Polticians. Can’t live without ’em, can’t live with ’em.
That being said, I do feel a little sorry for this guy. Only a little, though.
Tonight’s Insanity: Mega Meme Edition
- This working girl is clearly working her ass off. (Somewhat NSFW, contains nudity.)
- You BURIED $10,000 in the internet and we have to use IE8, Microsoft?
- A policeman allegedly tasered a Queensland man more than 20 times.
- Sonic black holes – yes, they do exist.
…and from out of the last link a new meme was born. I ask you:

For those that possess no brain, this is an awesome adaptation of an old favourite quote of mine: if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
I’ll leave the pondering up to you, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy. 🙂
Why Marco Arment Doesn’t Leave iPhone Development
I’m a huge fan of Apple and almost everything they make because they have an incredibly effective design process and release strategy that facilitates the creation of consistently great products.

By and large, the App Store works – there’s no way you’d reach the audience you do with the App Store than if you just tried to do your own little marketing. The 30% cut that Apple take is a small price to pay for what is essentially, worldwide marketing…
Ironic Sans: Idea: The Outlet Wall
Instead of hiding your outlets behind furniture and worrying about the mess of wires tangled behind your entertainment center, consider making an entire wall that’s nothing but outlets. Then you can artfully plug in your appliances wherever the cords look pleasing to you.

That’s impressive. Impressive indeed.
Hard to go past a blog with the name of Ironic Sans. That’s just rediculously awesome.
Left 4 Dead 2 Box Art
We’re sure you’ll agree: Pretty convincing. Granted, it took lopping the fingers off two staff members’ hands to get the lighting reference perfect, but since those didn’t appear on the box, we think we’re legally in the clear.

I *love* how Valve have an excellent sense of humour.
