And that's it.
Done with this job, tomorrow I’m unemployed. Feels wonderful. The bosses took me out for a big lunch and I had a few Resurrections, so I closed out the day pretty loose. See y’all.
America's No. 2 single, ladies and gents.
maura johnston: "Ke$ha’s rapping style is actually copped straight from the L’Trimm catalog, and her singing voice has a tendency to break out into AutoTuned yodeling. (Yes. Yodeling. Jewel, so much to answer for.)"
Jeff Rosenthal: i forgot about this song
maura johnston: "Which is probably why it’s going to turn into the “I Kissed A Girl” of the fall/winter, and which is why you need to be warned about it now."
maura johnston: CAN I CALL IT OR CAN I CALL IT
Jeff Rosenthal: MAURA FTW
Jeff Rosenthal: AMERICA FML
(reblogging because I can't believe Kesha is famous and she's terrible and she once destroyed my friends apartment with the entire contents of their fridge and the last time i saw her someone threw a 40 bottle at her and hit her in the head. seriously, ouch.)

this is a good thing:
This is the longest interview we’ve ever run by a long shot, but come on. It’s the guy who made The Wire. You’re lucky the entire issue isn’t about him.

Iron Man 2 Trailer →
Not not awesome.
WatchSnookie and The Situation on Conan is every bit as good as you might hope. I haven’t seen much of Conan since his move to the big time, but if this is any indication, he’s still “bringing it.”
Part two.

Watch(This is not a video. It is google maps. It’s just like a picture! People look at those in the dashboard, right?)
Well that didn’t take any time at all! I’m going to be moving in this week with some very nice people in a very nice house. Slogging through Craigslist ads, this one came up on a refresh so I knew I had a shot at being the first response. It was in the area I...

His music performed by a 25 piece band. Yes, this sounds good to me.
Google Goggles Dry-run
everythinginthesky:
I just took a photograph of a bottle of Pepsi using Google Goggles and it identified:
the logo as Pepsi (and showed the original logo)
the barcode
a small QR code I hadn’t noticed (which it analysed and correctly found the site for)
all the text on the bottle
a similiar image it found on the web
Holy hell, you guys. How far off is face recognition, given that it can...

“All That”
This is why it is that adults and even parents can, unwittingly, be cruel: they cannot imagine doubt’s complete absence. They have forgotten.
such a shame there won’t be more of this.
and another story here, from early 2007.

Good god, Bolt Bus internet is terrible.
All these people trying to stream TV shows are killing it for the rest of us, and they’re not even able to watch their precious Cougar Town. Observing the rage of the girl sitting next to me was a beautiful, schadenfreudelicious treat. She was literally picking up her laptop and shaking it, then started minimizing and maximizing the window over and over again in her fury. Finally, as a...

trygoogling:
This monkey gets treats every time it takes a picture of itself which automatically uploads to Facebook. I can’t read German, but that’s what I want to think.
Nick Zorn, translation please? Or anyone who knows the German. This is great regardless.
WatchBest of Leon
I haven’t even watched this whole thing yet, but I’m confident in saying that this is the best.
UPDATE: I was right.

If anyone is trying to get on that Flavors.me train, I think this invite code will work* for anyone: hiidef
Very simple way to put most of your internet eggs in one basket. Still buggy in beta though.
*My bad if it doesn’t.

So I’ve got a sinus infection, which means Amoxicilin 3 times a day for 10 days and Mucinex every 12 hours.
Because of my terrible allergies and a desire to not completely ruin antibiotics’ effect on my body, I’m generally always rocking some sort of low grade sinus/respiratory infection. LADIES.
