Insomniac's Lounge

Everyone needs a little laugh. And a little inspiration.
Man, this does it.

Enjoy.

Great. I found the iron last night.

Man. I am working on this really really hard work task. Well, it's hard, yes. But, the real pain is how long it takes to figure it out. The problem involves ant and doing an ant build each time. So, each time I run the build, I've got to wait several minutes before I can examine the results, figure out if it worked or not, then continue.

Meanwhile, a friend of mine pointed me to The Bugle podcast. I'm listening to an episode now while working. It's good stuff, especially if you like British humour. "It's a fine combination of Daily Showesque news parody, including coverage of world politics, sports, and history. Funny stuff." I gotta agree. It's a ribtickler.

Maybe we should get one of these in Austin ;-)

I may just need sleep but this is a good stuff.

The resignation letter of the Flickr founder Stewart Butterfield from Yahoo. When you have $35 million in the bank you can pretty much say whatever you want. We common folk have to be ummm less creative with our words. Bastards. Good stuff though. Talk about making guys with Philosophy degrees proud.

This made me laugh. Ala Christian Busch:

If you've seen Idiocracy, this is 2 jokes in one:

The title is

Nut Butter Balls
with
ELECTROLYTES

Hey. It's got what plants need!

Fun geek quiz ala juneadelle.

I got 82%. The wife got 42%. She's a bit unnerved that she got that high of a score. I laughed as she got some of the really geeky ones rights. We have infected her and made her one of us! :-)

Damn. I missed the Idiotarod yesterday. Could have been fun to watch.

Check out some of the photos:

• Best of the Idiotarod (Gothamist)

OK. I read this on Planet Ubuntu (blog) on the subway ride over and had to try it this morning.

Go to Google.
Type "find chuck norris".
Click I'm Feeling Lucky. You have to click THAT button not the one you normally click.

Enjoy.

I used to read the Onion from time to time. It's been a long time. They have put out a book. Might make for some chuckles.

From Boing Boing, I know everyone likes a cool diagram. And this Venn diagram might be one of them. Are you are a hipster music snob? This t-shirt might be for you.
