Robin Williams – Weapons Of Self Destruction

Outside of the US, Robin Williams is mostly known for his movie acting career.  But in the States, his stand-up comedy success goes hand-in-hand with the movies and theater.  I’ve seen quite cuts of his gigs on YouTube, but it’s a first time that I came across a full-length show.  “Weapons of Self Destruction” is a 1.5 hour video on YouTube.  If you don’t mind a lot of swearing, it will send you laugh, while covering a variety of subjects – from stereotypes and politics to progress and drugs abuse.  Enjoy!

Foursquare’s adorable puppy

One thing I like about people who love what they do is that they usually don’t take themselves too seriously.  They can smile and joke about the things they passionately love.  Today I came across an example from Foursquare.  In the Settings screen about the notifications that Foursquare sends to you, there is an option to “Also include an adorable picture of a puppy in my weekly update“.  Here is a screenshot in case this will disappear with time.
