, creative types. I recall MLK Jr.'s speech about having a dream was received fairly well, and...

Commented on Meow Mix
What especially touched my heart about this video is I have two cats almost like that! 'Cept kinda inverse, because I have a tiny tabby and a big black cat named Mr. Sushi — he's very vocal and loves to...

Commented on Cats for Gold: turn your glitter to litter!
How much gold does it take to get a longcat? If you put in white gold, do you get a white cat? If you spew petroleum, do you get a black cat?...

Commented on Bravo Gustavo, an excuse to wave your iPhone around like a conductor's baton
Dudamel is a testament, a wave which washes away the stench of useless classical snobbery that inhibits the art and disgraces its majestic composers — an iPhone app is another wave in the right direction. Dudamel looks like the conductor...

Commented on 8-bit house numbers
I came here expecting cronchy house *music* ("numbers" also referring to tunes) and leave pleasantly delighted. Let's just home the wallpaper matches and there's a pixelchair — photographed isometrically — on the front porch. I heart the 8-bit culture +...

Commented on Teen cries true blood
This fella should get a cameo on True Blood and related shows, and they could save on special effects. Although vampires might get jealous knowing non-vamps can do it too....

Commented on Pears grown in the shape of the Buddha
#5 — it's SO funny you mention that. Related story: a Thai friend told me about "grave robbers". This of course sounded horrific, so I went on to prod for further details. My friend clarified he didn't mean they take...

Commented on American copyright lobby attacks Canadian politicians for supporting balanced copyright
I still feel grieved over when I, as a Canuck musician, had to pay a levy for blank CD-Rs that I was going to distribute my music on. The resulting money was supposed to go to artists, but I never...

Commented on Dramatic reading of a break-up letter
Dude sounds like he's about to crack up while reading several times. Other funny voices to read the SRS in, historically, have been (1) Comic Book Guy from Simpsons, (2) Mike Tyson, (3) Michael Jackson, and (4) a combo of...

Commented on iPhone copycats are a modern day cargo cult
Apple's often not the absolute first — they do, however, popularize and set trends, which understandably leads many people to believe it began with them. Also important to remember that beyond words (which have their purpose in marketing), if you...

Commented on Another World
From polygons to paintstrokes! Faved. (Bug: if not logged in, clicking the heart does nothing. It should prompt me to sign in and for some reason, my sessions here aren't very persistent.) Anyone else remember Aegis Animator? You could DIY...

Commented on One shot: the game development office of tomorrow, today
I support remote/networked collaboration for a number of reasons (I work in leading virtual world Second Life) but altho the image looks compelling, how's the clarity of sound? Multiple webcams stack the noise floor, but I haven't used iChat for...

Commented on Tim and Eric: New "Awesome Show" DVD, new music video dir. by Eric Wareheim, and Vanity Fair interview
@#4 You called it. And preemptive strike on the "This is humor for people with Asperger's" comments. ;) Usefully, look up "DUTTY WINE" on YouTube. A number of the dance moves in this fine video are inspired by or derived...

I was so not expecting that. But smiling now. Enviro-Bear is a cult hit already and the author is nice! Yay Justin! Gee, to see Enviro-Bear's face from a non-profile view... he's a handsome sunova....

Commented on Bobby McFerrin hacks your brain with the pentatonic scale
That's the really nice thing about certain pentatonic scales (like the black notes on the piano) — not only do they sound Chinese as you glide up and down, they also sound harmonious in any order and combination....
