We Are The World 25 For Haiti - Official Video (via wearetheworld)


I don’t know what’s worse:



  • That 25 years later I remember this damn song word by word.

  • That I can’t recognize 9 out of 10 people I see in this video.

  • That most of the people singing in the video sound autotuned (seriously guys?)

  • That 9 of 10 people in this video would had not met the talent cutoff had they tried to sneak into the original video 25 years ago.

  • Autotune. Seriously guys? I mean, c’mon!


I am done, if this video doesn’t make me officially old, I don’t know what will.


At least they had the common decency to leave Michael in place.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected.  Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
