Price Stability

Why it is important to let computer algorithms set your prices for you ...

Lana, The Lady, The Legend, The Truth

What? The prices only differ by a factor of 10 billion.

Hint: If they fixed it by the time you find this, the lowest price was $0.01. The factor between prices should tell you approximately what the highest was. Maybe one of the booksellers is trying to find the money to help balance the US Federal budget.

Change of Pace

Well, another school year done. A crazy one, as my heavy posting schedule during its course might sort of, kind of hint at. I am finally ready to admit that teaching turns me into a zombie. Even desk jobs that I would hate would leave me full of creative energy in the evenings, but teaching so totally drains me all I can do is sit there and go "meh".

Time for some brain recovery and a definite change of pace.

So as I recover and scheme, I would like to share the current state of my brain:

The Internet is Over

Yep, the Internet is over. It has nothing left to document. Now go read a book or something. I hear it's good for you.

Terrible Gallery Signals End of Internet via the Awl.

Gnome Defenders

Just in case you thought there were all red point hats and cuteness.

Just click your heels together and say ...

The Internet is Made of Cats!

Terror for the Hearing Impaired

Yes,the zombie song, Re: Your Brains, is now available with ZSL (Zombie Sign Language).

Remember! The undead are equal opportunity destro- ermm... employers. Well, okay, except for those snooty, perfectly coiffed, perfectly emo, unholier-than-thou vampires. Ever notice how they never go after ugly people? Elitist bloodsuckers.

Want!

The bookbook!

Mental_floss' step-by-step guide to destroying civilization with nanotechnology

Mental_floss' step-by-step guide to destroying civilization with nanotechnology

via boingboing

This step-by-step guide overlooks the most important part, which is, of course, to make sure you destroy the world in a way you can survive (ideally, with a horde of adoring worshipers, or at least really good looking, intelligent, and inventive sex slav- ermmm, minions). Otherwise you don't get to gloat. And really, where's the fun in not getting to gloat?

The Boy Cow

From the people who brought you "duude" for girls ...

The boy cow.

To their credit, I have never seen trying not to crack up laughing used so effectively to lend energy to the scene. At least, I hope that is what that was.

Mark Fiore

I'm gonna put this here so I never have to dig through my bookmarks (scattered across six or so browsers) to accidentally and serendipitously find it again ...

The animated political cartoons of Mark Fiore ... he's awesome.

Learning

This one made the rounds while I was teaching English in Japan ...

Nice to ... ummm ... see it's still around.

Funny and totally not safe for work.
