Crazy breakdown of Internet data usage from Kottke.
TL;DR: texting is more expensive than printing!

The un-edited, un-cut, un-processed ramblings of a twenty-something stuck between two worlds.

That Isn’t Art is always a great place to go for a quick laugh.
Love is When (via icanread)
If you look into someone’s eyes and see their heart, you should call an ambulance immediately. Have the person lie down and keep their legs elevated. To be honest, I’m not really sure what else you should do because emergency training doesn’t really prepare you for a person’s heart being lodged in their skull and it pushing out from behind their eyes. How did the heart get up there? And how is this person still alive?
Needless to say, they’re going to be in surgery for a very long time, and the road to recovery will be quite difficult. But if you love them as you claim, you should stick by them through it. Just make sure you keep your options open… if you meet someone attractive, try to start a fling on the side. That way, in case your brain-heart husband eventually dies or becomes too much of a pain to take care of you can easily transition into a new relationship.
The Real Secret of Apple’s Product Philosophy
Jeremy Toeman and Greg Franzese:
“The real secret to Apple’s success is that there are no secrets.

Paris, France
I just love how Paris looks. One of those cities that maintains it’s uniqueness in the modern age.
The Emperor's New Antenna
So I’ve been thinking about “Antennagate.” First thought: stop fucking calling every scandal “-gate,” for Christ’s sake.
Next thought: so what’s the scoop here? Biggest problem in the history of all of mobile phones, or minor issue blown way out of proportion by the tech media? Neither, of…
Fish in a barrel
Apple came out with updated Mac Pros and iMacs today. I’m an iMac man myself, so that’s what I checked out. Looks nice! Of course, The League of Internet Commenters is busy finding flaws and comparing it to similar offerings from Apple’s competitors. Hardware isn’t my strong suit, but I know half…
A Thought on the BP Oil Spill
I believe that the BP oil spill could have even bigger ramifications on our country than we already realize.
If this disaster exits the public consciousess without there being a 1:1 ratio of fault to accountability, then we as a nation will have demonstrated to our government (and the…
Avertible catastrophe
The idea that the fiasco in the Gulf could have been less of a disaster makes me sick.
Modern Nerd: Rise of the Tablog
The blog format has devolved. Once a simple gateway to self-publishing, today the blog format is responsible for a thousand tawdry tablogs: hideous half-breeds of tabloid and blog built around odeous content, cluttered site designs, and optimised for pageviews alone. To understand how it happened,…
Somewhere at the heart of this piece is a large part of why I haven’t posted here in months. Even on Tumblr it’s quite easy to stop writing and start “blogging”, and I don’t know many who actually like to “blog”.
I took this shot a few days ago. Saw this guy on on a circus bike - not really but you get the point.
