Stuff I found that was funny.

hardware problem
Overheard today:
J: “I have this hilarious but really debilitating hardware problem.â€
R: “I know these pills I got from Mexico that will fix you right up!â€
Minikiss
Blake just sent me this article about a dispute between two all-dwarf KISS tribute bans over who owns the concept.
Blake’s subject title was “I love the world.â€

Being a playa hatah
The first time I heard of ”player hater” was about four years ago when Sean showed me the Star Wars Gangsta Rap viral video. If you somehow missed that, you need to watch it. If you’ve already seen it 100 times, one more won’t hurt. 🙂
Gizmodo reports the hate for a different sort of player, the iPod and iTunes Music Store. This hate appears in the form of the never-ending Apple v. Apple lawsuit.

n-blades
Gizmodo had a funny article which pointed to something I had missed. That an Onion parody article on a 5-bladed Gillette in response to Schick came true late last year.

Ghetto tips
Mike, a friend and former co-worker pointed me to Go Ghetto. I looked at it and promptly forgot about it.
I should have read Mike’s blog closer because at Lunch 2.0 today, I found out that my friends Holly and (a different) Mike are the instigators of GoGhetto. (What a weird small world we live in.) They even gave me a bumper sticker which I had in my hand for all of 10 seconds. (They were too ghetto to let me keep it, because Mark already had one.)

Only one will survive…I wonder who it will be?
Blake sent me this URL to the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. Man, I wish this was on iTunes Music Store—I’d actually get an Video iPod for this.
Watch it to see who will survive.
Web 1.0
Saw that Cal has a badge tag from the Web 1.0 Summit today, which bills itself as a whole heck of a lot more fun than Web 2.0.
I would have loved to give a talk on the value proposition of B2B applications of push technologies.
Too bad they didn’t have the facilities for projection. I could have made some kick ass slides using the single pixel gif trick.
I’m sorry I missed it.
Does the Pokémon effect apply to Tiger developers?
In his quid pro quo effort to convert me to the Dark side of the Force, Mark sent me this reference to a Gizmodo article.
Go to the site, and read some. The special powers are a nice touch. I wonder which cards are rare? I want the Jobs and Avi Tevanian card. Do you think the Phil Shiller card has an animated GIF of his hands gesticulating while he talks about how “cool” Tiger is? Where is the video of Jonathan Ives talking about the design of these cards?
