Actually, it’s pretty smart – in a lame ass, draconian way.

Awyeah! Right there, at the end – it’s a dookie! Google made a crap for your Gmail.
Well, you know what they say, “a poop in your in-box is worth 4 flaming turds on your stoop”, or something like that.

Thanks Uncle Google, and thanks to you too, techyshit (for totally living up to the name too!)

What’s on my reading list?

I believe Stan Lee said it best, “Nuff Said!”

You should hire yourself a design professional

The internets are a-buzz with chatter regarding Vodafone’s image faux pau. If you look closely you’ll see the iPhone OS “photoslopped” into the display. The tint-shifted version of Google maps is tolerable, but the inclusion of Mobile Safari and the super iconic “Home Screen” is just bush league.

This is such a “beginner’s mistake” that I wonder if it wasn’t done maliciously? It takes some serious balls to try to get fired in these economic times.

Have a gander before Vodaphone gets their shit together and pulls it.

American Coffee (from Japan)

In a previous post I had lamented about my concerns with putting Coffee before Country. But now those fears have been pummeled by the sheer force that is American Coffee! (from Japan). You heard me right, now I can put Country and Coffee first.

Hell yeah: Patriotic label, Desert Storm inspired color palette, a totally sweet silouhette of an American family, and a damn fine Ford Thunderbird/Chrysler hybrid car thing (I thought it was a tank at first). It’s like they canned AMERICA!

How’s it taste? Like FREEDOM man, like fucking freedom.

My CERN fears confirmed

Check out this email I just got:

Hello,

I am from approximately two months in the future. On 10/22 at approx 2:34am CET a tachyon field failure in the main resonating ring of the LHC causes a “temporal blowback”. Shortly thereafter, the resulting destruction of the strong nuclear force causes the world to vaporize in seconds, while a few of us near the experiment are thrown into a temporal causality loop.

While the predestination event (or as we have come to call it “The Big Rewind”) hasn’t occurred yet to you, for us it is about three years in our past. I came across your site looking to see if there were any other scientists that may have theorized this phenomenon who may be of assistance in preventing it. This brings me to my point, I have repeatedly checked your site for the past five rewinds at 2:34:01 CET and it still says nope, believe me at this point the LHC has most assuredly destroyed the world. I can provide a bank account in Nigeria for the funds to be placed. I am curious to the exact amount however.
