“Firefox 3’s update to allow you to save passwords after they’ve worked is fricking genius!

I get upset that people don’t see the world as I do.

It’s a fucked up place with people walking around like zombies, listing to shitty music and having asinine conversations.

Sit down. Look around you and realize you are alive. You are conscience of your surroundings. Isn’t that fucked up? It blows my mind how with all this ability, people still listen to Linkin Park or enjoy Larry the Cable Guy. What the fuck is up, son?!

A blog of a friend?/acquaintance?. (via seagull)

Shouldn’t the fact that people are conscious of their surroundings and that different people like different things be the thing that blows your mind?  When people make blanket statements like that, where people that like <insert band name here> are ‘wrong’, it irritates the shit out of me.  Why are you right for not liking <insert band name here>?

You don’t like the band? No worries - say so, but at least say why.  You don’t like people because they listen to that band?  Seriously?

That should blow your mind as well.

Printers

You know what I don’t understand? Almost every (office) printer now takes a full ream of paper. Why do people only put part of a ream in the printer and leave the rest for later?

I’m pretty sure it’s so that they don’t have to deal with getting rid of the packet.

EasyFundRaising.org.uk

This site and others like it are apparently already well-known, but they’re news to me.  You sign up with the site, choose a charity or a cause to support, log in and then shop online like usual.  Any retailers that have signed up will make a donation (either a flat fee or a percentage) to the charity/cause that you’ve chosen every time you buy stuff from them.

My cousin mentioned it because the school her kids go to has just signed up to it.  So now I can be charitable while also remaining the consumer whore that I undoubtedly am.  Everybody wins.

The World’s First Album Cover 
(Via bullshit))

This is surprisingly cool, considering.  I could see it being a cover for a contemporary album.

Getting old?

Are you ever surprised when you realise how old a film or an album you like actually is?  It still seems recent and modern and relevant, but when you see it mentioned somewhere and see the year it was released in brackets after it, you think, “Wow!”.

  • Fight Club is nine years old
  • Swingers is 12 years old
  • Radiohead’s The Bends is 13 years old
  • Weezer’s Blue Album is 14 years old
  • Reservoir Dogs is 16 years old
  • Massive Attack’s Blue Lines is 17 years old
  • Raiders of the Lost Ark is 27 years old

These are just the first examples I thought of, but there are a load more.  I don’t know if this is just me having a poor sense of time, or if there is something about certain films and albums that means they transcend time for the people who like them.

Strangely, I never get this with novels.
