T.H.E.Y.

After years of occasional thinking "dude, you have to look this up" I finally remembered to do so when I watched the corresponding Pinky and The Brain episode. T.H.E.Y. are "The Horde of Ecumenical Yodelers" and Brain explains this obscure acronym like: "They don't actually yodel... their name is but an innocent sounding smoke screen to divert attention from the group's true purpose - to rule the earth." I came to wonder whether Peter Gabriel's "Us" could mean something similar...

Human Tetris

A Swiss multimedia artist has created several nifty videos emulating classic computer games using human subjects, including the viral Human Tetris, which has been nominated for a Youtube Creative Video Award. It's so well-executed, you feel like you're actually playing the game yourself as the video runs :)

Turnover

Yes, I think I finally have hit the turnover point in my personal history of spam. It looks like in the last week I received less spam mails than delivery failure notifications for spam mails where some bastard forged my e-mail address to send spam to the rest of the world. Now, is that good or bad?

It's us geeks...

...who design chips. If you don't believe this, look for yourself:
