A way to watch youtube video’s with your friends across the internet divide in real-time. Pretty neat if not terribly useful.
To all unfunny people
derekmansen:
If you are thinking about simply regurgitating a reference to some movie or TV show, don’t. It’s not funny.
If you do make the mistake of doing the above and the other person doesn’t get the reference, don’t accuse them of not being socially aware enough to “get” your humor. It’s not their fault they didn’t watch some shitty show that you happen to hold in high esteem. It’s your...

FUCK. THIS. NOISE.
I am so incredibly pissed right now. A whole kind of pissed that most people don’t ever get to see. This is such bull shit. I apologize in advance if I don’t make perfect sense.
The story goes like this. Some asshole to retarded to use a water resistant wick gets some pansy-ass firecrackers on a plane and tries to light them off in the last hour of flight. People...

4chan Founder “moot” to Speak at TED →
He’s presenting at TED during a session on the topic of “provocation,” in between a Harvard government professor famous for lectures about justice and an anti-slavery activist.
Well, this will be interesting.

How Adorable
…(superfluous conversation I can't recall)...
Jaimie: ... is the worst thing on the internet.
Me: No, 4chan is the bottom of the internet.
Chelsea: I disagree.
Me: Have you ever been to 4chan?
Chelsea: No, but I don't think it is the bottom of the internet.
Me: Oh? What is then?
Chelsea: Porn.
Me: You're adorable.

I remembered something I learned in my primate social behavior class. I approached the glass with a submissive posture, looking down at the ground and backing up with my hand out.
Caroline, I think you will really like this.
Manvotional: What Is a Boy? →
A boy is a composite—he has the appetite of a horse, the digestion of a sword swallower, the energy of a pocket-size atomic bomb, the curiosity of a cat, the lungs of a dictator, the imagination of a Paul Bunyan, the shyness of a violet, the audacity of a steel trap, the enthusiasm of a fire cracker, and when he makes something he has five thumbs on each hand.
Stay a kid.

That’s my only advice to anyone about everything. Stay a kid. You can be as serious as you want about whatever your passion is, or whatever is paying the bills, but remember that this seriousness is a pretend part of you. You may like it, you may bring it with you and use it as a shield, as a badge of “growing up,” but remember that it’s not real. Inside, you’re...

It’s about getting it all out of your head, and is not supposed to be edited or censored in any way. The idea is that if you can get in the habit of writing three pages a day, that it will help clear your mind and get the ideas flowing for the rest of the day.
You can’t just fart out 3 pages without running into your subconscious a little bit… 750 words takes a bit of...

Nicholas cage is in a movie I want to see. And he is playing what seems to be the single most awesome character in said movie. Weird but ultimately delightful.

Improv Nerds Only

Ever since I joined a UCB Harold team, I’ve been searching for ways to amplify a sense of discovery and fun in an environment too often full of overthinking and overanalysis. A recent very fun workshop with Anthony King got me thinking, as did my team’s fun show last night, and I wrote up a little personal manifesto of sorts. (If you’re not into improv, this might...
not-so-brief chat with Randall Stephenson of AT&T →
Now there was silence again. This time I was the one not talking. There was this weird lump in my throat, this tightness in my chest. I had this vision of the future — a ruined empire, run by number crunchers, squalid and stupid and puffed up with phony patriotism, settling for a long slow decline.
Fave Steve Jobs on why the CEO of AT&T is an asshat. Great read even if you don’t have an...

It wasn’t SEXTING.
It was you, adults, all the adults in her life. The high school assholes too, but they’re in high school. You’re adults. She was thirteen years old and she was driven to her grave for nothing and there was nothing inevitable about this.
And you should understand that. You should go to her grave as a penitent every day of your lives, all of you, like Leontes and Claudio, and...
