Quick Hits


I’m just quickly breaking radio silence to link to this very funny History of the Internet.

I think everyone piling on poor Martha is pretty overdone (folks at Enron, Worldcom/MCI, and Adelphia, to name but a few, stole far more money, with a much greater effect on the economy, but they’re not rich and prissy and blonde, so they get to slide), but this Photoshop contest is kinda funny. This is less funny, but the first paragraph works.

Also, the decidedly not funny deeper story of a “news of the weird” type story from a few years back: “Japanese Tourist Dies Hunting for ‘Fargo’ Millions.” The real story is a lot more human and touching than that.

Disco is to music what Etch-A-Sketch is to art.
