I love a good bacon cheeseburger, but I’m actually grossed out by this. Found at Google’s NYC office cafeteria. What happened to “do no evil”?
Sony’s ad depicts the NYC subway map made entirely out of their headphones. Nice, but needs color.
St. Maarten. Caribbean for ‘crazy’.
His average speed for the race was about 23 MPH. At one point, his top speed was near 32 MPH. To put that in perspective, NYC’s residential street speed limit is 30 MPH, as is most state’s school zones.
She lost half of one leg in a motorbike accident. That means that in the field of 25 for the women’s 10km marathon, 9 finished after her. Official results.
You send them a swab from inside your mouth (and about $400), and in 4-6 weeks they send you a portrait made from your DNA. They also do fingerprints and kisses.
When a 1 hour 36 minute movie takes 4 hours to show.
And before you start thinking too much, I already did the math for you:
- Movie length = 96 minutes
- Total length of showing = 240 minutes
- Total commercial time = 144 minutes (Total length – Movie length)
- Amount of commercial time for each minute of movie time = 1.5 minutes (total commercial time / movie length)
That means that if they display 10 minutes of movie, you have to sit through 15 minutes of commercials.
And you just know the commercials on the Hallmark Movie Channel will make you want to scratch your eyes out.
Update (May 22, 2009) — They’ve done it again!
Great photo, but it only captures the winning moment and can’t convey just how amazing the win was. He was seventh out of eight at the halfway point.
I can’t tell, does the guy filming it think it’s cool?
I was on the phone with a friend of mine, who happens to be blonde, and she started to tell me about a boat party. Since she was on a cell phone, and there was some background noise, I wasn’t sure if she said “boat” or “goat”, so I asked her…
Me: Wait, ‘boat party’ or ‘goat party’?
Her: Boat as in baa.
Me: Uh…um…uh…you, uh…you do realize that didn’t exactly clear it up for me, right?
I got 62. Not bragging; more surprised than anything else.
I was watching TV when a commercial for Verizon FiOS in NYC came on. I noticed that the Verizon installer was using an electronic gadget to keep track of his installation appointments. The gadget looked surprisingly like an Amazon Kindle. That’s when I realized that they must be testing an updated version.
Based on the commercial, we can see the following:
- Same basic size and shape.
- It will have a touch screen with cute little beeps when you touch it.
- It will have either a backlit screen or a much brighter screen.
- It will support custom applications like the Verizon FiOS installation application.
I assume it will be released in time for Christmas.
I’ve included the commercial and some large screen caps below.

I’ve been ahead of this trend, sort of. I’ve been using these bandages any time I’ve had a boo-boo.
