This drive is so hot, it’s steaming! From the Fry’s ad on 11/6… time to find a new proofreader!

Blog Widget Fun: Where did you get those children?

While reading Glenn's post on reading resumes (something I've spent a ton of time doing lately), I clicked through to Guy Kawasaki's piercing blog post about cover letters. What cracked me up the most, though, was what the Alltop Widget embedded in the page apparently thought the post was about: slavery news.

Fail: product labeling

I had my own Fail Blog moment at the hotel I’m staying and just had to capture it. Not sure if the picture will come through (all I had was my iPhone), but the label says “Mouth wash: $20 pesos”. The product being sold on the other hand: What have you been eating or drinking [...]

My Favorite Presidential Election Moment

This was right at 8pm even when the polls closed on the west coast. King 5 wanted to make sure they were one of the first to call the election, but apparently it didn’t matter that there weren’t any votes counted in WA yet… even according to them! Check out who’s winning and by what [...]

After a bunch of Google’ing and cleaning out memory-cobwebs, we finally remembered it. Do any of you remember Spirograph? You can still get one at Amazon for your favorite youngin’ in your family. photo [...]

Just so very wrong

A couple of the people at work were showing me something funny on this website (unwanted cat keyboard protector) and then showed me something quite creepy and disturbing. That is all.

Go Flickr… ever get irritated by someone’s crappy parking job. Now you can air their behavior for all on Flickr.

Scanning U.S. Currency

I received one of the new $5 bills in change the other day which prompted myself and a coworker to wonder how they did the rumored anti-counterfitting protection. So I thought I’d try it out. I tossed the new $5 and an old $5 into the scanner we have at work to see what would [...]

Photoshop Mistakes

bryan — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 04:40:39 +0000

As a product manager and the guy working with the design folks at Redfin each day, I spend a lot of my time looking at “comps” (Photoshop image files for something that will be turned into web pages.) Comps are used to tune up the design ideas and execution until it’s ready for developers to [...]

Boing Boing: Food Fight = Brilliant

bryan — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 04:07:02 +0000

A short video of the history of war told through food. The sound and animations are awesome. My sisters’ comments: 1. “That’s fantastic! I’ve never seen croissants run away that fast.” 2. “You send the weirdest things. And we saw the IED coming a mile away.”
