More songs by buildings? (and food?)

As easy as stealing candy from a...
Nevermind.

Intéressant. I go in for barista training tomorrow. Wish me luck, random BB readers!

I've worked at a Chinese restaurant for the past three years, so I've accumulated quite a collection of fortune cookies. The moon one is my second favorite after "There is a nice cake waiting for you." Oh, the cake is such a lie.
A few more highlights: "You will have a party."; "You look pretty."; "May you have a good appetite."; "The job is well done."; "A carrot a day,may [sic] keep cancer away."; "You are going to have some new clothes."; "It tastes sweet."; "We are very happy together."; and "In god we trust;all [sic] others must pay cash."
My collection also has a gift from my girlfriend, which is the absolute craziest one of all: "Here we go. 'Moo Shu Cereal' for breakfast with duck sauce."

It wears her out.
It wears her out.

My father actually works on printers like those. The printer itself may be large, but most of them need an entire other unit just to keep them cool. The air conditioning unit may be just as big as the printer itself.

I first got into Kawasaki in an issue of Hi Fructose, and I've been addicted ever since.

This was a plot device in The Swarm...

Always look on the bright side of life!

I really like the fact that it's chromatic, so it can (in concept) handle crazy tunings. Now you can play Kashmir without having to set up a completely different guitar.

It's about time there's a new design for an engine. I'm not an engineer or mechanic, so I'm not sure of the details, but if it's really "better", I'm looking forward to change.
Okay, so I really came in here to comment on how... suggestive the animation looks to me.

Beet juice...
Beet juice...
Beet juice...

It's not nearly as bad as this.

I never knew Buckethead felt so strongly about Guantanamo...

Daft Punk > Tron > OK Go > T-Qualizer > Wham
I'm saying this from an outfit standpoint, not a music standpoint.

But do people really want to abandon toothpaste? Even if people won't need it, I'm sure they will still buy toothpaste for their fresh morning and evening mintiness.

I submitted a similar link over a year ago. So I still claim this as a win for me.

This is cool. I've always loved Penn Jillette's penitentiary-style house.

It's really interesting to consider that computers completely rewire our brains to think more logically. Using a computer forces us to consider abstract ideas like hierarchies, and shortcuts. And really, their ideas aren't too far off from what several companies try to do. A lot of keyboards have "hotkeys" for browsers and whatnot that seem like a good idea at surface value. However, pressing [CTRL+C] instead of a designated Copy button just seems more accessible. A bit like how a stenotype machines are chorded, rather than having a full keyboard.
I can see this thought process when trying to teach my mother simple tasks on the computer. She needs things to be very straightforward. If she uses a program, she needs a shortcut on her desktop. On the other hand, I have desktop shortcuts disabled. To me, having a program under an array of directories just seems more logical.
Eventually, all computers will just need three buttons: [1], [0], and [CTRL+ALT+DEL]

I'm never going to get used to the thirty-first century. Caffeinated bacon? Baconated grapefruit? Admiral Crunch?

No volcanoes? What a disappointment.

Stop Making Sense?

Update Windows Spyware? If you say so.

When I was about 8 or so, I got a Lego cake for my birthday.

Here's one: Why is this guy trying to be David Feldman?
(Even stealing the term "Imponderables".)

I came here to post precisely what DCulberson said. They even have the colors down.

Come on. We ALL know what 80% of the people who would buy this kit are going to do with it. Pass the Cheetos, please.

I preferred season 1 (which was the more uniform school education parody), though my favorite moment came from the food episode of the second season. The "Slimby scariest picture possible" has been my default user picture/avatar for every website for the past year or so.

Also, Imhotep is invisible.

You're happy because the ad hocs have finally taken over the Mansion? What has Debra done to the real Cory Doctorow?

Why must 2007 kill all of my favorite writers? Robert Anton Wilson, Vonnegut, and now L'Engle. I swear, if something happens to Mark Z. Danielewski, I will hunt down and kill the year 2007.

Aesthetically, the change isn't huge, so I like it. (I hate having to relearn how to navigate a site.) However, I love that comments are back.
