Hello, I've waited here for you.
If Instagram was a real camera… hipsters would eat this shit up.
Last August, I had to take a random profile thumbnail for my CMS and AIM account. This is apparently what I managed when I found the pic in Photo Booth after not opening that app since last year. How did my hair color come out like that?
Yeah baby, three top stories on the splash at Digital Trends at the same time. Won’t you make a visit to read some of my articles?
Haha, yes, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer commercial brought me to this video. It’s catchy, okay!? Also, the commercial cites Digital Trends as one of their review sources and that’s kind of cool.
Ha, that’s more like it! What one month of real work will do for your stupid Klout score.
The SNL Verizon commercial skit is pretty great, but this Portlandia clip sums up phone-buying best including all the crazy terms I throw around when I report. Being around gadgets and tech writers all the time, I don’t realize most people have no idea what the hell I’m talking about.
I work. A lot. But sometimes work lets me draw Elmo for a story and that makes everything okay.
Promptly one hour after I won an eBay bid on a new phone, I get this in the mail. Because apparently, if I don’t, my phone might not be able to make or receive calls. The world we live in! Well, now at least I won’t have to hide in sheer embarrassment when I tell people I’m a technology journalist who still uses a 2G BlackBerry.
Can posting pictures to Flickr reveal your hometown?
The idea is sort of obvious when you think about it. Provide an EXIF data of your photos that says where in the world you took them, and someone can guesstimate where you might be located. Now add a computer algorithm which can sort that for you. An interesting twist on the stalker central idea, written by yours truly.

Study: Women Apparently Pretend To Be Dumb Around Randos
“Participants [took] a series of individual IQ tests then grouped together based on their scores. So the smarties went with the smarties, and so on. The researchers then asked the groups to complete a set to “ranked group IQ tasks,” according to a press release from VT. They were not informed that they were placed with others of similar innate intelligence until the end of the group tasks … Some individuals’ expressed IQ was affected by signals about their status within a small group. Basically, if you’ve decided that you’re dumber than those around you, you’re going to act way dumber than you actually are … The result? Women in business meetings, on juries and even at parties may perceive themselves as less intelligent — and act that way.”
I happen to be an asshole who will get on an intellectual high horse when I sense that those around me aren’t very smart. Just kidding, but I still wouldn’t pretend to be dumb to feel like a member of a certain group so what the hell is this shit, ladies??
