How I Can Tell I Am a Writer

by John Scalzi

Because when I look at this picture, what I spend most of my time looking at is whether any of my books are on the shelves.

(Picture possibly NSFW, as it features painted nudity)

P.S.: I found three.

Oh, hi, I’m still twelve years old.

by Wil Wheaton

I’ve been organizing my game room, and finally addressing the hundreds of billions of Star Trek things I own, including lots of action figures.

I came across one of my Riker figures, and realized something…

They want you to use his poseable arms to hold his awesome phaser, like this:

Riker with his phaser

But this is how it always ended up on my bookshelves:

Riker with his little captain

Because if you’re going to make an action figure that can be posed in ways that make us go hurr hurr hurr, we’re going to do it.

Riker taking care of business

It’s important to be easily amused.

WTF: Mountain Dew Doritos Cupcakes are Actually a Thing [How-to Video + Pic]

by Geeks are Sexy

I’m not too sure what to think of those… while the concept is a great idea, the actual mix between Doritos and Mountain Dew inside a cupcake might be a little gross.

So geeks, anyone interested in making a batch? :)

Here’s a picture from someone who actually tried:

"At 3am on 28 May, Alecia Phonesavanh was asleep in the room she was temporarily occupying together..."

“At 3am on 28 May, Alecia Phonesavanh was asleep in the room she was temporarily occupying together with her husband and four children in the small town of Cornelia, Georgia. Her baby, 18-month-old Bou Bou, was sleeping peacefully in his cot.
 
Suddenly there was a loud bang and several strangers dressed in black burst into the room. A blinding flash burst out with a deafening roar from the direction of the cot. Amid the confusion, Phonesavanh could see her husband pinned down and handcuffed under one of the men in black, and while her son was being held by another. Everyone was yelling, screaming, crying. “I kept asking the officers to let me have my baby, but they said shut up and sit down,” she said.
 
As the pandemonium died down, it became clear that the strangers in black were a Swat team of police officers from the local Habersham County force – they had raided the house on the incorrect assumption that occupants were involved in drugs. It also became clear to Phonesavanh that something had happened to Bou Bou and that the officers had taken him away.
 
“They told me that they had taken my baby to the hospital. They said he was fine he had only lost a tooth, but they wanted him in for observation,” Phonesavanh said.
 
When she got to the hospital she was horrified by what she saw. Bou Bou was in a medically-induced coma in the intensive care unit of Brady Memorial hospital. “His face was blown open. He had a hole in his chest that left his rib-cage visible.”
 
The Swat team that burst into the Phonesavanh’s room looking for a drug dealer had deployed a tactic commonly used by the US military in warzones, and increasingly by domestic police forces across the US. They threw an explosive device called a flashbang that is designed to distract and temporarily blind suspects to allow officers to overpower and detain them. The device had landed in Bou Bou’s cot and detonated in the baby’s face.”

- The American Civil Liberties Union has released the results of its new survey into the use of Swat teams by police forces across the country. It concludes that policing has become dangerously and unnecessarily militarized, literally so with equipment and strategies being imported directly from the US army.

The Last Ship's Premiere Is Every Sci-Fi Action Cliché. And That's Fine

by Katharine Trendacosta
Oakfairy

Lite nyfiken. Är du?

The Last Ship's Premiere Is Every Sci-Fi Action Cliché. And That's Fine

The Last Ship is exactly what it says on the tin. It's an adventure show set on the high seas, with an apocalyptic virus kicker. There are shows that use this kind of premise to do deep introspection on the human condition. This is not that show. This show is the television equivalent of potato chips: filling and delicious, but not too substantive.

Fast Food Ads vs. Reality Experiment

by Geeks are Sexy

From MediocreFilms:

Why does fast food look so much better in ads than in reality? We returned sad-looking food at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s and Jack in the Box to see if they actually could make their food look like it does in their own pictures!

Tips: Halva priset på Link Bubble Pro just nu

by Lars A
Tips: Halva priset på Link Bubble Pro just nu

I våras släppte australiensiske utvecklaren Chris Lacy en innovativ systemapplikation som gör att användare sparar tid när de öppnar webblänkar. Enkelt uttryckt startas Link Bubble när du öppnar länkar via en annan app, som exempelvis Twitter.

Istället för att du behöver vänta på att sidan ska ladda klart visar Link Bubble en liten cirkel ovanpå appen du redan är inne i. På så vis blir ditt arbete inte avbrutet. När cirkeln slutat snurra har hemsidan laddat klart och du kan då öppna sidan utan fördröjning.

Lacy släppte en större uppdatering av appen häromdagen och för att fira har han tillfälligt halverat priset på Pro-versionen, som kostar 16kr just nu. Betalvarianten bjuder på fördelar som obegränsat antal öppna flikar och stöd för röstkommandot ”OK, Google”.

Inlägget Tips: Halva priset på Link Bubble Pro just nu dök först upp på Swedroid.
