The Freakonomics blog often has good stuff in it, even if you haven’t read the book, which also has good stuff in it. > “Mitai Sandy, a 29-year-old graphic artist and comic-book publisher in Tel Aviv, came up with the following solution: a new anti-Semitic cartoon co...
Read more →This one was probably one of the most talked about sites. The principle is, Flickr is nice, but no one really wants to take the time to tag. So instead, with Riya, after you upload your images, you can search for them based on who is in them and where they were taken. But the trick is that it uses image recognition to help you locate the pictures. Pretty impressive! Check out Riya.
Funny.

I got this in an email, not sure exactly where it came from but it’s pretty cool. The image looks like it’s moving, doesn’t it? But actually it’s not an animation at all. It’s your brain that getting its circuits scrambled. You know how you can tell? Just cover most of the image with your hands and look at a small part. It doesn’t move. Amusing!

Read more →Hanging a picture on the wall? The perennial question, “how high should it be”? Here’s the formula, handed down from the decorating gods: 60″ + height of the frame / 2 – distance between the top edge and the hook Supposedly works perfect, every time.

I write a lot of emails and IMs with smileys 🙂 and big smileys 😀 in them. It’s very effective. But there’s one that keeps coming up for which for some reason there’s no correct emoticon, at least as far as I know… I need an emoticon to denote a funny question. Haven’t you had that need 🙂 ? I need an emoticon to denote a funny question. Haven’t you had that need ? 🙂 See the problem? Is there one that exists or do we have to create a new one 😕 Technorati Tags: funny

A company that was launched at the Demo conference (which i am going to this year) is deploying in North Dakota: > “A trial balloon will be launched in the next few weeks to test the idea, said Schafer, who left office in 2000 after eight years as governor.” (from Associated Press) It just struck me as funny. (People ask: how much time does it take you to do a post every day in your blog? This one took less than 100 seconds. Would have been less if not for this parenthesized meta-joke.)
