A movie adaptation of 21 Jump Street is in the works and the executive producer is this guy.
I’m trying to stop focusing on a few [lost] minutes here and there and instead embrace a chance to lose them, knowing I’ll produce something of quality. (Not quantity.)

Apparently, the “opening the box” experience is slightly different for Apple buyers and Windows buyers, at least Microsoft thinks so. I mean, honestly, does that page need to exist?

Your classic pair [of traditional ballet pointe shoes] can last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of days…The American Ballet Theatre in New York City sets aside $350,000 for pointe shoes per season, about $7,500 per ballerina…Most of the shoes purchased for Ballet Tucson come from Freed of London, an established British pointe shoe maker since 1929.

I don’t mean to sound ridiculously naive here, but if good ballet shoes cost $50-100, and professional ballerinas completely destroy a pair in less than a week, and most of these shoes are being made by (ostensibly) a handful of companies who have been making the shoes since the early 20th century (ostensibly) in the same fashion, doesn’t it stand to reason that someone needs to design a better ballet shoe?

With Moustache May in full swing, and my Team Western stache in full effect, I have to admit staches have been on my mind.

Behold WordPress, Destroyer of CPUs – Jeff Atwood discusses the irresponsible lack of built-in caching in WordPress’s out-of-the-box installation. I’m starting to use the WP-Cache plugin and seeing a fairly dramatic speed increase (and I don’t even get that much traffic in the grand scheme of things.)
Don’t quit your day job.

Twitter gets more interesting by the day. For example, Cobra Commander (and General Hawk.)
Trent Reznor can’t be stopped. The new Nine Inch Nails album The Slip is available for download. For free. Quote, “thank you for your continued and loyal support over the years – this one’s on me.” It’s like he’s a kid who just discovered he can fly; now he flies everywhere. And paradigms for music distribution continue to change.
