5 most [uselessly] talented people on the internet

Degree of difficulty: 6 out of 10. Half God-given gift, half dedicated training. (Note that this is in reference to the scream, not his insane, bulging package. Studies show that packages are entirely God-given.)

Degree of usefulness: 7 out of 10. Loses a point because it’s not the ’80s anymore. Still, with range like that, you’d have to be pretty ugly to not develop a career in singing. (Or porn. Seriously, did you see that thing? It was so well-defined, so hermetically sealed in acid wash that I could draw it from memory.)

The Five Most Talented People on the Internet

Wondering where that beautiful man is from? Please take note at 2:15... that is all.

Wat?

Wtf is the internet?

3. Before blogs... there were 'zines. If you wanted to delve in the world of personal publishing in the early 90's, it was pretty spendy. Desktop publishing with Adobe Pagemaker required investing big bucks into a high-end Mac and a state-of-the-art laser printer. Most young people stuck to cutting and pasting scraps onto blank paper and then xeroxing the final product.

5. Before blogrolls and comments... there were web rings and guest books. Sites on similar subjects used link out to each other in a promotional circle jerk called a "web ring." Guestbooks used to be the hot way to leave comments, until bots were developed to harvest the e-mail addresses for the the worst kinds of spam imaginable.

11. Before Craigslist... there was the men's room wall. Local newspapers would only publish "vanilla" dating ads. So, how did geeks and other shy people manage to hook up? The restroom wall, of course! Gay guys would post phone numbers and set meeting times for man-to-man encounters. Straight dudes would post the numbers of their ex's and innocent girls they wanted to harass.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former" -Albert Einstein

Meet 19 year old Lynzee Stauss. The author of “College isn’t necessary”. Lynzee believes that women should not have to go to college. Why you ask? Well because the boys should have to, and these boys need to work if they want to have a good life. She believes that a husband should get home from work so she can “go out to eat with all the money he makes and also pay the bills.” You can read the rest of her grammatically amusing article below.

Technosex [NSFW... too late]

I've never been a fan of girls in bikinis on the hoods of tricked out civics, or on the back of choppers. But I can look at pictures of hot women with some kind of gadget or piece of technology all day. Throw in some sex and you've got my attention for sure. Check out Gizmodo for a few more, the above one is the best though.

Maybe ill have to post some Macenstein "Mac Girl of the Month" pictures...

Google the omnipresent juggernaut

What won't, no wait can't Google do? They have gone no where but up since they began. Started in '96 by two Ph.D. students from Stanford with a new vision for search engines. They incorporated in '98 and opened trading on the stock market in Aug of '04 making millionaires our of many of its own employees. Following their motto of "Don't be evil", Google.org was created in '04 to raise awareness about climate change, global public health, and global poverty. Most recently they played a huge role the formation and continuing work on the Open Handset Alliance. Now... wait for it, they are putting googols (haha get it) of money into developing sources of renewable energy that will be cheaper than coal. I think in the bible when they talked about the second coming of Jesus they we're really just referring to the formation of Google and its ongoing search to make the world a better place.

Ars Technica: "Google hopes to undercut coal with cheap, renewable energy"

An interesting fact(paradox). The term "Google" is searched for more than the terms God, Jesus, Allah, Buddha, Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism COMBINED.
