Look everyone it’s a blimp that technically doesn’t float:

And here is another article from Time, from waaay back, on board the USS Akron. TRIVIA: The USS Akron was one of two fully rigid “Aircraft carrier Blimps” built before World War 2.

In case you were all fired up by the best speech ever made by America’s cutest governor ever, you may enjoy some hot Tigh/Roslin electoral action.

Oh, and thank you Wonkette for introducing me to my favorite new term, “snowbilly.”

While checking out the comic that introduced Google’s new browser last night, I kept thinking, “Damn if this style doesn’t remind me of Understanding Comics.”

Well that would be because they were both done up by Scott McCloud. DUDE!

So, if you are a fan of Scott McCloud’s other non-fiction works you may enjoy reading “Understanding Google Chrome” or whatever the hell the promo comic is called. It’s actually pretty technically interesting, and the storytelling is good too (it had better be!).

What.

Seriously, you need to keep track of your shit. If you insist on being careless, someone may come across your lost trove of family pictures and make a Youtube video like this:

This means those pictures files are still floating around somewhere. Oh my…

I am serious. For $110,000 this could be yours:

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK

I was listening late Monday night to the rerun of Forum on KQED, which is usually kinda okay, kinda boring, usually way more interesting until people actually start calling in and ruining everything. I know I should like the callers more, especially with a show named “Forum” but come one. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and some of the dumbfucks who call in are just intolerable in their smugness. Or they are just stupid as hell. I really like Mr. Krasny as he is actually quite awesome.

Anyway, Michael Krasny and David Levitin were talking about music and the development of the human consciousness and all that, and it was actually pretty good. Then this guy called in, rambling a bit, and all of a sudden he says I AM A HEROIN ADDICT and their whole show just turns…fucked up. The hosts take it in stride, but I can only imagine their “HOLY SHIT” faces when he dropped the H-bomb. On a completely unrelated subject.

The show is archived, of course, and here is the source:

The direct download is here, in mp3 format.

You can list to the whole half-hour affair, or just skip ahead twenty minutes or so, since the show closes on his call…!

So, it looks like the bug fixes in the newest version of Wordpress (2.6.1) contains a funny error on the Admin page:

If you upgrade Wordpress to 2.6.1 you may get stuck with an inadvertently hilarious upgrade alert.

The whole “Instruction for a…” series is one of my favorite things ever. It is never quite what you think…

Remember when blogs were awkwardly called “Webzines”? Ah, thought not. Kids these days. They don’t even remember the glorious Crashsite.

Speaking of these sorts of things, we’re trying to get several new and interesting things up here a day, and that is not a fluke. Hooray!

Since I lost a post about a massive solar farm, never to see it again, I will instead present you with a link to the Fail blog.
