The man who designed the Pringles potato chip packaging system was so proud of his accomplishment that a portion of his ashes has been buried in one of the iconic cans.
Yes. This a wonderful invention. But as I sit here eating way too many Barbecue flavored Pringles I realize that this wonderful invention is too small in diameter. I can not effeciently remove the Pringles from their packaging... of course maybe that's the point. You HAVE to pour them out and eat all of them.
Pringles guy is buried in can.
Ha ha. I'm slightly guilty of this - but I will not tell you why! :p
The word: “Nerdgassing”
Definition: The venting nerds emit when some (often minor) detail of a book/movie/TV show/comic book/etc either conflicts with canon and/or handwaves through some some suspect science.
Example One: “In the third show of the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Data clearly says that the Glorithian flagship was constructed in orbit around that planet Norgar, but then in the fifteenth show of the sixth season, it’s said it was constructed in the Buterian space docks! How do you explain that, hmmm?”*

Between this post about Double Chocolate Cookies and this story about why we eat them... I just want some cookies.
It's Friday. I can have cookies for lunch. That's totally fine.
I bet that'll make the afternoon go by great. Ha.
(Image found on the delicious site The Kitchen Sink. Not only good recipes but she takes awesome photos of what she cooks.)
I think I could stare at this photo ALL DAY. Makes me want a thunderstorm.
Found originally via We Heart It, but the original site with more is here.
I am looking for the new Scare Tactics commercials that are running on the Sci-Fi Channel.
Tracy Morgan is the new host and they are hysterical. If only for the Most Awesome™ look that Tracy Morgan makes at the end of the spot.
Will post when I find.
I am *ALMOST* finished editing photographs.
When I'm done they'll all be up on MySpace and Facebook. So if you're not my friend, what is wrong with you? ;) Come find me. :D
And I'll write everything up after that.
For the record. I smiled at the son-of-a-bitch before I could help myself. (Name the movie.) Really. We were walking down the street from the subway to the conference center Tuesday morning. The shoe-shine guy was sitting there (like he was the other mornings) and he was staring at me. So I looked at him and smiled. He then growled at me. This caught me and the co-worker I went with off-guard, she looked back and he then growled at her.
At lunch we passed him again as he walking down the street. He then started muttering at us that we were "chump broads." And walked off.
He was not a nice man.
Back to editing and watching The Andromeda Strain...
I am very, very, very tired.
And there is a lot of work piled up on my desk.
I am very sore. We stood and walked and carried a lot of paper samples.
But I had a wonderful time. I really didn't want to leave Boston.
I even got yelled at by a man that shined shoes.
And I have a battle-scar from a fight with one of those subway gate things.
More later. I promise.
I feel like this post should contain some sort of starburst, large type and lots of exclamations points. ;)
I think I'm over this look. I promise something new shortly. Perhaps today. Perhaps next week after I get back and catch up on my sleep.
Awwww, I just want to hug him! It's so sad.

This so made me smile. :)

How fantastically fun. There are more here. Originally found via We Heart It.
So for those that don't know – which is all of you – I'm flying to Boston Saturday for the HOW Design Conference. I'm hoping I can leave early Friday and go ahead and drive the 3 hours to the airport.
So I need places to go in my spare time. :)
It also means posting may be sporadic until I get up there (because I'm busy) and maybe while I'm up there as the laptop I own is like from 1999.
Update: Oh, I do need glasses. I get to pick them up on Wednesday or Thursday - they're only kind square. And I got a prescription for migraine medicine... :D
LONGVIEW (Wash.), April 10.—(INS)—Reports of three motorized birdmen soaring over Longview had the lower Columbia River area agog today.Two laundry employes said they saw the human airplanes or animated comic strip characters fly over the city without the help of parachutes. In January a similar birdman, singular then, had been reported at Chehalis, Wash.
I was hoping it was a jetpack. ;) It wasn't....

We're having a thunderstorm, which I love... and a tornado watch. So in honor of that:

But I have to show you this.
Is that not the most RIDICULOUS thing you've ever seen? The caption won't even tell you what museum - I'm guessing because they are embarrassed that they have this on display.
You can read the article I saw it with, but it's about Neanderthals being in a completely different species... once again I feel I already knew this, so I don't know why it's news.
You know what's awesome to hear? "We really can't make a bad decision."
YAY!
