The Daily Show in Iran

Spencer — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 03:35:02 +0000

If you haven’t seen this – it’s hilarious. Daily Show corespondent Jason Jones goes to Iran and in this segment he aims to find out who knows more: Americans about Iran or Iranians about America. The results might surprise you. (Not me though).

Smiling and the beginning of the Robot Uprising

Spencer — Wed, 27 May 2009 04:28:37 +0000

You should smile unless you’re in Arkansas, Indiana, Nevada, or Virginia.

Just read in USA Today (don’t ask me why I was reading USA Today) that the 4 states listed above have begun disallowing smiles in DMV photos. Apparently they use facial recognition software to compare photos to photos on other licenses and smiles kind of screw up the process.

We all know from the movies that robots have problems can’t handle emotion. So now the robots are evening the playing field and asking humans to eliminate emotions. It’s a slippery slope I tell you.

Next thing you know – once more without emotion, the humans are dead, dead, dead.

This might be too easy. I love this photo – only thing missing is a Budweiser in his hand.

A Test for the Grammatically Inclined

Spencer — Wed, 14 May 2008 02:49:28 +0000

Sorry about the dearth in posts. Vacation is upcoming, and I’ve been hela-busy at work leading up to it. (Isn’t that always the case? I’ve always said – vacation is work deferred, not work avoided.)

Anyway – we found the following on our door today. I’m wondering the first line is a statement about us? Hope not.

We’ve realized that Conshohocken is not full of great grammatical stars. I like that they got it wrong, not once, but twice.

Dance Party Friday: Vacation

Thanks Merujo for introducing me to Dance Party Friday. Every once in awhile I look to see if there are any new episodes and who am I kidding – there are always new episodes. Here’s a good one for a Friday at the end of a long week.

Wish Philly news was this fun.
