My Favourite April Fools Joke of 2012

No need to run through the usual sus­pects on the web who have ded­ic­ated some time to an April Fools prank. You can Google them (and remem­ber to check out Google’s offer­ings this year) eas­ily enough. The Linux Action Show has the best, if not the most ded­ic­ated April Fools joke com­mit­ted to video I …

Canonical’s Imdemnification

While check­ing out the Land­scape for Ubuntu page from Canon­ical, I chanced upon this inter­est­ing snip­pet in the bot­tom right corner of the page: Assur­ance Find peace of mind with legal cover for IP infringe­ment claims. Our Assur­ance pro­gramme cov­ers your busi­ness for any claims of IP infringe­ments arising from your use of Ubuntu. Should an …

Ubunchu!!!!!

Unfor­tu­nately, this amaz­ing Cre­at­ive Com­mons licensed manga by Hiroshi Seo seems to have slipped past my radar for three whole years when it so blatantly intrudes upon my two greatest hob­bies (aside from act­iv­ism for vegan­ism, human­ism, and sci­ence).

The Scale of the Universe

A lot of love exudes from this decept­ively simple flash applic­a­tion by Cary and Michael Huang show­ing the scale of objects and con­cepts when placed together: The Scale of the Uni­verse 2 Why 2? Because this is quite likely the improved ver­sion from The Scale of the Uni­verse, its pre­de­cessor. Check out some of the other …

Tell the World

Artists, the good ones mostly, aren’t inspired by the prom­ise of per­petual roy­al­ties to cre­ate more art. For why else would a thing like Hat­sune Miku be cre­ated, to be re-imagined in count­less ways, whether vul­gur, cute, ugly, or beau­ti­ful?

Steve Jobs, iSAD

Steve Jobs: 1955 — 2011 I admire Apple for their design, and hated them for build­ing walls around their products. Still, sad­ness fills me as the world marks the passing of a great human. An appro­pri­ate poem found on Slash­dot: Here’s to the crazy ones. The mis­fits. The rebels. The trouble­makers. The round pegs in the square …
