Pictures, part 2!

Here's some more funny and interesting pictures I've come across online lately. As usual, click to see them in full size

I'll admit, I've been guilty of this myself sometimes

A quick pun for today

If you're blue and you don't know where to go, why don't you go where fashion sits...

Picture messaging!

This is a picture of a bench outside Ewell Hall, showing the accumulation we got (not much compared to Nova!).

EDIT: Apparently to get MMS pictures to show up, I can't use the same number I use for SMS, instead I have to use the email address I use for email posting. Plus this horrible ad shows up beneath every post, I guess I'll just have to get used to that over the summer.

Pictures!

I've decided that today will be picture day for this blog. Some of these pictures are just random, but a lot of them come from a fantastic photojournalism blog called The Big Picture, run by the Boston Globe. It's a perfect example of how to take advantage of the unique opportunities for news offered by the internet, i.e. incredibly detailed, high-resolution photos on an extremely simple website. No obtrusive ads, no complicated interface to navigate, just a page with pictures. Now, with that said, have some pictures!

Beardvember update!

I can't believe I'm only about halfway done with the month, because my beard is so insanely long right now, far more than I've ever had it before. I'm toying with the idea of trying some sort of actual facial hair style at the end of the month, since I'll have all this hair to work with. Interestingly, my dad told me that I have the same hairless patches that he does - I guess it's genetic!

xkcd

I'm sure most all of my TJ friends know about xkcd, but I figured I'd share for the uninitiated. xkcd is a webcomic, which is like any old comic in a newspaper except that it's published independently online by the cartoonist. Here's today's strip:

This pretty much sums up what many people love about xkcd: nerd humor! His website warns that "this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors)". If you're ever at a loss for what a comic means, here's another wonderful website with (often very sarcastic) explanations: http://xkcdexplained.com/. Thankfully, not all xkcd comics require a physics PhD to appreciate. See some more good selections after the jump:

Beardvember

As you may or may not know, I am doing Beardvember this year, also known as No Shave November. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. Only 7 days in, and it's already getting kinda itchy. It's going to be pretty ridiculous by the end of the month o.o
