The good news. I will be fine.

Bad news, I spent the day in the ER. Had an infection and fever.

I have giant antibiotics and pain pills. 

If I am scarce for a day or two, I’m just recouping. 

I love you all. 

Don’t hold me to that. Pain pills make me very love-happy.

I just told a chicken mcnugget I loved it. 

It’s the one shaped like the United States. Only Florida is chopped off. 

Seriously, why are these antibiotics so big? I have to take two of them at a time. I really think they could have smooshed them smaller if they wanted to. 

I probably love most of you even without pain pills.

I definitely love any pets you may have.

A long and tiring commute can eat into your productivity, but that doesn't mean you should try to be productive while commuting. Instead, do something that makes you happy, says says productivity coach Hillary Rettig.

You know you want one.

From Thinkgeek:

We could all use something to add a little more magic to our mornings – something like this Unicorn Mug, which is a ThinkGeek creation and exclusive. Featuring a unicorn, blue skies, and a rainbow, it holds 13 oz. of whatever makes you happy, whether that’s coffee, hot cocoa, or the blood of your enemies Mountain Dew.

I tisdags uppstod en kontrovers när det kom fram att Mozillas CEO Brendan Eich hade skänkt pengar till den så kallade Proposition 8 i Kalifornien, ett förslag om att förbjuda homosexuella att gifta sig. Nu har Eich fått lämna sin post på grund av efterföljderna.

Datingsajten OkCupid uppmärksammades när de manade sina användare att bojkotta Firefox. De som surfade in på OkCupids sajt med Firefox möttes av ett meddelande om kritik mot Eich, samt en uppmaning om att byta till en annan webbläsare. En protestlista mot Eich samlade ihop över 70000 underskrifter.

Under tisdagen blev det offentligt att Mozillas CEO Brendan Eich under 2008 hade skänkt $1000 till Proposition 8 i Kalifornien. Proposition 8 var ett förslag om att äktenskap bara ska vara lagligt mellan en man och en kvinna.

Brendan Eich är tidigare känd för att ha uppfunnit Javascript och varit med och grundat Firefox. Tills för två veckor sedan, då han utsågs till CEO, var hans titel ”chief technology officer”.

I en bloggpost hos Mozilla skriver Mitchell Baker att Brendan Eich lämnat posterna som såväl CEO samt i styrelsen för Mozilla Foundation.

I bloggposten hos Mozilla skriver Baker vidare att organisationen varit dåliga på att agera snabbt och att man ber om ursäkt för detta. Mozilla har alltid propagerat för jämnlikhet och yttrandefrihet.

Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech. And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard. [Källa: Mozilla Press Center]

The fine folks at Unnecessary Censorship finally got their hands on the Avengers movie, and the results are predictably hilarious. If you can make it through Thor's "He adopted" line without cackling madly, you're a better man than I.

Set in a futuristic world that is run by the mob, street gangs, drug addicts and corrupted cops, Lucy (Scarlett Johansson), a woman living in Taipei, Taiwan, 2069 AD, works as a drug mule for the mob. The drug she inadvertently takes goes into her system, changing her into a metahuman. She can absorb knowledge instantaneously, is able to move objects with her mind and can’t feel pain and other discomforts.

Oh, and about that thing where human beings only use 10% of their brain power,it’s a myth!

We all know about Neil Patrick Harris’ musical skills.

And Jason Segel showed his musical (and puppetry) chops in Saving Sarah Marshall.

In fact when one or both of them have been on talk shows, I’ve heard them talk about their Les Miserables musical duets on the How I Met Your Mother set.

The entire HIMYM cast visited Inside the Actor’s Studio recently and at the behest of a young actor, Harris and Segel obliged the audience with their rendition of “Confrontation.”

Most ebook sellers try to lock you into a particular ecosystem. If you don't mind buying from the same company every time, this isn't too bad, but you lose the ability to comparison shop, as well as making it difficult to switch apps. Fortunately, there's a way around this problem.

11 Signs You're A Men's Rights Activist:

mensrightsactivism:

Text (would be legible on actual shirt):

1. You have no problem with the gender wage gap. But you hate having to pay for dates.

2. You insist that it’s a scientifically proven fact that men are stronger than women. But you complain about society believing that it’s worse for a man to hit a woman than for a woman to hit a man.

3. You believe that the age of consent is unfair and that there’s nothing wrong with having sex with teenage girls. But when you find out that a teenage girl enjoys sex, you believe she’s the biggest slut in the world.

4. You hate when a woman automatically assumes that a man is a douchebag before getting to know him. But when you like a woman who likes another man, you assume he’s a douchebag just because he’s not you.

5. You believe that if women want equality, they should be drafted into the military. But you also believe that the military is not a place for women.

6. You hate when women assume that men are like wild animals. But you believe that a woman who doesn’t cover up and make herself invisible to men is just like someone wearing a meat suit around wild animals.

7. You hate the fact that men are bullied for not conforming to their male gender roles. But when you find out that a man disagrees with your beliefs about women’s rights, your immediate response is to try to emasculate him by comparing him to a woman as an insult.

8. You hate when women assume that there are no nice guys. But you call yourself a nice guy and act like it’s a rare quality that should cause women to be all over you.

9. You hate when women assume that men just want to get laid. But when you find out that a man is a feminist, you assume that he’s just doing it to get laid.

10. You hate when women make generalizations about all men. But when a woman calls you out for being sexist, you claim that all men think like you.

11. You insist that women should be responsible for protecting themselves from being raped. But when they follow the one piece of advice that actually works, which is being aware of red flags, you complain about them assuming that all men are rapists.

This is too fantastic.
