if this doesn't at least make you smile, you have no soul.
it helps if you're a spongebob fan, but it's essentially the cast of spongebob dubbing over famous film classics.
a sesame street tribute to ada lovelcace day. not really, but it's relevant, i swear
sesame street disabled embedding, so you'll have to go to youtube.com to watch this.

teen stars think racism is cool before they waste rest of their lives addicted to meth and being irrelevant
that was an all around insult spray to as many teen/child stars as i could. apparently, joe jonas (one of the jonas brothers, apparently) thinks making "slant eyes" is fun. really, it would just be easier if he bought these. Sure, it costs a little bit more, but your visible ignorance can last with little effort for 800 years.this is very similar to miley's recent "oriental gesture" picture and demonstrates a reversal of cultural equality in america that is generally unspoken and depressing.
to my friends that think asian racism is not harmful or that making "oriental gestures" or "fake accents" is funny, tell that to the asians with such a poor self image and shame that they have their eyes surgically altered to look more like you. not to be too serious, but you have to be one sheltered cracker ass cracker to think making fun of how group of people looks is acceptable, or even cool. i know you think it's not that bad, but when you're making fun of a group of people, you are implying that your own group is in some way superior. and you should really find another way to show your insecurities in your math and science shortcomings. and i may know i'm great now, but i think it's very sad that i spent the first 20 years of my life wishing i had more caucasian features (every american standard of beauty was based on a caucasian scale).

who could withstand the man of steel? Stephanie Kwolek.
that's because she invented Kevlar, which is 5x stronger than steel.
about Kevlar: a fiber developed by Stephanie Kwolek in 1965, that is generally spun into sheets or ropes. there are over 200 products that use kevlar. some examples of products that use kevlar:
about the inventor, Stephanie Kwolek: she was born July 31st, 1923, in a Pittsburgh suburb. she graduated from Margaret Morrison Carnegie College (known as Carnegie Mellon University today) with a degree in chemistry in 1946. . intending to save money for medical school, she took a job in chemistry at DuPont. (in light of World War II, many male dominated fields were being filled by women.)
in 1964, DuPont wanted to develop a high performance fiber for lighter, stiffer car tires (which would lead to better gas mileage). as no one wanted the project, Kwolek volunteered. in her course of research, she had developed a promising polymer. after wearing down the man who refused to spin the new material (out of fear that it would clog up the spinneret), it turned out that the fiber was 9 times stronger than previous materials she had developed. concerned that it was a fluke, she sent it for spinning several times, yielding the same results. after much care and dotting all of her "i's", she finally submitted the results to DuPont, and Kevlar was introduced to the world in 1971.
since 1971, kwolek's contribution to science and technology has improved lives well beyond her initial intentions. not only has she made cars more fuel efficient with strong and light automobile tire reinforcement, but she saves the lives of those whose job is to protect us and the lives of people like my brother that think he should pop wheelies on his motorcycle on the interstate.
most importantly, though, is that her invention isn't great because she is a woman, but because of it's contributions to humanity as a whole. additionally, it is proof of the positive effects from the absence of sausage parties in male dominant fields, such as chemistry. TAKE THAT, Joseph Clois Shivers, Jr!

mike tyson is a pinata of knowledge
while checking my reader stream of iwatchstuff.com and reading an article on a mike tyson film biography (sure to be a classic), i remembered some of the quotable gems from mike tyson's public career that helped shape his public image. he has said some classic shit.such as, "I just have this thing inside me that wants to eat and conquer. Maybe it's egotistical, but I have it in me. I don't want to be a tycoon. I just want to conquer people and their souls."
and how could you forget, "I’m just trying to change my life because I’m not above killing any drug dealer for money."
you're a shithead if you forgot, “I want to throw down your kid and stomp on his testicles, and then you will know what it is like to experience waking up everyday as me. And only then will you feel my pain.” (on the media)
really, i could get lost in this stuff. when you get a chance, go check out his quotes on wikiquote or see his biography TYSON

i'm self employed and not making any money
actually, i just say "self employed" because i needed something else to do with my time, so i've started another blog. this one focuses on my career, the recession, and how to deal (but better than how mandy moore handled it).

i'd like to start a company based on this logo.
i don't know what it will do/sell, but this is one of the best logo's i've ever seen, while browsing around flickr.
