All My Friends Are Dead
jasmine-: http://www.nomorefriends.net/ I blogged about this ages ago, but it’s tough to find anything on Tumblr. The post doesn’t show up on Duck Duck Go or on Google. However, I can report that you can get All My Friends Are Dead at Unity Books on Willis Street now, and all the pages are as funny.

The other Ford Granada →
Not the European car, but the American one of the same name: the Ford Granada was marketed as a US alternative to a Mercedes-Benz. Not as overstyled as, say, the Ford Maverick, this was an extremely heavy car, and Ford’s marketing (as you see in the link) emphasized how it was as good as the Mercedes-Benz, at a similar size. There’s not much by way of the Ford identity in this car’s design: it...

You don't need to see his identification →
noblasters: On November 21, 2010, I was allowed to enter the U.S. through an airport security checkpoint without being x-rayed or touched by a TSA officer. This post explains how. Edit: Minor edits for clarity. I have uploaded the audio and it is available here. This past Sunday, I was returning… This is brilliant. I take my hat off to the author for standing up for his own rights.

Human brain has more switches than all computers... →
matarua: The human brain is truly awesome. A typical, healthy one houses some 200 billion nerve cells, which are connected to one another via hundreds of trillions of synapses. Each synapse functions like a microprocessor, and tens of thousands of them can connect a single neuron to other nerve cells. In the cerebral cortex alone, there are roughly 125 trillion synapses, which is about how...

Testing Chrome
After Firefox (which crashes four times a day on average) stopped loading images on selected sites last night—and no, there was nothing in the settings that told it to do that—I decided to give Chrome a proper go. It’s not bad. They have improved the speed since my last intensive test of it, so it is noticeably faster. But there are four issues that have crept up in the first 12 hours. First, the...

May the fonts be with you →
An Italian ad agency created a series of Star Wars designs using just typographical glyphs. (Sent to me by Simon Green, a.k.a. Lumbarius on Twitter.)
