One of my favorite experiences is watching these videos. They make me choke up, which should be sufficient to have me avoid them to some degree, but the experience has a purity that is refreshing. Emotions are weird.

Sorry Torontoans (Torontoites? Torotomen? Torontotontos?)

Love,

Boston.

Ham Upgrade

jewlesthemagnificent:

halfbakedidea:

indefensible:

I just bought some delicious potato and leek soup. The guy behind the jump told me to pay the extra $n and have their ‘ham upgrade’.

I had the ham upgrade. 

Ham upgrade should be a thing available all the time. Whatever you were going to have, plus a fucking big bunch of ham.

Ham upgrade.

HAM UPGRADE

I’m now picturing Beyonce singing “Upgrade” but with ham.

“Hmm…Business class? Nah, I’ll just take the ham upgrade, thanks.”

GATTACA

I now have my entire DNA sequence in an excel file. I feel like Buck Rogers.

My genetic heritage is as expected: I’m Irish as Irish gets. 

I may give some details later—it’s very neat to see the paths that my ancestors took to reach Ireland, but I’m slightly disappointed by the vagueness. Being a geek, I like to zoom in on things that interest me. Look for data to gather from it. Do stats and look for stories in the numbers. I want so badly to be able to click somewhere and see a film of my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather bitching about one thing or another and see my  great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandmother roll her eyes at him. I want to see how they lived and what their shoes looked like. 

Well, that’s not possible so I have to just be satisfied with the tiny bit of info I did get. It’s still amazing to think that it’s available. Just think of what we’ll be able to order in 200 years. 

On Behalf of All Bostonians

cwj:

I would like to apologize to those of you who have tuned in to these nationally broadcast press conferences these last few days and tried to decipher the mumblings of Mayor Tom Menino.

We don’t know what he’s saying, either.

I can understand him. He said:

“Boston police and the Boston police and the various agencies involved in the apprehension of the Boston police and the Boston police and the suspect. I’d like to thank the law enforcement”

I think.

Two guys in custody in Boston

After a car chase gunfight with possible bombs.

You need more than guns to get out of Boston, dirtbags.

Here’s hoping it’s THE suspects.

This is what I was talking about earlier.

Hockey and Boston, I adore you.

The national anthem for the Bruins game is killing me right now.

Just the crowd singing.

I don’t understand what cause would be furthered by killing an eight year old kid

or blow limbs off of people raising money for great causes.

Step forward with your cause, you pathetic psychopaths. Let’s hear your best argument.

Let us all weigh your cause against an eight year old’s life.

Who among us has

t-shirts on Threadless? 

I want to get some t-shirts, but also want to support people and shit.

I think it’s befuddled that I would take a picture of it.

I mentioned this earlier, but IN CASE YOU DIDN’T SEE. 
Today my team and I launched the site we’ve been working on for the past month or so. Maybe more? Probably more. I’ve lost track of time. 
Anyways, there are tweaks to be made as well as improvements, but we’re happy to put it out on the interwebz to get some feedback. 
Coffitivity streams the ambient sounds of a coffee shop, which according to recent studies, have been proven to increase your creative cognition.
Check it out. Use it. Share it with your friends & colleagues. Thanks! 

I’m interested to try this tomorrow to see if it does give me a little more focus. The premise is neat—it’s worth a go.

Last night some dude mistexted me. I was off my game. It was prime trolling territory and I missed it.

Promoted (yay, big office…but wait)

The person I’m replacing leaves tomorrow and it’s a complex position. I. Am. Freaking. The. Fuck. Out.

I have shit scribbled on my crotch, there’s so much to remember.

I’m going to puke.

This is not normal.
