rufus:
I’m deeply in like with this blog that posts animated gifs made from just three frames of different movies.

WatchInteresting. I apologise that it’s blatantly a commercial for something, but when it’s this fun and frankly unobtrusive, I don’t care too much (if you just see a green block, it’s still loading - it can take a while - and there’s music at the bottom right of the moving pictures).
And their logo is basically the same as the Design Within Reach one. Blatantly,...
WatchHodgman questions the presidents credentials as an earthling and ribs him on bridging the gap between Jocks and Nerds.
Full 14 minute speech here.
Thanks be to Phronk & Hodgman.
WatchThanks be to Giles.

Microsoft...Antivirus Software (Codename: Morro)... →
I have long been a proponent of operating system manufacturers (well, OK, Microsoft, since that’s the only OS really targeted by virus makers) providing antivirus tools for free. It’s up to other software vendors to provide better antivirus if they want, but it’s too long smacked of cartel behaviour, and behaviour I’m surprised that the EU hasn’t smacked down in their...
WatchJust as many live concerts are better with earplugs in (why *do* they always crank up the treble so far?), this is better if you’re slightly long-sighted, or squint a little.

Run Run DMC!! Sponsor her $26.20 like now already!
My very own, the one-and-only, the inimitable DMC, is running the New York Marathon this year.
After our inspiring friend Aaron did it last year (his target was to beat Lance Armstrong’s time, which he did), she decided for some reason to take up running and has been loving it. She ran the Brooklyn Half Marathon the other week which gave me my first excuse to get to Coney Island, and has...
More from my inbox, out of my wallet? No.
Despite being President, this nice little man with big ears and time to appear on Colbert, Conan, and Cairo (not to mention to bring his entourage to Manhattan, providing me with a mediocre thrill that in no way made up for the delay in getting my burger) still needs my donations.
I’ve been asked to contribute whatever I can for some grass-roots organizing or something. Perhaps it will make...
Economy great for recruiters, bad for skilled...
With the economy so bad, and so many financial services and web developers out of work these days here in New York, recruiters are finding that they can get away with less and less information all the time, but this rules.
Among the various inconsiderations rammed down the potential employee’s throat by this briefest of e-mails (in response to which, incidentally, I have submitted my...
Hey boy, hey boy! I heard it from a friend about...
If only @andrewgauthier and @capexa had a blog I would link to it.
Perhaps the best gift of the year is their recommendation of The American Astronaut which starts its set of musical interjections with this one.
Low tech. Low budget. At times Solaris, at times Flash Gordon. Just Netflix it already.
