This looks amazing. Although it’s still in beta, Firefox has plans to roll out an entirely different browser that finally revolutionizes the faulty linear browser experience we’ve been stuck in for years. with Tab Candy, you can group tabs according to theme and create a multifaceted workspace consisting of task-specific tabs. For people like me who have tons of tabs open at any given time, this is a super intuitive way to organize your tabs in a spatially intelligible way. the new Tab Candy model still feels like a stack of papers, but now instead all the tabs being “stapled” together in one window, you can sort the tabs into different stacks and, once they’ve finished the development, even share those stacks with other users.
with a mere million canadian dollars you can own property in vancouver, BC—but will it be a crack shack or a mansion?
you’ll never know until the welcoming committee arrives at your door.
thanks, whitney 2!!
single-serving site dedicated to the old-lady pearls of wisdom from dorothy zbornak, the golden girl with an edge.
these facts are so interesting. out of the 30 i will probably only remember four, but for a few minutes after i read the list, the world was so damn interesting.
1. The phrase “rule of thumb” is derived from an old English law which stated that you couldn’t beat your wife with anything wider than your thumb.
2. The dot over the letter “i” is called a tittle.
3. A raisin dropped in a glass of fresh champagne will bounce up and down continuously from the bottom of the glass to the top.
4. Chewing gum while peeling onions will keep you from crying.
5. A 2 X 4 is really 1-1/2″ by 3-1/2″.
6. During the chariot scene in “Ben Hur,” a small red car can be seen in the distance (and Heston’s wearing a watch).
7. On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily. This explains my current situation.
8. The number of possible ways of playing the first four moves per side in a game of chess is 318,979,564,000.
9. There are no words in the dictionary that rhyme with orange, purple and silver.
10. Astronauts are not allowed to eat beans before they go into space because passing wind in a spacesuit damages them.
read the rest here. impress your friends/colleagues/second dates immensely.
now if this isn’t a project of the unemployed, i don’t know what is:
from the codeorgan website:
“the codeorgan analyzes the ‘body’ content of any webpage and translates that content into music. the codeorgan uses a complex algorithm to define the key, synth style and drum pattern most appropriate to the page content.”
based on how many characters a website contains, how many of them can be found in the A-G musical scale, and the ratio of the two, Codeorgan will determine the scale (major or minor), the synthesizer (out of 10), and the drum loop (out of 16), and then play it all back to you in a 10-second clip. who knew your beanie baby website was so musical?!
take a look at the fleshmap infographic showing the honorable, and sometimes dishonorable, mentions of body parts according to music genre.
ok, no surprise that booties are the most mentioned in hip-hop, and hands in gospel, but i’m a little surprised to see absolutely no mention of some “sexy ass eyelids” across the genres.
i’ve never made a new year’s resolution before. i figure, if the change isn’t important enough to enact right away, regardless of the date, then it’s probably not change worth enacting or adhering to.
then i came across this stupid but engaging site and i found a bunch of resolutions that even i could stick to because they’re things that even retarded people do like: eat a mango, frost a cupcake, start a sticker collection, give a hug everyday, let go (of their bowels), etc. You really can’t fuck this one up.
basically you just keep clicking on it so that you can see all the inspirational phrases that people contributed from their macbook pro while sitting at their ikea desk next to the latest issue of ready-made, while wearing a hand-made scarf that you can buy at their booth at the local indie craft market. oh, and they’re drinking yerba maté tea and contracting their sphincter.
ok, but what really pisses me off is that i’ve been clicking for the past hour and i still don’t see my contributed resolution. please, if anyone sees “no more masturbating in public bathrooms” please take a screen shot and send it to me!
happy new year!
