Ever get porn-esque photos on your dashboard while at work? Trying to not get fired but still want to tumble?
Alt + F4 or Windows + M
it’s your friend when your boss walks in on you staring at some random set of boobs on your tumblr dashboard.
Windows + D also works — it’ll minimize everything and just show your desktop.

Question
kapi:
What is the correct way of writing song names?
Song Name - Artist
or
Artist - Song Name
I personally use the former as it follows the norm of “Name of the song” by “Artist”.
It’s definitely the latter, IMO. But I guess this is like the American/British date dichotomy (i.e., 10/6/86 in America is October 6, 1986, but it’s June 10, 1986, in the UK). Personal preference.

Fossil of 10 million-year-old bird found in Peru →
Whoa! Hot on the heels of the discovery in Kenya of 1.5 million-year-old human footprints, there’s this story of a bird with a 19.7-foot wingspan that apparently existed from 50 million years ago to 2.5 million years ago. Crazy!

The game has some faults, but it’s still pretty damn awesome. Check out the full review over at Destructoid!
[Yeah, I’ll probably be whoring out some of my stuff here, just because.]

On alternate names for vaginas.
Chris: The Fertile Crescent.
Amanda: Ha wait isnt that the name of the place in Africa where all humans came from?
Chris: Not Africa, but yeah. Middle East.
Amanda: Well then its not all humans, just anglosaxons heh.
Chris: I like that one because it's like an anthropological double entendre.

Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar
indieandyy:
One says, ‘I think I’ve lost an electron.’ The other says ‘Are you sure?’ The first says, ‘Yes, I’m positive.’
(via monsterxero)
— Amanda told this at the meet up last weekend haha. Science nerds!
A neutron walks into a bar and orders a drink. “How much?” he asks.
The bartender replies, “For you, no charge.”

In Bloom: Flower is the only video game I've... →
“Last week, when the hard-core gamers of the world were supposed to be firing up [T]he Lost and Damned, a new, downloadable episode of Grand Theft Auto IV, I instead decided to spend more than $400 for the privilege of playing a $10 game. I bought a PlayStation 3—a system I had consciously avoided to date in favor of the Xbox 360 and the Wii—so that I could download Flower, a little marvel of a...

Official: Pentagon allows coverage of war coffins →
“The Pentagon lifted its ban Thursday on media coverage of coffins of war victims as they arrive at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, according to a senior U.S. defense official with direct knowledge of the decision.”
It’s been a long time coming.

nerdology:
Guinness World Records just completed a list of the 50 most influential console games of all time. Topping the list, as the headline might have told you, is Super Mario Kart. That’s a little surprising to me. It’s a great game, which spawned some even greater games, but most influential of all time? I would have put Super Mario Bros (listed at 17), or Super Mario Bros 3...

MUSIC & MEMORY
indieandyy:
I love the way music, whether a song or an album or an artist/band… connects to my memory so immediately. The way my memory immediately conjures up an event or a person the moment a song comes on is one of my favorite things.
My life is music… I work in music for film now, I was a program director and DJ for college radio years ago, before that I was in band class, pep band, and...

I Love You, Man
This is the trailer for I Love You, Man, an upcoming comedy starring Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, Rashida Jones, and Andy Samberg. It’ll be in theaters in less than a month — on March 20th — and it looks pretty funny! A red band trailer (i.e., a NSFW trailer) and a clip are available on the movie’s website if you enter your name, zip code, and birthday.
[It’s a Flash widget, so doing it as a...

Just finished watching this. Seriously, someone needs to cut a version of this where they edit out all the applause. It’d save at least 10 minutes.

London Review of Books - John Lanchester: Is it... →
It seems clear to me that by the time my children are adults, video gaming will be a medium whose importance and cultural ubiquity are at least as great as that of film or television. Whether it will be an artistic medium of equivalent importance is less clear. One of the problems is that the new consoles are difficult and expensive to create games for: no one can create a game for the PS3 or Xbox...

“Music games are proven earners—Aerosmith has reportedly earned more from Guitar...”
– Why the Music Industry Hates Guitar Hero (via kaytee)
Last night, I was discussing this very issue with a friend who works in PR at MTV. The music industry needs to understand that video games can be a very, very good thing for it.
