“And we gotta do it quick, that’ll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin’ basis.”
- Quint
I’m saddened to hear the Jaws ride is closing at Universal Studios in Orlando, it being my favorite movie. I was lucky enough to experience it once, though I was maybe 12 or 13 years old and don’t have as solid a memory of it as I’d like....

As someone who knows next to nothing about...
Why does the voice for Siri sound exactly like the same awkward, choppy,first version of the voice for every other technological talking voice thing down the line? Why don’t they just use the best one available that all the technological talking voice things use right now that sound like real people, like GPS or most kids’ toys?
Why the Novel Still Matters
thetangential:
There are two big arguments for why the novel, as we know it, is dying.
1) People are spending less time with fiction, and with books. We’re opting for small bites, like blog posts, and socially-recommended reading.
2) Linear written stories are being downplayed thanks to new technology that creates interactive, multimedia-aided storytelling.
But those things don’t matter....

popculturebrain:
Here’s the explanation.

So I sorta started another blog...
In an attempt to make myself an even larger dork, I’m taking a stab at (what I think is) fan fiction. Here is Curbature - fictional situations/conversations/scenarios I think would be funny for Larry David on Curb Your Enthusiasm. It could suck, but it’s kinda fun when you picture it…so take a look!

Good Cup/Bad Cup
In 1674, a group of London women grew angry with their husbands for spending so much time at coffeehouses (often in an attempt to sober up after the pub), and published a pamphlet warning that the beverage would make them impotent.
