Littlest, Yellowest, Differentest

The tumblrblog of my blog. Seriously, can we buy a vowel, here? This is ridiculous.

Wow, I forgot how awesome this song is, even eight years later.  (I just downloaded Radio 1’s album with Girls Aloud doing the cover of this song.)  Captures all the angst I’ve had in the past fifteen years.  Also, any song during a teen movie in the 90’s is an instant win.

In about 130 years, when our insect overlords come down from their spaceships and look at us with our tanks and guns, I wonder if they’ll look at us the same way that we look at this photo of one of the last remaining indigenous tribues in Brazil taken from a military airplane; somewhat amusing in their primal savagery, but hopelessly futile. Christ, I need to lay off the coffee.

Dozens of people write the phrases they use to get themselves through tough times.

nickdouglas:

Mantras, basically. Most of the first ones are themed “Be present” or “Just do it.” I don’t have one right now.

Mine is “Good times or good stories.”

Comment overload

nicolelee:

Man, you thought YouTube and Digg commenters were brain-dead? Holy crap, the comments on CNN.com and SFGate.com are even more mind-numbing. The virulent name-calling is insane, especially from people who clearly have not ever heard of netiquette.

I’m intrigued enough to compile some of the stupidest ones into a parody blog of some kind…


Yahoo is pretty bad too.  Any blog post off Yahoo! Music or Yahoo! Food or Yahoo! 360 comes to mind.  Yahoo! Shine would be a great one as well.

We should totally do this.  I’m Asian, Asians are good at being passive agressive.

The Internet Vs. The Care of Your Soul

kfan:

1. No laptop in bed.

2. No internet for at least 30 minutes before you got to sleep.

3. Nothing on your feed reader that posts more than X times per Y.

4. Being bored does not mean you have to check your email.

5. Don’t only read websites related to subjects you know inside and out.

6. For every X feeds that you add to your reader, remove Y.

7. Don’t read email on your phone.

8. If an email upsets you, never respond immediately.

9. Think about the motivations behind the blogs you subscribe to.

10. Don’t read the comments.

 Must remind myself of #2.  Must remind myself of #2.  Must remind myself of #2.
