Neverendum

chrisdye — 2010-12-29T14:58:57-05:00

I just thought I'd brag that my entry, "Neverendum", was selected as Urban Dictionary's Word of the Day on October 24. This is the most public attention for one of my submitted works since Chickadee Magazine published the picture of a park bench that I submitted in 1983.

The person who actually coined the term was Dave Rosen, who published the Quebec Neverendum Colouring and Activity Book in 1996.

1) Adventure Time is the greatest video mankind has ever made.

2) Pendleton Ward, who made Adventure Time, has the finest Under Construction website mankind has ever made.

3) It was there that I learned that "Adventure Time" was greenlit by the Cartoon Network. GigaYes.

I stumbled on this today and thought it was hilarious:

The sad thing is I was bad with every game I played on the NES.

In northern Michigan a few weeks ago, we visited Fort Mackinac, the first American fort to surrender to the British in the War of 1812. We were treated to the following animatronic display, repeated every 45 seconds or so:

Who Is The Girliest Sillytecher Of Them All?

The Gender Genie

Based on the work of some Israeli linguists, this algorithm looks at a chunk of text and guesses whether or not the author was male or female. In the original study it guessed correctly something like 90% of the time, though the web-based tool has a lower success rate.

A quick rundown of the blogs I tested:

Me - Consistently guessed male
Adrienne - Mostly guessed female, one false male guess
Budman - Consistently guessed female
Sean - Mostly guessed male, one false female guess

I'm not sure what this proves, apart from the fact that Budman apparently has a very feminine writing style.

Not fans of the Hitler rap, eh? Okay, try these unintentionally funny comic panels instead.

If you get a Wii, let me know and we can swap friend codes. Also, we can play tag at recess.

The new Nintendo (the Wii) will allow people to surf the Internet on the TV. I thought this was kind of a useless feature. But this interview between the CEO of Nintendo and his R&D team presented an interesting philosophy behind the decision...

Bearing all this in mind, the potential I see in the Internet Channel lies in the fact that the internet, which has until now been viewed alone, can now be viewed by everyone. With a computer, even if you have people peering over your shoulder to see the screen, the limit is pretty much two, with four or more people looking at the same screen being totally out of the question. With the Wii, which is connected to the living room TV, families will be able to enjoy the internet together. I don't know what lies ahead, but I think this has the potential to change the way we live.
