Title My Video Post?
Tumblr request: (optional) title for my video posts. Thanks!
Er... that's fine... but what do we want?
Lee: "Music to Pee Your Pants By."
Marco: Ok, we're getting closer to what we want.

This is smart. Or at least good that FaceBook recognizes that they can’t expect a walled-garden to rule forever (see AOL). I’ll eagerly be watching where this goes.

After Apple gets around to updating the Air, then I’ll have to seriously consider making that purchase.
Things are looking up.
David: We should get some Viagra for the office.
Carrie: David, you always know just how to find that line and cross it.
Is Twitter Down? →
Twitter me up. Gently.
I don’t get Twitter, and this probably has something to do with the fact that I’ve never used it until now. If you’re a twitterhead, please drop me a comment/reblog with your id so I can learn something cool (I’m webmarc).
Thanks in advance, everyone!

Those who aren’t familiar with the McCain incident will probably assume (incorrectly) that quote is from a man instead of from a woman (check it out on youtube, or see it below). It’s also not clear at all...

While the article is a good read, it’s the headline that really grabbed my attention. For some reason, EVERY time I look at it I first read “Fingers” instead of “Engineers” and it makes me double-take then giggle.
I blame it on the serif font they use.
WatchBarely Political’s take on Bill O’Reilly’s temper tantrum… finally, the other side!
Carrie: are you a Star Trek fan?
Marc: Yep.
Carrie: Oh no.
Marc: I'm like an onion, and you just peeled back another layer.
Carrie: And every one of them makes me cry.
WatchJared may be my most favorite character of all time.
Smoker's Point of View
nikography:
This isn’t in response to, but was influenced by seeing the currently circulating smoking lounge ceiling mural. Okay, it’s clever. Lots of these new anti smoking campaigns are, but I think this is actually borderline offensive. You wouldn’t see any such thing in a bar, would you?
As a smoker, I am constantly accosted by peers, professors and colleagues about my habit. I take it...
Paul has a very cool idea.
