Come In, Go Away Mat - Well now how about that. As you walk in, the mat looks like it says “Come In.” However, as you walk out, it reads “Go away.”
It’s called an ambigram.
These won’t be going anywhere for a while. Let’s hope they still work in the spring!
On campus today, I saw a kid with a sweatshirt that said “Holy Angels Football.” I thought it would be funny if they renamed the school “Holy Angles,” just for the comedic effect for the football team name. “Holy Angles Football” sounds funny … like they have the perfect angles … or something. Though, the name would work best for a pool league. “The Holy Angles Pool Players League Of Awesomeness”.
Myers-Briggs Personality Test - Not exhaustive or complete, but still good. Tailored to programmers, it is still useful for the general population.
Henri Cartier-Bresson (Aperture Masters of Photography Series) - I’d really like to purchase this book, if only because the stunningly great picture of a girl running in a courtyard can not be found in poster form anywhere.
Mighty Girl on “The Holiday” - I reproduce Mighty Girl’s key point here, not to dilute her words, but to inspire you to click on to her excellent blog (which, incidentally, has the best tagline I’ve ever read).
My issue isn’t that Jack Black isn’t a cutie pie, just that I can’t remember the last time I saw a movie where the girl wins a stunning guy on the basis of her awesomeness. In the few examples I can think of, the guy overcoming a woman’s lack of conventional hotness is a central plot point. In movies, awesomeness only seems to really count if you’re a boy, and that makes me want to punch something.
Is AppleCare worth it if you have a pet geek? - This Metafilter thread seems to point to the value of AppleCare, especially for laptops. From everything I’ve read in Consumer Reports, AppleCare is second to none for customer service. For that reason, if I could afford it (and when I purchase a Mac), I will spring for AppleCare, if only for the peace of mind for my laptop monitor.
