Lucas and I quote stand-up comedy the same way some people quote movie lines! (Okay, I admit I quote movie lines, too…) In case you haven’t seen them, here are links to a few things that we watched when Erin & Mike were here: Stephen Lynch Nothing like getting a comedy singer stuck in your [...]
A few days ago, I came across a particularly entertaining blog to share: Cake Wrecks When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong. The blog is a gallery of professionally decorated cakes (and cake sculptures) that all have something fundamentally and amusingly wrong with them. In some cases, it’s the fault of the client, who requested [...]
Floating around in my head, and slowly fading from memory, there are still a few classic tales from Beijing that I should really share. One of the unintentionally funny things about our office in China is that the local Chinese employees were still a bit unsteady in their grasp of daily English usage. Their eagerness [...]
And my Milkshake graph of the other day segues nicely into this link, which has also been collecting dust for a while: Pie Chart Humor Of all of those, I have to repost this one here, because it’s such a classic.

Last night Lucas and I ordered a new laptop for me, and one of the semi-cool features is that it can be engraved. This was too good an opportunity to pass up. I nixed Lucas’s original suggestion of Meg Natraj www.MegDesk.com hoping instead to find a clever and appropriate quotation to carve onto the machine. [...]
Since I’m sure you always wanted to know, the average airspeed velocity of an unladen European swallow is: Roughly 11 meters per second, or 24 miles an hour While I was waiting on a particularly slow build this afternoon, I happened upon an exhaustive calculation of the above figure, thereby answering the age-old question. Unfortunately, [...]

This evening Lucas showed me a fantastic new movie trailer: Haha! I love it! A few years ago I downloaded a bunch of Java games for my phone, and the only one I still play with any regularity is a ripoff of Minesweeper. I must admit, I’ve gotten pretty good at it. On my particular [...]
