Squee in a Tube

Apparently, someone’s managed to bottle and sell it. You can now buy Squee! in a tube. πŸ˜‰

Eye See You

Optometrist sign with a giant eyeball.

I think the picture says it all.

I took one other picture that’s framed better, but doesn’t have quite the same creepiness factor.

Seeing Transformers 2

Posted on September 26, 2009

I finally saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen today.

In some ways it wasn’t as awful as I’d heard, and in some ways it was worse. I’m glad I waited for the second-run showing and only spent $1.75. Read on…

Starbuck(’)s Coffee

Starbucks sign with an apostrophe removed

I found this sign on the day after National Punctuation Day. You can still see the residue from the adhesive where the extra apostrophe was attached.

WTF? Google C&Ds Android modder Cyanogen. Isn’t it supposed to be licensed open-source in the first place? The cease-and-desist order is about Google’s apps (Maps, Gmail, etc.) that are pre-installed, not about the operating system itself, but still, it feels like a violation of the spirit if not the letter of the license.

Marketing-Free!

Posted on September 25, 2009
by Kelson

This XKCD comic reminds me of the “uranium-free pizza” joke from some scouting event way back when.

A line drawing of cereal boxes on a shelf, the last of which is labeled as ASBESTOS-FREE! The whole thing is captioned: I hate whatever marketer first realized you could do this.

Irvine Postcard

Posted on September 25, 2009
by Kelson

Would you believe I found a postcard for Irvine?

It’s a bunch of office buildings with mountains in the background. I guess it makes sense. I mean, what else would you put in an Irvine postcard?
