My five-year-old niece stole my phone and typed this. I feel like I’m flipping through the notebooks in Se7en.
Must run in the family.

I had little interest in playing Mass Effect 2 (the first was kinda bland) until I saw this. A character randomly breaking into Gilbert and Sullivan in the middle of one of those normally boring, serious expository conversations. Games need more of this. Hilarious delivery, too.

The perfect antidote for an entirely too stressful day that isn’t over yet.
Article about how physical publishing will be changed with the introduction of the iPad and similar devices. In short, cheap disposable books will all go digital, books that have value inherent in their form will be better designed and more durable, to befit their more permanent nature.

Kanye on Creativity
Am I really putting up something Kanye West said? Yes I am. Because it’s about better. And, I’m inclined to believe this thought, regardless of what I think of the man’s music or behavior.(Oh, and obviously facts still remain.)There’s no such thing as fact anymore, only opinion. The closest thing we have to fact is “common opinion”. Everything is an opinion. The way you dress is an expression of your opinion. Your religious beliefs are your opinion. The music you turn up loud is your opinion. For most people it’s easier to just agree. For me the hardest thing is to ‘just’ agree and that is what sparks creativity, the feeling that something can be better, the feeling that something’s missing. The feeling that something’s needed.

“For me the hardest thing is to ‘just’ agree.”
Beat me to it! This is exactly why, after a lot of the stupid stuff he gets quoted as saying, and a lot of the public persona he projects, I still like Kanye. I don’t always like his music, but the guy has a kind of character I can appreciate.

The Brads – a comic about web design » The Brads – Why DRM Doesn’t Work
Amazon and some others saw how iTunes is doing it right, and now I’ll buy from just about anyone using that model. Why can’t so many other companies figure that out?
Pedigree Dogs ad shot 1000 FPS using the Phantom camera (via jkvetchy)
I’ve been house/dogsitting for my parents this week, it’s reminded me how much I like my old dog and dogs in general. This video encapsulates a lot of the joy of dogs.

I’m a sucker for commonsense but a little quirky health advice like this. I worked all day Friday standing at my bench rather than sitting at my desk. Might alternate days from now on.
