re: this awesome time traveler essentials print by ryan north:
eric: hehe
eric: yeah
eric: i saw that the other day
eric: tempting
eric: especially as a print
kara: i like the ‘woo’ on the wing cross-section
kara: ha in this [print] he gives the chemical formula for synthetic birth control
kara: this is totally the kind of thing that would be great to have on the back of the bathroom door so you can contemplate it while sitting there doing your business
eric: mike has that one from questionable content that just says “mmm… that’s good poopin”
kara: i think that would freak me out
kara: i mean, i don’t need my BMs evaluated like it’s the olympics or something
eric: 6.8
everyone who has an iphone! my friends over at retronyms have released their third iphone app. seek ‘n spellis a game that uses gps to plot your (and your friends’) location, then scatters virtual letters around you. pick a time frame, run around and collect as many letters as you can before your friends’ get there first, then spell words with your letters to score points. highest score wins!
i had the privilege of demoing seek ‘n spell during one of my trips to san francisco and it is a lot of fun. bonus: you’re outside running around with your friends, so you’re getting exercise AND hanging out. double bonus: everyone who is not playing the game and is in the area is totally confused and in most cases, really interested in what you’re doing. a great way to meet people maybe?
go buy seek ‘n spell! only $3 and totally worth it.

almost as awesome as the bsg – ds9 mashup, but maybe actually more awesome because it involves macgyver? dunno. but it’s pretty great.
related: anyone can feel free to buy me this.
go buy this now. it is amazing. why don’t i own venture bros. on dvd?? i don’t know! gah! i love this show!
update: i listened to this in the car and, no joke, i felt like frakking secret agent. great driving music to get you pumped for your day!
according to buzzfeed, settlers of catan is really popular. um. duh? pretty much everyone i know plays it all the time. it’s even becoming sort of passé, it seems. how odd to find the internet lagging behind the news.
and yes, i purposely wrote the title of this post to be anachronistic 😉
topher: our problems are huuuge. and indomitable.
adelle: oo. i could eat that word. or a crisp. do you have any crisps?
topher: …you haven’t seen my drawer of inappropriate starches?!*
although the best moment might be the reveal that topher isn’t wearing any pants. or when mr. dominic freaks out (petting his own arm: “soooooft. like a kitty!”).
* note to self: create drawer of inappropriate starches.
the new trailer was shown in front of ‘i love you, man’ and OMG!!!!!!
via eric sent me the mcsweeney’s keeping up with the cardassians episode guide and it’s pretty fabulous.
while i’m thinking of it – ds9/bsg credits mashup. the first time i watched this a few years ago, i actually cried. that is how much i love both of these shows. …and also how pathetically nerdy i am.
