We all not only could know everything. We do. We just tell ourselves we don’t to make it all bearable

Matthew Buchanan designed a fantastic theme for blogging service Tumblr based on the design work of Saul Bass.
Wow, excellent. This is my new theme from now on. Until I make one for myself.
An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.

The Ultimate Washing Detergent Test: The Postal System.
Ad campaign for Breeze Excel where clothing detergent samples were sent in a box wrapped in a white tshirt, so when arrived it was perfectly dirty to test the sample on! Very clever indeed!
Very smart and good idea. Very good detergent if it removes the ink as well.
Underwater snake robot will instill a fear of swimming in you“Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water — you see the above video of a lifelike, infinitely creepy snake robot that swims through a pool, presumably sniffing for human flesh to feed on.
Developed by the Hirose Fukushima Lab in Japan, the robot was designed to explore the movement mechanics of snakes and how they’re able to move easily with no appendages. Now that they’ve developed a robot that can clearly swim pretty easily in water, it’s not clear what they’ll use it for other than terrifying beachgoers, but I’m sure they’ll come up with something a bit more useful. I hope so at least.”

Secrets about the internet
The most common word in search queries is “photos”. Number two? “Fotos.” The associated words indicate that people are usually searching for pictures of naked women and cars.
Blog readers don’t click on ads. Most ads are clicked by confused, lost, nontechnical people who arrived from a Google results page and think that the ad will take them to what they were really looking for. (This is why domain-squatting with ad pages is so profitable.) Many blogs have disabled ads for everyone except Google referrals without losing significant income. Many others have started showing more ads to Google referrals.
Nobody ever donates with those PayPal Donate buttons.
The majority of SEO is bullshit.
There are a lot more confused, lost, nontechnical people using the internet than any of us realize. And they greatly outnumber us.
Most internet use in the U.S. is during the workday by people browsing at work (when they’re supposed to be working). Younger people use social networks more, while older people play Flash games and read gossip sites more. Traffic on most sites drops significantly on weekends, especially popular travel weekends.
Good to know. Now how does he know that?

guy: Snoop and Everlast’s ode to Johnny Cash.
Weird. Sort of catchy. Some snapshots of Amsterdam in there. And I thought, why Amsterdam, but then I remembered it’s where americans come to get high.
“It’s no big deal. It’s just the future of humanity.” Well, I don’t know about that, but if there was ever a meme that deserves to be spread, it’s this.
Beautifully done and very nice logo as well.
Some excellent graffiti on a Tallahassee, FL wall from Chris.
