I know what you’re thinking, “R. Kelly and Broken Social Scene? Are you mad?” but it WORKS. Just try to ignore the fly-compound-eye-vajazzled glasses that R. Kelly is wearing. They consumed at least half of my mental space as I was watching this.
This is a completely accurate diagram. It should be made in pamphlet form and handed out near barber shops (because the nefarious facial hair-dos would naturally only emerge from a barber shop).
Seuss is currently sitting at “trustworthy”, but it wasn’t that long ago that he was sporting something that bumped him up closer to “threatening” or “dangerous”. See if you can guess which ones he has dabbled in recently. See this post for reference.
So you’re hiking from Miami to Ushuaia, and you find a stray kitten in Louisiana. Said kitten stays with you for the remainder of your 15,000 km trek, riding on your backpack and shoulders. Does it GET any cuter than this? I bleened all over my laptop. I’m practically wiping brains off the screen, that’s how overwhelmingly cute this is.
Look at this site and tell me this isn’t awesome. Whenever I see Justin Bieber now, I see a lesbian.
SomeLemonade – you look nice, and if all I was looking for was multimedia content, you’d be great. But where are all the text posts from the people I follow???
Tumblrize – I FUCKING LOVE YOU. You have simplified my blogging life by automatically posting what I write on my blog also on my Tumblr, all with a neat and tidy WordPress plugin. <3
Seesmic (desktop) – so far I’m pleased. You show me multiple Twitter accounts in one window, and I love you for that. This is going to make my life significantly less frustrating.
Ping.fm – I’m excited at the potential you have. You’ve included all the social media sites I use, and about 50 I don’t, which is cool. You’ve also included about 20 ways for me to update via your site, including email and several IM clients, which is also impressive. Given the complexities, however, you’re going to take a helluva lot more time to explore.
Tarpipe – you look awesome, so much functionality. You hear that whizzing sound? That’s the sound of most of that functionality going right over my head. If I was a developer, I would probably be super stoked. I’m impressed, but in a really lost and confused sort of way.
Social media is going to drive me to drink. This blog used to be the only thing I had to keep track of, but in a fit of madness I have also gotten myself tangled up in Twitter and Tumblr. I’ve got 8 or so clients/apps on the go to try and find the best way to streamline things for myself, but they all seem to be missing something. Ping.fm seems promising, but I have the additional issue of having to manage multiple accounts within each platform on top of everything else.
Facebook is another complicated matter, as I don’t generally cross-post what I do here over there and vice versa. Myspace is a beast that I rarely tangle with, but I’ve got an account there too. Where to update? And when? I keep seeing advertisements for apps that consolidate your social media accounts so you can see them all in one place, but if we’re all cross-posting, that consolidation is going to be a mess of duplicated posts.
I feel this all building up into an avalanche of data that’s going to bury and smother us all. No wonder people are killing all their accounts.
If only I had known all of these helpful tips when I was single.
“Ooops, I spilled wine all over you, now you have to take your clothes off. Did I mention I really like hockey? Mike Comrie is my fave.”
Via indistinguishablefromayoyo, who is single and wants you to spill alcoholic beverages on him.
I don’t even understand. Japanese quasi-Catholics who perform yogurt-lubricated “correct sex” in front of the congregation. The more I read about them, the less I understand. It’s not the language barrier, it’s the crazy barrier. Did I mention that the woman who has sex with the pastor is a “virgin” who has been pregnant for 3 years? Apparently with twins, the product of parthenogenesis.
Japanese people are perfectionists at everything, including insanity.
Overheard at Mucho Burrito at lunch:
“Hamsters are classified as bears. No, they totally are. That’s why some of them are called ‘teddy bear hamsters’.”
“Mammals are anything that has hair.”
“Reptiles are anything that isn’t a mammal or a bird or doesn’t fit into the other categories.”
I love it when posts basically write themselves.
