Hate by Numbers counts the reasons why the Black Eyed Peas’ “I Got a Feeling” is officially the worst song ever.
I actually didn’t mind the song… It’s kinda catchy… but HbN has made me realize how ridiculous the song actually is. Now I’m embarassed that I ever sang along with it when it came up on the radio. Black Eyed Peas, what has happened to you?

About last night...
evangotlib:
So a lot of folks were disturbed by my post last night about the pilot using my laptop and wi-fi card to find a new route. I would have explained last night, but we didn’t get to Dallas until after 1am and I went right to sleep.
There were two or three different lines of storms in the west and south that were effecting all Newark outbound air traffic. There is no mechanism on a...

“I am an internet entrepreneur and have found the most
intriguing business model...”
– If you ever wanted to know what it’s like to run the NY Tech Meetup, it can involve sending a lot of email replies which say “Let’s not and say we did.” (via innonate)

I hate to say it, but I think this is a good thing. Recent college graduates have had it too good for too long. We need to learn that the good life doesn’t come easy. It can’t be fueled by easy work, easy credit, subsidized rent from our parents. We need to have a hard...
Friend: my horoscope today and tomorrow are both undefined
Me: solution: don't read your horoscope
Friend: haha
Friend: its so true tho
Friend: all the time
Me: if you want it to be true, it will be
Me: it's a weird thing that the brain does called conditioning and rationalization
Me: (I lived with 2 professional magicians, they tell me all about this weird shit)
Me: "Anything that will bring your family closer together will make for a memorable time. So much can be accomplished if you listen and discover what the people in your life want, need and are aspiring to achieve. 4 stars"
Me: that was my horoscope yesterday, and had nothing to do with my day
Me: try reading yesterday's horoscopes for a little experiment

University Offers New Grade For Cheating Students:... →
blogofastudent:
One of the most interesting points here is that a school system is willing to redesign their grading and gpa system in an effort to thwart cheating which presumably they spent much money researching and designing. Yet, they refuse the accept the idea theat their concept of how to educate people might be out-dated. Instead of trying to grasp at a system that appears to be failing if...

Higher IQ scores at age 10 may be associated with alcohol-related problems in adulthood. Public health experts from the University of Glasgow were able to obtain the childhood mental ability scores of over 8,000 men and women in their 30s, and found — much to their surprise — the higher IQ, the higher the likelihood of developing a drinking problem. The correlation...
