there was probably some lawyer working for universal who was like "hey... hey guys. let's try and plead that the charges filed against us are 'unconstitutionally excessive' and see if we can get away with it!"

jerks

@#4

time to take things offline... and back into the fields?

lol

the girl in the video is so captivating... I must know who she is.

somebody tell me.

...tip of the iceberg

lol, I'm Afghan

I agree with #70

hey, I go to VCU! I'm actually in the library right now.

wait a minute, I'm actually looking at the comics right now! right behind me, on the fourth floor... some of them are featured in a large bookcase, where they usually feature vintage comic books.

yarg, just bought the last one (for now!)

that was absolutely delightful

haha, that's funny because I was just reading this article
http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2008/04/14/excellent-book-covers-and-paperbacks/
and his illustration is featured there too...

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!

haha, totally reminds me of this creepy flash thing I made freshman year at college. living in the dorms got boring...

"This could be the beginning of the end of the Internet."

I'm gonna write down that quote, so when the internet really does get ruined, and I make a film about it... I can say that cory doctorow sorta predicted it.

can anybody tell me the font in the "infernal device" lettering in the picture up there?

please excuse my last comment. I misread the article.

wait, which photos are by Mr. Bullock? when I click the link provided, it has the same photo you guys featured, except it says "Photograph by Peter Ginter."
And then when I click on the photo gallery, under that same image, it says "Photograph by Maximilien Brice, CERN"
a couple other photos say Mark Thiessen, but no Bullock to be found.

that's funny, I was just talking with a coworker two days ago about Gort. I said to him that I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still the night before (after not having seen it in a long time) and he told me that his friend actually had an awesome model of Gort and he's put it up on eBay. I wonder if this is his auction... I'll have to ask next time I see him

that yoda mask is just too creepy for me
but I can't stop staring

haha, great ending

aw shucks. no os x port yet

beats my local radio station. "no repeat work week" my ass. this would be a no repeat lifetime worth of music

I'm sold!

hahaha oh god
I love coming home from work and watching youtube videos late at night

back in the early 80's, right after all this cold war hype, my dad had a pretty popular restaurant right on M street in Georgetown... (we're afghan btw)

anyway, pretty much all I remember from it was the giant rugs he had hanging from the walls. some were generic persian-like rugs, but some depicted epic scenes of buzkashi games and such... this article reminded me of that for some reason.

actually, now that I think about it, they were paintings.
oh well. nostalgia ftw

aw, how cute

I see a new VH1 reality show!

"'Sometimes we deliver the bouquets in the middle of the night or early morning, to avoid suspicion,' one florist said. "

lol, "to avoid suspicion." I guess only in Saudi Arabia this would make sense.

in true pastafarian style

or any combination thereof

I thought this was made clear during the keynote.
either way, I knew about it that day... but it doesn't really make a difference to me. I don't own an iPod

haha, this is even better than the "jedi mind trick" some of the fellows use at work.
when handing the check back to the guest, they write a small number in the top corner of the receipt and circle it, which is the expected amount of tip (20%) that should be received.
more often than not, the guest leaves 20%+

superman dat ho!

lol, sorry

man, I have to peel beets for hours at work. I can't stand those things.

my goodness, those are beautiful.

awesome to the max

haha, site down. think again Bootie. we're all broadband whores. should've released it as a torrent to begin with.

haha, beautiful (relatively). I'm really digging mash-ups more and more, all because of boingboing

that's like getting in a fight on the moon. awesome either way

you probably won't read this, and I probably will forget to check back, but it was Si Tapas in Richmond VA.

Orangina is not orange soda.

man, I could've swore I saw you (Cory) at the restaurant I work at the other night. I asked one of my coworkers if they knew who Cory Doctorow was, just to get some kind of confirmation of whether or not that guy actually looked like you, but nobody knew who you were in the first place.

damn IRL people

wow wow wow

I totally want this as a poster. would it look good if I just printed it out somewhere, like as it is?

@keneke

seriously.
what is that supposed to mean?

hey, what happened to that other magic trick video you guys had posted? it just disappeared

@10
you underestimate the Storm.

@12, yeah, and I hate steampunk. I just skip over all those articles. maybe you could do that same with posts like this...

I'd rather get raped than wear that thing.

wow, what a story.
I mean, I've met a few people off the internet, from message boards, but those meetings went just how I suspected (not imagined though). It was awkward. we had nothing to talk about... we didn't know each other and we never met again... but we're all still "normal" on the message that we frequent.

humans, the internet... some weird things happen in this world.

damn, they took down the listing.
