Twitter Friends
atsween: Whenever I tell someone I’ve met people in real life that I met through Twitter and Tumblr, they usually say, “Why?” The assumption is people you meet on the Internet are sexual predators or stunted man-boys living in their parents’ basements. (And we are. But I digress.) The funny thing about this whole Twitter/Tumblr thing is that it is a funny thing. The community developed around...

themattsmith: DON’T FUCKING DRIVE. I’m sick of going 5 mph because you can’t get your shit together. x2. Roads weren’t that bad this morning but my 40-minute commute took 95 minutes.

Products That Don't Need Apologies
Yesterday I took my iPhone in to get serviced for the second time. The first time I went in about a year ago because I cracked the screen while climbing around on ladders at work. It was completely my fault but I went to the genius bar and Apple just handed me a new phone at no cost to me. So the second time that I took my iPhone in (this time for a faulty vibrate switch), a second time I had a...

Before we rush to judgment, remember...
nebraska-admiral: My thoughts are going out to Giffords and her staff. Before we rush to judgment, remember: Assassins aren’t always politically motivated. Think John Hinckley or The Family’s attempted hit on Ford. We may all have right wing on our minds, but nothing is known yet. But God, this is so horrific.  Because this sooo needs repeating right now.

Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) Shot →
Sounds bad. Unofficial statements from witnesses (which should be treated at rumors at this point) say a gunman ran up to the congresswoman while she was speaking to a couple people at a Safeway in her district. Rumor has it she was shot point blank in the head, at least one other person seriously wounded, and several other staffers injured as well to unknown extents. I’ll save my comments...

MKE Meetup Snafu
littletinyfish: smoketest: I called Transfer Pizzeria to warn them about our large group showing up tomorrow and it turns out that they’re filled to the brim with reservations tomorrow evening; they said we can come in at 6p, but there will be a lengthy wait. They also said 9p works a lot better, but we could also always do a change of venue. So I’m putting this up to a vote: Show up @ 6p...

980 Million Squirrels
For squirrels to eat in a day the amount of pizza Americans eat in a year, it would take 980,000,000 squirrels. Also turns out that Americans eat an average of 60.7million cu. ft. of pizza a year, so for a cubic pizza, each side would be 393ft. long. We have a proof to support these claims based on squirrels eating 2.3oz. of food per day and Americans eating 90 acres of pizza each day. While...

serendipifree: I’m sick. meeehhh It’s weird how you never realize how much it sucks to be sick when you’re healthy. And then when you’re sick again you just want to die if you can’t be healthy instead. LOL life sux I take this a step further. When I’m healthy, I welcome illness and disease out of naive arrogance. I enjoy being surrounded by unfriendly bacteria because it helps prepare...

2011 company healthcare premiums +9.4%
danielholter: themattsmith: danielholter: awesome sauce. Hey, you don’t have to pay for my insurance- that means I get a raise right? I suppose if you want to get chippy about it, we could argue that I do pay for your health insurance (Kel’s teacher plan) through my lovely taxes. :) They’ll get us all, one way or another. Calm down, Dee-Holt. Any paranoia you have about this country...

Enough excuses - JSOnline →
On Wednesday, the online news site The Daily Beast ranked Milwaukee the drunkest U.S. city. High fives, everybody! Amirite? Okay, I call a mulligan on that — one more try. Another miss? Dude, we’ll get this, don’t worry. Ahh fuck it, doesn’t matter. We’ll try high-fiving again once we sober up. It’s time for me to pick my kids up from daycare anyways. ...
