Another “Look! I’m not dead!” post
Here are some interesting things:
- Fingerprints are signal processors for touch
- Well, that’s one way to decorate for Christmas, but not the recommended way.
- Reminds me of my dad
- This is how I always pictured parenting.
- Via the Macalope, Amen.
This is labeled as “fail” but I think of it more as “win” – truth in advertising, and the like.

And finally, a link that is most likely not safe for work, regarding how one wipes one’s bum… if you ever thought that privacy was dead, keep these interesting stats in mind:
- There is a 50/50 split between sitters and standers
- Each half is completely unaware the other half exists
- Amongst the standers there is a 50/50 split between those that simply stand up and those that stand, turn, and face the toilet.
I think it’s the idea that every person on earth has the same biological needs regarding restroom usage, and yet we’re completely unaware of how other people are meeting those needs, that makes me think privacy, is, in fact, not dead at all. But for something to be private, the vast majority of folks in that society has to agree that it’s a private matter. And that’s what’s really missing from most things today.
Regardless, the article is interesting reading and full of laughs, so long as bottom humor isn’t offensive to you.
Ramblings
I have an absolute killer headache. It’s been around since noon. Not fun.
The most recent A Girl & Her Fed got me giggling though… third-tier villains shouldn’t be adopted unless you’re really going to take care of them.
Basic Instructions also had some “helpful” information on how to evaluate a new medication…

And I’m working on comics.
Meanwhile, here’s some stuff from the internet:
- Pork. If you get this stuck in your head, it’s not my fault. (Flash and sound required.)
- Ralph Lauren proves they’re too stupid to a) cease perpetuating stereotypes around acceptable body stereotypes, b) feed their models c) learn Photoshop, and d) understand the ideas behind Fair Use. Backing BoingBoing all the way on this one.

OK, that’s enough for tonight. Head still hurts. I should sleep.
Another round-up of stuff on the Interwebs
Things that are useful for work:
- What goes into a well-done critique? is a good article on improving critiquing skills by Jared Spool
- Where the buck stops is an article about collaboration among designers — where it can succeed, but mostly how forcing it causes failure. There’s a whole slew of management-types I know who should read this.
Things that are interesting to read:
Things that are just funny:
- Bob was in trouble… Yeah, Bob is a dead man.
- SuperPoop, a photo comic. A bit hit-or-miss but the archive isn’t very long and some of them will make you laugh out loud.
