This is really nifty. Good use of chemistry, DHTML and information design. This guy posted all the information about himself in a personal ad. He presented the whole thing as a periodic table. One cool hack. I will make one for myself too. See here for this guy's personal ad
addendum: 2 years later the link still works and I still have not made something like that for myself

Ownt has an interview with the Running with scissors' Vince Desi. The interview was posted on October 7th 2003, but I did not blog about it then. Vince is an all around cool guy, not because he uses a lot of fu** and shit (which Ownt has not censored graciously), but because he has his head in the right place and knows a thing about computer games. In case you do not know, Running with scissors made a wonderful game called Postal, which has helped to bring cheer into a lot of stressed out people(many of whom are programmers).

You can read the rest of the interview at Ownt. (link to archive.org's archive). Be warned beforehand if you have sensitive feelings.

I was watching the recorded episodes of Simpsons today. In one of the scenes, the children of Springfield decide that they are going to spill out all the secrets of the adults. So they start to plan how they can do it.

Since everyone has been busy drinking the Google kool-aid and simply going in an orgasm over the Google Gulp, I will take the road less travelled and point out the Yahoo Slacker here.
You will not understand the below paragraph until you are well versed in geek culture . I am keeping it here, since it is another Frequently quoted quotation
After seven and a half million years of pondering the question, Deep Thought provides the answer: "forty-two". "Forty-two!" yelled Loonquawl. "Is that all you've got to show for seven and a half million years' work?" "I checked it very thoroughly," said the computer, "and that quite definitely is the answer. I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you've never actually known what the question is."
