How many live in the eight leastpopulated states? Less than 3 percent. Three percent — also known as the margin of error. (Which raises a terrifying scenario: It’s possible these states are completely empty.)
Quick update for everyone, let’s see what I have today. First up, from Better Book Titles, “The Colour of Magic” which is the first book of an amazing series:
If you haven’t watched it before, a short TED talk by Frank Warren of PostSecret. Fun fact, whenever the conversation comes to who I could have dinner with if I could with anyone in the world, Warren is always on my list. I saw him speak at Pitt and it was amazing, so check out the talk.
Good Old Games is finally able to offer the Quest for Glory series. All five games! I’m totally excited and going to be losing a lot of time to these (one and five are the best, in my opinion). Such amazing games!
I’m trying to find a link, but the rumor I heard on a podcast is that in the upcoming Spiderman tie in game, if you preorder (I think from Amazon), you unlock the ability to play as Stan Lee in one of the levels. Epic!
Fairly big update for you today, let’s see what I have.
First up, pretty awesome spot via Copyranter:
Tampa Bay drafted a paralyzed player, who would have been in this year’s draft class. Very, very classy.
I was just talking about Stephen King yesterday, so it’s nice to see him asked to be taxed, but here is the more important quote:
I don’t want you to apologize for being rich; I want you to acknowledge that in America, we all should have to pay our fair share. That our civics classes never taught us that being American means that — sorry, kiddies — you’re on your own. That those who have received much must be obligated to pay — not to give, not to “cut a check and shut up,” in Governor Christie’s words, but to pay — in the same proportion. That’s called stepping up and not whining about it. That’s called patriotism, a word the Tea Partiers love to throw around as long as it doesn’t cost their beloved rich folks any money.
Totally not appropriate for work, but I love watching these three grandmas as they watch the Kim Kardashian sex tape:
The Good Men Project has a top ten list, of why you should only read top ten lists. Very clever, I especially like number four.
There’s a big stink about Dan Savage and his recent remarks. I have a lot of thoughts about it, although he sums it up very well. Please have a read here, it’s long, but it’s worth it. And the sad but true follow up, a study has revealed that non-religious are more compassionate that those who are religious. Guess that’s why the “Christian” Right has been able to draw up so much fake outrage and cries of being bullied when someone uses their own freedom of speech to disagree with them and point out some hypocritical facts about parts of religion.
But anyway, go read the first link, totally worth it. Have a great one, I’ll be back with more soon!
Quick update, let’s see if I can get this in before my battery dies (I forgot to charge my netbook, and since I haven’t had it on in a while, it used all the battery updating itself and all the programs).
First up, a new look at Snow White and the Huntsman (which looks so much better, and darker, than “Mirror Mirror”):
And Copyranter comes through with an awesome outdoor campaign for shampoo, and for JP Morgan Chase. Unlike Copyranter, I really like one of the ads, I think the art direction is amazing:
I’m back from two weeks away, and back to the blog. I’ll be posting more updates soon, as well as a short update about my trip to Maryland/Delaware, but in the meantime, enjoy all of this:
First up, a video from NASA about watching the Northern and Southern Lights from the International Space Station, absolutely beautiful!
Short update, and sadly, probably the last update for a while. I’ll be at a conference for a week and a half and then visiting some friends in Maryland after that, but I’ll be back after. I’ll see if I can check in. I’ve been fighting with the mobile apps for the site, but I’ll keep trying. Anyway, enjoy what I’ve found for you this time:
