Image via Wikipedia As developers we often berate our users for being stupid, even go so far as making up sayings to make it easier; what’s more, we even employ some very smart people and proverbs about stupidity to aid us in our cause to make fun of the stupid (l)users: Human stupidity is nonconvergent [...]
A few months ago I wrote about the failings of MAFIAA’s business model and pleaded with the aether for them to find something better. Well, now it would seem that a small independent games studio 2D Boy has discovered a solution I am willing to support. So I bought World of Goo. But let me [...]
God and science are in love and have been since the dawn of time. Ensue the flames! But no, seriously, give me a listen before you bash my head in, that means you religion monger! Yes, you too dear crazy scientist. For very long I have listened to you people bicker back and forth on [...]
For the past few days I’ve been partaking in a rather vibrant forum thread celebrating the male to female differences.

Naturally a great outrage soon followed spannign multiple bulletin boards, news-like articles and at least two outraged facebook groups on top of a boycott “event”, also on facebook. How nice and lovely, students fighting unfair price increases that are [...]
Creativity is rather awesome, I’m certain we can all agree to that. Creativity drives the world forward, it opens our eyes to new scientific discoveries that sometimes help improve our lives, but mostly just make it more difficult for the average joe to understand. Hell, creativity even opens our eyes to new artistic discoveries, even [...]
Today, as many of you probably know, is Human Rights Day. Personally I didn’t know until I happened upon one @anca_foster and her One Day For Human Rights campaign on twitter. At least I think it’s a campaign, maybe it’s more of a marketing scheme for an already universally accepted day – I’m too cynical [...]
Sparkica wrote in a recent blogpost about a sexy man in minimalistic loose underwear.
