New Hybrid Laptop From Asus

This looks cool — the new Asus Taichi, a new laptop-tablet hybrid. Gizmodo calls it the technological equivalent of a mullet. I’m not sure if they mean that as a good thing or a bad thing.

For those who can’t decide between an ultrabook’s handy QWERTY keyboard, and a slim tablet’s touchscreen UI, Asus has just revealed a hybrid, double-duty display solution. Wait a second: Business in front, party in the back? That sounds awfully familiar.

Emphasis added. Sorry.

What To Do If You Become A Zombie

So Now You're A Zombie

Have you heard about the zombie-like activity that’s been going on? No?

Really? I mean, it’s been all over the Internet. (This is a link to the stories. They are gross. Don’t click it if you don’t want to be seriously grossed out. Here it is. OK? We warned you.)

Here’s a quote from his review for the book jacket:

Brett Singer Tweets for 2012-05-27

This week in Brett Singer Tweets, the should-be-released-as-a-single Homer Face from The Simpsons season finale (“I clean my ears / Cuz that’s how I hears”), I express doubt that there are multiple ways to skin a cat, and wonder why no one ever takes defense, they only take offense. Ha! Read on.

Tetris The Movie (DaddyTube)

A fan-imagined trailer for a movie based on the game Tetris. Because after all, “If Battleship gets its own movie, why not Tetris?” Why not indeed.

Based on this trailer, made by a YouTuber called Warialasky, the movie would be better than “Battleship”, which is admittedly like saying someone is shorter than Shaquille O’Neal. But still.
