I think I’ve found the end of the internet. We’ve thought of everything. www.peopletalkingonbananas.com

I downloaded Chrome some time last week and have so far been happy with the results. Very fast browser. I know it’s still new and all but I have run in to a few problems.

The following one I find a little bit hilarious:

Very soon in Eastern standard time it will be 1:10 on 1/1/10. Last night during the New Years festivities my friends and I were remarking on the digital prospects of a new decade. Some time this year it will be

10/10/10

On that day twice it will be

10:10 10/10/10

and also further

10:10:10 10/10/10

My friend, Daniel whose birthday is on December 21 will get to enjoy this tongue twister this decade:

12:21:12 on 12/21/12

My birthday will bring:

10:18:10 on 10/18/10

Just some fun tongue twisting for nerds.

Our most recent positing on Craigslist elicited an odd reCaptcha moment:

To add a bit of context: our posting on craigslist was for a room in our apartment. We were using my girlfriend’s computer. She is jewish. So the “random generation” was all the more to the point and bizarre in it’s hilarity. [The room is still available and open to one of any faith]

Perhaps her computer is just sending her messages in general. Here’s what iPhoto had to say about her:

Perhaps I was just really tired when I read this this morning, but I read it as “Lawmakers trip, hit tourist hotspots.” — which of course, has a decidedly different meaning. Though bizarre, the connotation fills me with joy.

Though tumblr has more than it’s share of hipsters (see thundrrr and hrrrthrrr ), look at this fucking hipster is an entire tumblog devoted to pictures of hipsters.

Steven Tartick’s photo montage of the graffiti (and counter-graffiti) in an SVA bathroom reminds me much of the long dialogues strewn about the halls at my alma mater.

First there is the well designed and printed decals quoting statistics meant to insight thoughtfulness about inequities in IT and graphic design. Then there are the comments scrawled on and around the decals critiquing the statements.

I find both rather poignant at times though some of the handwritten comments are rather low blows.

I remember hearing that in my school’s library there was an entire series of articles published in a newsletter format, regularly inscribed on the bathroom walls of the womens’ restroom. I wonder if they still exist.
