What I learned from 2009
It’s that time of year — a time for reflection and personal renewal. A new year, a clean slate, a fresh start. I’m spending it with the fam, sipping tea in front of a roaring fireplace and watching football — a typical night at the house, but not necessarily one that I don’t enjoy, if only for nostalgia’s sake. All the talk of “the past decade” and...

UPDATE: I have been trolled. Alert the presses.
Our buddy Sean (who uses a different last name, I found out. Multiple personalities? Who knows.) changed his username to http://twitter.com/FormerSiteUser and aborted his Twitter account after he got scared somebody more important than him might stumble upon my little corner of the internet. Heaven forbid an employer finds out that he’s actually a terrible person!

how do these people survive college?
i don’t claim to be any kind of genius, but there is a level of comprehension and self-sufficiency that is all but required to survive in college, any post-secondary student will agree with that. i am constantly amazed at how incredibly sparse these traits seem to be sometimes. this is what sits in my school inbox halfway through finals week:

tetradugenica:
It sucks when people who do blogs post their pictures and are really lame looking. Like chubby 30 year old women with stupid haircuts or chubby guys with a grubby t shirt and a goatee. Since this is tumblr it’s not so surprising when they’re chubby 15 year old girls. Anyway don’t worry about it ever coming from me. I’m super hot and paranoid

Google Squared -- The Next Big Thing →
Google Wave’s been trending on Twitter at the beginning of almost every week, when invites go out, since the product launched. Well stop talking about that stupid crap and get ready to stuff some science between your ears, because Google’s “Next Big Thing” isn’t Wave, it’s hidden in GLabs. Do you need to know a whole lot of specific stuff about a broad topic?...

addendum to "twitter is still awful"
way back here i posted a little article about how twitter sucked and specifically mentioned being blasted by five unnamed real friends for my internet trolling tendencies.
in an ironic twist of fate, i posted a couple “real person” non-trollin’ tweets over the past few days and got @replies from internet trolls saying “yo who cares” “shut up” etc.

Lane et al. v. Facebook, Inc et al.
If you were one of the bazillion people that received an email about Facebook being in a recent settlement, here’s what you should know.
Some sites conspired with a Facebook in-house API called Beacon that allowed third party websites to track your traffic and report it back to Facebook as an item in your feed. Here’s what (from what I understand) would qualify you as a...

i sometimes forget that i’m working on a 3600x1080 desktop. went ahead and added a transparent layer behind text entries so if the text gets superimposed over the background image on your computer, it won’t be nearly as hard to read. took a while to figure out what the hell CSS attribute i needed to play with but i found it all by myself. :)
it was okay then, but now it’s good....

i wrote an article attempting to figure what the hell Twitter was a while back.
…there is one aspect of Twitter that makes me truly appreciate the beast: it ropes in hundreds of thousands of annoying people, people that crave attention to make themselves feel special, and gives their narcissistic musings a place to die. Twitter is, quite literally, a concentration camp for the ego.

So my friend had a theory on why minorities seem to dominate Twitter trend search results: “These people don’t have real Twitter friends. So they all respond to trending topics. And that’s the game, that’s how they use Twitter.” (He wasn’t saying this was “doing it wrong,” just different from what he was used to seeing.)
Some smart people reblogged it. Then a smart...
