You really need to play Acquire. The first thing I thought when I discovered it is "why hasn't Mikey already showed me this game?!"

This one is my favorite "old" board game, created in the 60s but I just discovered it this winter. Takes about 10min to learn and has crazy replay value. http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5/acquire And this one is pretty much the greatest two-…

Other benefits of unlocked phone: use tethering & wi-fi access point features without extra provider fees. Travel the world and talk/surf for cheap with pre-paid SIMs (GSM only). Delete all the crap on the phone that the provider forces you to i…

$30/mo for unlimited data and text on T-mobile, but only 100 min talk. No contracts, month-to-month. Bring your own phone. Truly $30/mo, no weird extra charges. I can make calls via Skype and GrooveIP (which allows use of VOIP for incoming calls!) s…

Which turns Vice from journalists into criminals for aiding and abetting! Cool story bro. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/12/how-vice-got-john-mcafee-caught/

Regarding bribes for apartments, the same thing happens in NYC. Update (via Adrien Chen's twitter): Vice gave away his hiding spot via upload of picture with embedded location info. http://regex.info/exif.cgi?imgurl=http://assets.vice.com/content-i…

While I agree with the sentiment not to pay bribes, I don't think it makes much sense to blame travelers for creating or sustaining "the bribe culture" in Mexico and Central/South America. In many cases they are simply being savvy enough to act like…

This is one of those "only in 2012" type stories that I find fascinating. Drug dealer makes even more money in tech world than he could smuggling drugs, then sells the company and retires to central American compound where his love of guns and novel…

She does it way better. Looks like Bo ate a lemon.

Audrey and I om nom'd *so* many fries, of both the cheesy and non-cheesy persuasion. Plus dogs. My beer and jello shot may have vaccinated me from the effects, but as far as I could tell Audrey had a sober night. Both of us felt great, no ill effec…

"Great Ideas of the GOP" = everything enacted by Bill Clinton. (NAFTA, welfare reform, balanced budget, 100K more police, economic expansion, lowest fed income taxes, paid off lots of debt) That's why I have always maintained that Clinton was the be…

One beautifully hand-crafted 12 oz. Americano from Fresh Pot to gird my loins for the commute. Upon arrival at the spice mines: one decent shot from the office coffee stand to stiffen the dregs. A cup of sludge from the break room pot to rouse a s…

A friend of mine is looking for a "formally trained graphic artist" for a design/preprint shop with experience in print and web (no coding, just need to understand usability and UX). Appreciation of typography is a bonus. Portfolio required. Contact…

Not just laptops, any modern (intel) mac is a potential target. Just remember to fire up Software Update and grab the latest Java Security Update to protect yourself. (May have already downloaded/installed automatically so don't panic if you don't s…

Those commands work fine. You can also check other apps like Chrome via; defaults read /Applications/Chrome.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment Despite all the hoopla I haven't met anyone who is infected yet and figured this crowd would have a lot of …

So Loose_Thread your mac was sick?

Copy and paste each one of the three code strings below into the terminal window (not all at once, three steps). Each command should run automatically but if not hit return. defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment default…

It was gonna either be that or Flash. Two of the best threat vectors for OSX. My money would have been on Flash but that was before I knew that Apple lags months behind on java updates...

I'll post simplified instructions for checking for infection via Terminal when I get home today. No access to Macs at work. Sadface.

Yeah i haven't met a juicer that doesn't have cleanup issues. You want to find one that breaks down easily so there is no weird scrubbing involved.

http://delicious.com/stacks/view/P1nmt2 is a beginning of a link "stack" with links to online computer/programming classes that I'm putting together. Feel free to make suggestions if you know of any good stuff I don't have on there yet as I'm just s…

Very good points, thanks for your insight. Cautions: "Computers" is a sufficiently broad concept in 2012 to be equal to something like "Music" or "Pop culture". And I suspect there is a lot of crossover between your two categories of "Excellent/Rav…

I'm starting to lose you bigmac. I get your point, but I wonder if you are poking too hard. there seems to be an interesting new sub-genre of documentary film emerging. super-stylized, heroic/emotional, non-objective and well-scored films about, an…

As a gamer geek I actually wanted more tech stuff in the movie, like when they showed how the Fez guy builds his texture maps in Photoshop, but that was very few and far between, and probably a smart move by the film makers to avoid alienating the n…

So good. Not really even about video games, rather the human drama of intensely personal DIY creative endeavors that are lovingly/obsessively created over months and years, then released naked into a brutally honest world. Even teared up a little.
