Reading Linus Torvalds’ blog I came across this paragraph:
Not that I actually ever really minded wearing glasses, but I could not recognize my own kids when in a swimming pool and they were more than six feet away. And let’s face it. swimming after other peoples kids and tickling them is not socially acceptable. At least in the US.
Laughing…
I don’t know if this was posted by someone else somewhere else before (probably it was), but that’s what I came up with yesterday, while explaining our password policy to one of the (male) colleagues.
Passwords are like women:
Judging by reaction, I got the point across.
How well are you familiar with YouTube celebrities – Numa Numa, the Star Wars kid, leave Britney alone, Coke and Mentos, etc? If you missed any, of if you want to refresh your memory, here are they all on one page. The first clip is a music video “Pork and Beans” by Weezer band. After that, each and every one of them in a separate, original video. Loads of fun!
Via Exler’s blog I came across these two videos. First is the really amazing walking robot. This is the best I’ve seen so far (although I am not a big robot fan or anything). This robot walks better than many humans that I know. Even better than I can do myself. A must see.
Secondly comes the hilarious parody for the above video. If you saw the first video and haven’t laughed at the second one – there is something really strange with your sense of humor. It must be broken I guess.
Check them out!
First of all, a confession. I was aware of the fact that there is such a show (or video podcast) – Diggnation. I was aware of the fact that it is somehow related to the Digg web site. And I think I even remember watching a couple of episodes a long time ago. But, all of that was in my passive memory. I wouldn’t remember what the show was about, if it was funny at all, or even who or how many of the hosts there were. So, when I was checking the agenda for The Next Web Conference 2008, I couldn’t have imagined what the “DIGGnation, live recorded from Amsterdam!” entry at the end of day 1 was all about.
The situation started to change when I noticed that at the end of the day there was a stream of new people in the conference hall, and that many of them were wearing Diggnation t-shirts. That kind of looked suspicious – are they all coming specifically for the show while avoiding the conference as a whole? It turned out it was indeed so (I later spoke to a few people who came from all over Europe just for Diggnation).
The Diggnation live in Amsterdam episode is up and you can see yourself how it was. There was also a live stream during the recording, and the whole thing was somewhat longer with preparations and closing of the show, but it will give you an idea of how it went. There were indeed a few rounds of free beers for the audience, and there was indeed this awesome dude with two joints for the hosts.
I enjoyed the show so much that I actually watched a few episodes back and will probably watch the new ones now and then. If have a very sensitive sense of humor, you should probably skip. All the rest – you’ll have a blast.
