“

When you’re twisting balloons for children, never tell them what you’re making. The majority of the finished products—despite your best attempts—almost always look like a dog, a blastula, or something vaguely phallic. If you identify what you’re actually attempting to make, the children will respond to your finished product with, “That doesn’t look like a [insert animal name]…”

But if you make the animals and then ask, “What does it look like to you?” the child’s imagination will take over, turning the blue, four-legged balloon into Blue from Blue’s Clues, the blastula into a Pokemon, and the phallic object into an elephant.

You’ll also get bonus points because you were so cool for making exactly what they wanted.

So my daughter wants a mobile phone

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:27:02 -0800

bijan:

This morning, like most Fridays, I take my daughters to breakfast before school (the boy hangs at home with mom. No preschool on Fridays)

My oldest is now 10. And these days she is selling me hard on why she wants a phone.

This morning was no different.

I’m not ready to give her one yet. And i gave her my reasons.

Then she asked “dad, when did you get your first phone?”

I replied, “I didn’t get one until I was 22”

She laughed “hey, tell me the truth!”

I say “I am. Really”

She pipes back “I’m gonna ask grandma when she first bought you a phone”

I then say “look, Sophia, they didn’t even have cell phones when I was your age”

Her reply - “no way”

Christopher's Gentle Fist

cdixon:

Buying something on Amazon today I noticed this graphic near the checkout button:

Apparently if I enter “Christopher’s Gentle Fist” on other websites I can use my Amazon shipping and payment info:

I would argue that when we’ve gotten to the point that we are asking users to type phrases like “Christopher’s gentle fist” in order to buy underwear and laptops, it is time to rethink our online payment security model.

Agreed. This thing is dumb.

Corpse Spam

File Under: Spammers are really smart (and funny).

So apparently in World of Warcraft you can’t spam people with commercial messages or you get kicked off. However, there is a lot of money in selling gold to players and there are a bunch of sites that competing to sell it to you. So their solution, as Seamus at Virtual Economics explains is to arrange a bunch of dead bodies in the game to spell out their URL:

Go to any major city (Stormwind, Orgrimmar) and you’ll see the name of some gold-selling website or other spelled out in dead bodies on the ground. Now, it’s quite hard to spell out URLs in dead bodies (it takes several corpses, hence player accounts that you have to hack from somewhere - to spell out each one) so the big trick is to get a URL that is short, ideally memorable and above all easy to spell out in the dead bodies of WoW avatars.

President Obama confirmed that cyber-warriors have aimed at American networks. “We know that cyber-intruders have probed our electrical grid,” he said at the White House in May…

“In other countries, cyberattacks have plunged entire cities into darkness.”

Apple closes in on Microsoft, finally. Fantastic.

Rather amazing. For the decade Apple is above their best from before the crash and Microsoft is at their worst since before the crash.
