I love these stories of people with Apple’s MobileMe who have their iPhones stolen and then retrieved using MobileMe’s GPS location feature.

Sinatra Song Often Strikes Deadly Chord

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:51:42 -0500

Sinatra Song Often Strikes Deadly Chord:

But Mr. Gregorio, 63, a witness to countless fistfights and occasional stabbings erupting from disputes over karaoke singing, did not dare choose one beloved classic: Frank Sinatra’s version of “My Way.”

“I used to like ‘My Way,’ but after all the trouble, I stopped singing it,” he said. “You can get killed.”

The authorities do not know exactly how many people have been killed warbling “My Way” in karaoke bars over the years in the Philippines, or how many fatal fights it has fueled. But the news media have recorded at least half a dozen victims in the past decade and includes them in a subcategory of crime dubbed the “My Way Killings.”

I’m so glad I can’t sing… and dislike karaoke.

A Brief History of Pretty Much Everything

This is the final piece for my AS art course, a flipbook made entirely out of biro pens. It’s something like 2100 pages long, and about 50 jotter books. I’d say I worked on and off it for roughly 3 weeks.

This is just brilliant.

And by the way, the comment by mrverde8080 saying, “not big deal. and used too much tf2 sound. just crap!” proves my point that the internet is full of idiots.

Record Tripping:

This is one of the most amazing Flash games I’ve played. You use your scroll wheel (or trackpad) to DJ scratch items to complete stages. The music and narration just works together so well.

Everything’s amazing; nobody’s happy.

Lately I’ve been thinking about the statement of now-a-days everything is truly amazing and yet no one is happy. Louis CK puts it way better than I ever could.

Logorama (via /Film)

Written and directed by the French team of François Alaux and Herve de Crecy, and created over the course of a few years, this Best Animated Oscar-Nominated short film features a world full of brand logos and corporate mascots.

Very cool short film and I’m not surprised that it took a few years to complete; there are so many different logos.

I really like this advert.

shutup.css:

shutup.css is a custom user stylesheet that can be applied to your browser to hide comments on many popular web sites without user intervention.

I created one these for myself which hides YouTube comments but I’ve moved over to shutup.css since it works on more sites.

Busting an iPhone thief

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 11:07:00 -0500

Busting an iPhone thief:

The whole thing started when my plane landed in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon at 2:55pm coming from Cabo San Lucas. The guy sitting next to me on the plane asked me to loan him a pen so that he could fill out his customs form. I watched him fill out the form and clearly remember his birth year of 1984, but am a bit unsure about his name. I think it was ——-, but in this story, we will refer to him as Pinche.

Brilliant post about a guy whose iPhone is stolen, how he tracks it down and, finally, how he gets it back using websites and MobileMe’s iPhone tracking.
