Got some hot nerd action from reddit:

* Getting rid of X
I’ve been trying to use more keyboard and less mouse, and this is a pretty interesting look at an extreme solution. I’m planning on trying out i3 instead of metacity as my WM in Ubuntu, but I haven’t found the time to play around with it. Work has been busy so maybe not for a while.

* DNA as seen by a computer programmer
Basically if you are a computer programmer interested in how humans work, this is a really interesting/exciting look at the building blocks that make up life.

* Nerve cells from skin cells
One of my friends works on figuring out how stem cells turn into a specific type of nerve cell. The idea that spinal cord injuries may someday be a thing of the past is pretty exciting.

* Drones could be grounded
Defective software means drones miss a lot, maybe into innocent people. WTG USA!

* People forget that Obama cut taxes
It’s funny to me that there is this myth of Obama as a socialist president. He’s pretty moderate to conservative all things considered. I guess the rest of America is basically borderline fascist and so a moderate looks radical in comparison.

NERD RAGE!

PS If you love me, you will buy me this shirt.

On the heels of our own anonymous_banker’s expose of the Bros Icing Bros phenomenon, and the media firestorm that resulted.

One artist, however, has taken the bros icing bros to a heights of self-parody hither to unseen in this fad. Katie, of Sorry I Missed Your Party and Marina Abramovi? Made Me Cry, and incidentally my current e-crush, has recontextualized the latent homoeroticism of fraternal icing in a more explicit homosexual setting. I know I’ve found my sexuality challenged by this important work, even as my hetrosexuality is at the same time reinforced by the strong, beautiful artist herself.

Rest in peace brother, time for the ultimate dance party.

Does this mean we’re going to get our money back sooner? I hope so. I just have the sinking feeling that we’re going to be paying this shit back forever.

Karl Rove is never going to testify. Why? Because Democrats are a bunch of fucking pussies. If he wasn’t a criminal then why is he so god damned afraid to testify? Why is he afraid to testify under oath that is. He said he’ll come up and spew bullshit as long as it doesn’t have to be true. What a joke. Obama is on his side now. Change man, yeah right. The only change these assholes will ever understand is the change that comes from the barrel of a gun. Keep on smiling. True evil is among us and it has nothing to do with gay marriage.

Liberty and fraternity
Alive and well in the 21st century
Who knows what life can bring

She is beautiful
She is amazing
God I’m in love but
What is this purple reality

Blue like the cold water that
Drenches my dreams in sweat
Cold starts that lead to
Wet dreams

And red coursing through
Heart and soul this fullness
Blood red lips sink me
Holy ship sunk with divine
Intervention and I’m hot for
Her fucked body

Hops and hoppy I’m dancing for
The yellow girl of my dreams
Beacon baby, call me slut with
Good intentions

Who would have thought that an innocent cab ride could have turned into a dirty discussion on robopussy, as well as Jeff getting owned by the cab driver?
