Common Sense

Dec. 2nd, 2009 | 10:29 am

From Matthew Yglesias and the problem with common sense:
It’s common sense that heavy objects fall faster than light ones, and there’s absolutely nothing commonsensical about the correct answer to the Monty Hall Problem. It’s common sense that something called a “strong” dollar must be good, but in fact whether or not it’s good depends on the situation. It’s common sense that when families across the nation tighten their belts, the government should too, but it’s wrong. In fact, the reverse is true and the government ought to get more parsimonious when the private sector is flush, and vice versa. It’s common sense that if you can’t smell or taste or see atmospheric carbon dioxide it must not be a big problem, but it is!

Lady Gaga + typeface = awesome

Dec. 2nd, 2009 | 07:13 am

I don't really know much about Lady Gaga. I also don't really care that much about fonts. And this is still awesome.

8-bit Left 4 Dead in the works. Won't be shut down.

Nov. 17th, 2009 | 07:26 am

Hat tip to joystiq

A group of independent developers are making an 8-bit version of Left 4 Dead that is brilliant.  The best part is that Valve apparently knows about the game and think its hilarious (which to me says that they are sane and recognize it as no financial threat to the primary franchise).  Whats so perfect about this version is that you can recognize that this is Left 4 Dead in every meaningful way, but it doesn't try to shoehorn everything that Left 4 Dead is into an 8-bit game.  There's no jumping, the boomer doesn't attract a horde, hell, there isn't even a horde!  Just a bunch of aimlessly wandering zombies.  This is what 8-bit games were like!  Their goal is to recreate all four episodes which I think is a hell of an undertaking but a noble one.  If nothing else, it'll show the kids today what it was like to play a on a real console.

A Leopard Casually Hanging Out Of Car Window [LOLCars]

You know how leopards are, always hanging out the window of your Audi TT when you're out for a drive. You'd think people would be used to the sight by now.

“Funny how people only cite karma when bad things happen to people they don’t like.”

Stephanie.

Reminds me of Anne Lamott:

“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.”

Carl Sagan Auto-Tune (feat. Stephen Hawking)

Oct. 9th, 2009 | 08:17 am

I still can't get over how much he sounds like Agent Smith from The Matrix

via kottke.org by Jason Kottke on 10/8/09

Maybe you're tired of un-pop-music-like things being run through Auto-Tune, but I'm not quite there yet. This Auto-Tuned Carl Sagan mix is very nearly sublime.

Radio-Controlled Cyborg Beetles Become Reality

Oct. 2nd, 2009 | 10:49 am

Who wants to go halfsies with me on a doom fortress?
 
 

via Slashdot by timothy on 10/1/09

holy_calamity writes "DARPA's plans to create brain chips for insects so they can be steered like an RC plane are bearing fruit. Videos show that a team at Berkeley can use radio signals to tell palm-sized African beetles to take off and land, and to lose altitude and steer left or right when in flight. They had to use the less-than-inconspicuous giant beetles because other species are too weak to take off with the weight of the necessary antenna and brain and muscle electrodes."

Robotic pancake sorter

Sep. 29th, 2009 | 11:32 am

That buffer shelf is freaking genius!

via kottke.org by Jason Kottke on 9/28/09

This robot can sort pancakes at a rate of over 400 ppm (pancakes per minute).

The action gets going at about 1:15...don't miss the explanation of the pancake buffer shelf about 2/3s of the way through. (via eat me daily)
