Go Cougsars
From Tyler’s shot for the Seattle Times.
Kudos to the Times for already putting up a quick photo gallery. Damn them pros and their Web knowhow and staff (maybe).

Andy’s story sure ain’t gonna hurt our Web hits.
And it’s good to see some comments on Dan’s blog post about it.
Not gonna say how I feel about [...]

Poppycock
Remind me not to do homework late at night as passive aggressively as possible.
Even Ben had to mock me for this sentence gem I turned in to him.
In a university environment, free speech is especially important – this is time in our life that we will have the most time discuss such heated social issues [...]

Don’t stretch the truth
Lisa and I have talked about workout songs before.
Workout music is always such a hassle for me, because the songs I listen to at the gym account for the majority of my listening time, and you just can’t work up a sweat to hip indie tunes. I’ve been thinking about fitness a lot lately, OK, maybe [...]

Study break
Econ makes my eyes glaze over.
I promise this is funny after 1:12. Their whole damn “how to be” series is, especially Gangsta and Emo, but this is the best one. That’s what I get for YouTubing with children. I show them “Salad Fingers, “and they show me “Cheater, Cheater.”
Back to expansionary [...]

That’s a bad, bad Stella
Dear Car,
If you decide to break down at a “major” intersection again, when I’m already having a bad day, only five minutes from home, when there are cars behind me, and I’m hungover and have to walk 20 minutes to get home, I will make you re-enact this. Every day. Forever. And I’ll sing along.

Rant: I hate the Palouse.
Not the town. Not the area.
Just the way writers always use it to sound more creative than “in Pullman.” I don’t ever edit it out, because I know it’s a personal preference, but the damn thing drives me crazy.
“Play hits Palouse.” “WSU Students in Tiny Section of Area Represent All Area.”
Does the TCH always say [...]

It’s coming …
Crazy decorative White House Easter Egg season is almost here, and I really hope the Obamas keep up the State Eggs, like in 2007 and 2008, despite the havoc they’re wreaking on the White House Web site. Pretty much every state picks a ridiculously decorated egg to represent its every prestigious quality. I really wonder [...]

Srsly, Mr. Skyscraper ad?
I’ve tried and tried, but I still just can’t physics myself into understanding this ad.

This damn thing is blowing up the interwebs, but I’ve got to jump on the bandwagon of bloggers who are hatin’ on AskMen.com right now.
The reason? A little feature called “Top 10: Subtle Ways To Tell Her She’s Getting Fat.” Be warned, rigged chairs and buying your gf too small lingerie on purpose are on [...]

Remedial remonstration, of sorts
I found a union for lazy copy editors.
Something about this makes me reach for my proverbial cache of explosives. Too bad the only real fireworks I’ve ever bought were truck, flower or cherry-shaped.
From “10 things a web designer would never tell you”, recommended by StopDesign, the blog-tastic head visual lead at Google who just quit. [...]
