Science Fair - The Mathematics of Cunnilingus

A comic strip with math and language jokes – new we're talking! I of course have to pick the most sexually explicit one I've read. If you'd prefer some nice friendly generation gap humor, there's always Join Myspace (which is not actually a promotion of that crap hole, but a joke about it).

A couple more must reads: Penny Arcade Parody and Substitute. In fact, there's a whole velociraptor theme running through these, including a delightful dig at stupid AOL users Search History being released.

Set opening paragraphs flush left | The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web

I'm puzzled by the short technical discussion here, maybe he's not done? The reason I'm puzzled is because he hasn't mentioned how he addresses this very issue on webtypography.net. The code he's using now is:

p + p {
    margin-top: 0pt;
    text-indent: 1.5em;
}

Which, in modern browsers pulls the 2nd and subsequent paragraphs up to touch the prevous, and indents it. That first bit is actually pretty ingenious. His default paragraph top margin is 1.5em, which is what obsolete browsers will see, and newer browsers get the better typography.

What he used to do, at least when the site first launched, is put a class="first" on opening paragraphs, which is what I do on my blog. Yes, I know this because I observed that he was following this typographic rule and looked at the source. His new technique, especially with IE7 on deck, is more clever and less of a maintenance headache.

Weird Al's White & Nerdy

absolutely spot on. scary thing is i think i've seen the original music video. not the whole thing mind you, just a little in passing while looking for tennis in a hotel.

Dan Osman Extreme Climbing - Google Video

ok, so I used to be a little reckless in my outdoors activities, but dude…

I imagine it's somewhat less reckless than it looks, when you've climbed something many times it becomes familiar enough that what might have been impossible the first time is simple. Then again, he died in 1999 doing some crazy jump.

Custom Dice

might just have to get some proper dice cut for dragon duel.
