The "Mojave Experiment" →
Microsoft is launching their “Get Vista back in the public eye” advertising campaign. While I still preach that Vista is great and the hardware manufacturers are to blame, all these videos show is that the general public is ignorant to what they’re using as long as it works. You could’ve shown them OSX, called it the newest version of Windows that will be out in a few...
spreeder.com - online speed reading application →
Wow, this is a pretty sweet little theory-in-the-flesh. The idea behind speedreading is training your brain not to sub-vocalise each word and keep moving. This application will flash words at your set speed, tricking your brain into doing just that.

This web page lets you see just how different that...

The Trouble with Mirrors

snowblind:
I cut my lines on a mirror. Better to see everything that’s there. Scrape up every little dust speck. Waste nothing.

That’s the trouble with mirrors.
one hundred push ups →
I have pretty strong arms from working, but I can’t do that many pushups. I’m considering giving it a shot in the interests of website-debunking.

Rabidplaybunny87: Well, me, david and andrew were having a bonfire in the backyard, and we were making s'mores and all... and suddenly we here sirens, and see a firetruck turn into the street in front of us.
Rabidplaybunny87: So we all went running to see what was up, and our neigbor's house was on fire!
GarbageStan23: oh shit!

Rabidplaybunny87: talk about bad timing...
