Dad: But at the end of the day gold is just metal. If the whole world is starving it isn't going to help us any. You know what will? Beans.
Me: And ideas.
Dad: No, beans. That's why I'm going to start collecting beans.
Dad: What's IKEA?
Me: It's a big Swedish furniture store, really cheap.
Dad: You know how I got my furniture? I went door-to-door and asked for it.
Favorite historical period piece in film: Star Wars.

OSX Tip
Here’s something that I’ve kept to myself for a while: To move a window in the background without bringing it to the front, ⌘-click its chrome and drag.
But wait, there’s more!
It’s not just the chrome that reacts this way. It’s any element of the background window. Select text, refresh a page, close the window, pause a movie (iTunes’ buttons are natively...

“The other day he asked me why people aren’t interested in getting in touch with old friends anymore, and I told him that the Internet just isn’t very popular right now. What else was I supposed to say?”
Apple Juice Kid - FreddieBoi (Miles Davis Remix)
Thank you to my friends who have let me use the word “prevert” in place of “pervert” these last few weeks. Thank you for letting me have that without comment. I had a lot of fun but at this time I feel like I need to retire it or at least archive it and move on.
Best, Peter
After waking up over and over again, cold from this tiny blanket, I finally positioned it diagonally. Then posted about it. Then stayed awake. Then made toast and put the blanket away.

Bon Iver - Re: Stacks (Tomas Barfod Remix)

The new board is kind of excessive.
We Are Champion: You've mentioned your inability to pick up on jokes at times, do you think this helps your writing in a way?
Gary Lutz: I tend to take things literally, and I tend to mishear things. I always watch DVDs with the closed-captioning feature on. I recently had a look at the lyrics of the Pretenders' "Back on the Chain Gang" and realized that for years I'd been mishearing about two-thirds of the lines. If I’m not mishearing, I’m misunderstanding. I once had a short-term job that involved packaging computer disks for mailing. The boss said, "Don't forget to stuff newspaper into each box," and he pointed to enormous stacks of old papers banked against a wall. Much later in the day, he checked in on me and noticed that the huge stock of newspapers had pretty much been depleted. Then he picked up some of the packages that I had sealed for mailing and said, "Why in the world are these so heavy?"
Great Uses For Twitter
1. Posting about who you’re having dinner with.
2. Ever have dinner with people that are also on Twitter? Make a post that says you’re having dinner with them.
3. Next time you’re having dinner with someone, make a post that at-replies the username of that person and say you’re having dinner with them.
4. You’re having dinner. Look around the table. Note who is on...
Theme Garden Submissions
We get a lot of submissions but sometimes for one reason or another we get a theme that we cannot accept. Here are some of those themes:
Couldn’t tell if this was photoshopped or not.
Duly noted.
This theme was called Red.
“Cause everytime they sing they touch my soul”
BustedTees has the trademark on this.
This one was called Horses!
A Bout Of Uneasiness
Woman: What floor?
Me: Two is fine, thanks. (Two is fine? Two is where you _live_, it's not what you're settling for).
Woman: The gym floor! (The floor on which the gym is).
Me: Yeah, almost. (What? It absolutely is the gym floor. There is not some ½ floor between two and three that the gym exists on. There should be no confusion here).
Me: Heh.
