How do you WIN the game? Surely by hearing about winning you lose? Can we actually be free … cos you suck at losing, like all the time dude!!

XKCD Experiment

Posted in , , and on Sat, 12th Jan 2008 at 13:06

My little experiment worked yesterday. As soon as I saw an xkcd cartoon claim that the phrase "died in a haberdashery accident" gave no results I was compelled to create a post with that name. Unsurprisingly, I'm now (as of the time of writing) the number one result for that phrase. I've had several hundred hits to that small and rather pointless post in the last twelve hours (the logs are compacted daily so I didn't bother to look farther back to the previous twelve hours the post was up).

Died in a haberdashery accident

From xkcd.

Those two results for "died in a blogging accident" both point to this MySpace post, which will no doubt make the poster in question very confused indeed about his new-found popularity.

Just doing a check on the current statistics… Skydiving: 94,800 Elevator: 217,000 (407,000 for a lift accident) Surfing: 906,000 Skateboarding: 203,000 Camping: 245,000 Gardening: 212,000 Ice skating: 38,700 Knitting: 133,000 Blogging: 675,000 Snake Charming: 405,000 Haberdashery: 3,900

Ah the observor's paradox.

The 25 Secret Perks of Working at Google

Posted in , , , and on Thu, 27th Dec 2007 at 16:25

At least these perks used to be secret. Thanks for posting them on the web, Cracked.com. Now everyone will know that,

New Google employees each receive a keepsake Google hacky-sack filled with pulverized sapphires.

This is even worse than the time xkcd let slip that we learn the secret of levitation after 256 days. By the way, I learned it about two weeks back. It's pretty obvious once you think about it.

Randall Munroe at Google

Posted in , and on Thu, 13th Dec 2007 at 23:41

Randall Munroe, creator of the world's best web comic xkcd, visited the Googleplex in Mountain View recently. Apparently they baked him a cake shaped like the Internet. Watch it all, but especially check out the Google Doodle he does at the end.

If Ireland had cool people like this they might come visit me in Dublin…
