Somehow, the caption for this picture is hilarious to me: “Brueggie, the Bruegger’s mascot, gets checked by the Transportation Security Administration while visiting the grand opening of the CVG Airport store.”
Basically, they’re running a metal detecting wand around the portly baker mascot for a bagel chain.
A lovely little Wikipedia stub teaches us, as in programming, as in life:
There is more than one way to do it (TIMTOWTDI, usually pronounced “Tim Toady”) is a Perl motto. The language was designed with this idea in mind, so that it “doesn’t try to tell the programmer how to program.”
I find it humorous that the Python language has the exact opposite motto; that is, there is only one correct, obvious way to do things. I’m with Perl.
New York Magazine has something called “The Approval Matrix” which is their “deliberately oversimplified guide to who falls where on out taste hierarchies.” I particularly enjoyed a snippet from this week’s Approval Matrix: “Obama has the most badass Secret Service code name ever: Renegade. What’s up now, axis of evil?”
Bear with me on this: (kottke.org) is, apparently, the most popular post on kottke. It’s not actually written by Jason Kottke. I didn’t understand it when I first read it, almost exactly 8 years ago. Today, I think it makes sense.
I’m not a bit American Idol watcher, but Mykala just pointed me towards this fantastic cover of Lennon’s “Imagine.” It’s this 17 year old David Archuleta, and he’s just spot-on perfect with every note. I think we have a winner!
