It never occurred to me before that when whales breach, the remoras (suckerfish) that hitched a ride are flung through the air too.

Chris Ware’s rejected Fortune 500 cover design — great job of satirizing the very companies that the magazine intends to celebrate. And thanks to the internet, this image will probably get more coverage than the approved design. [Ware] showed a cover he did for Fortune magazine which was supposed to be on the Fortune 500 issue.  He accepted the job because it would be like doing the 1929 issue of the magazine, and he filled the image with tons of satirical imagery, like the U.S. Treasuring being raided by Wall Street, China dumping money into the ocean, homes being flooded, homes being foreclosed, and CEOs dancing a jig while society devolves into chaos. The cover, needless to say, was rejected. The image is by Chris Ware, the quote above is from IndiePulp and via BoingBoing.

Domain squatters are irritating, but the experience at scientists.com is just too hilarious…”oh, I can’t be mad at you!” Check out the right rail: Related searches: sexual picture | asian massage | Military I particularly enjoyed the image of soldiers lined up at the top of the page. Well done squatters, you’ve certainly earned this highly desirable url — too bad scientists generally don’t have any money to be strong-armed by your shady practices.

Gliding and turning, are the essence of skateboarding I think.

We made so much fun of this poor guy.

I deleted my Facebook account. …Facebook (and similar online services) has a de-humanizing effect. I want to cultivate real human relationships, and not have my relationships intermediated by a comprooter. I’d really rather hang out in person, chat on the phone, etc. Call it a post-SXSWi psychic hangover.
