XKCD makes my life so much better.

Thank gad I found this:

You can catch Karl, Saul, and I in quite a few scenes, though Saul’s close-up around 00:49 is not to be missed.

Artificial Flash Mobs Found on Craigslist For the Win?

Another burst of brilliance by the Washington Post’s Tom Toles. (HT @stereogab)

“Art, tech, and authorship” are the purported foundation on which this blog is built.

Taking that “authorship” part in a different direction, I want to talk about the authors of books. Or rather…I recently talked about the authors of books on the blog of my aforementioned friend/fellow blogger, Holly.

Want to know what not to say when a date asks what your favorite book is? My personal beef is with Dan Brown — and I’m not alone — but other women flagged other titles, including Ayn Rand, Lolita, and a lot of hate for Catcher In The Rye. It’s worth a click here to see what a few twenty-somethings dearly hope you avoid. Agree? Disagree? Share your thoughts.

…The least you could have done was pick up The Secret or, like, The Mermaid Chair. Then we could have a conversation about /why/ you were so struck by the text. But Dan Brown’s progeny? Nah. You are lazy, semi-allergic to books, and think that your fake knowledge of fake history will impress me (hint: it won’t). Worst of all, as a date you reveal that you’re not even dorky enough to realize you could have better spent your time watching Indiana Jones.

Burn.
