Iron Man will be played by Robert Downey, Jr. Everyone’s favorite substance abusing millionaire playboy will played by everyone’s favorite substance abusing millionaire playboy.

It’s a half-suit for lazy videoconferencers. $150 seems a bit steep for what’s essentially a glorified dickey.

This is the love-child of Turbo from Breakin’ and Alfonso from Silver Spoons. He looks animatronic… It’s a Small World 2: Electric Boogaloo

I wonder what these guys think of it.

BTW – Nothing says “I’m a superior breakdancer” than a Pink Floyd painter’s hat with flaps.

The WSJ posts a debate between Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales, and Encylopedia Britannica editor-in-chief, Dale Hoiberg. Barbs are thrown, caught.

Hoiberg: We want our articles to be correct before they are published. We stand behind our process, based on trained editors and fact-checkers, more than 4,000 experts, and sound writing. Our model works well. Wikipedia is very different, but nothing in their model suggests we should change what we do.

Wales: Fitting words for an epitaph…

In case WSJ takes the article down from their site, I saved a copy as a PDF.

Ten Things the Guy at Starbucks Is Thinking While Looking at the Brunette Barista Behind the Counter.

• Look, I’m reading the business section. I have lots of money. Want sex?
• I am eating this scone with earnest sincerity. I am sincere. Want sex?
• I will swivel slightly in my chair to display my well-pressed slacks. Sex?
• I am drinking coffee and staring thoughtfully out the window. I can be deep. And long.
• I make a remark about the rain using the word “inclement.” I am intelligent. Do me.
• Someone else has said a winning joke about baseball. I laugh along with you. We share common interests.
• I say, “Do you have sugar, Sugar?” and smile. I have gleaming white teeth. So will our kids.
• I put my head in my hands. I am tormented and mysterious. Join me for sex?
• Someone says something about the latte you made. I give you a face. I empathize. You. Me. Sex?
• I am getting up to leave now saying, “I’ll be back tomorrow.” You crinkle your face. Ah! I’m making an impression!

Why does “being nice” have to be ironic?

Here’s a “Grand Theft Auto” Coke ad that is funny because it’s so positive.

It’s news to me that Weird Al still makes music. He has a parody of Ridin’ Dirty, called White and Nerdy (listen). It’s actually pretty funny.
