Uh…

I have a suspicion that this missed connection is talking about me…I’m not beautiful, but I’m shy, I teach stats, and my name starts with C. I wonder if it was posted by the VGH guy…I haven’t met anyone new in like 4 years.

(I’d be totally cool with it being the VGH guy.)

How the hell do you respond to an ad like this without looking weird? Should I respond at all? WHY AM I EVEN CONSIDERING THIS I’M LEAVING IN ~2 MONTHS AND NO ONE WILL EVER LOVE ME ANYWAY ALSDKFJALFJASFASDFSFLF

(drama is my friend)

What Does the Blog Say?

So remember when I said I don’t browse Newgrounds much anymore?

I lied.

Anyway, this video is actually quite clever in my opinion (and it’s also posted on YouTube, so I could embed it). Check it out! Safe for work and all that fun stuff.

Children of Dial-Up

So who remembers this glorious noise?

Internettin’

Haha, oh, Sound Cloud.

Do you remember this? DO YOU REMEMBER THE NIGHTMARES?!

I saw this video quite a few years ago and now this song always reminds me of Vancouver:

Another awesome Rage Quit I don’t think I’ve ever posted on here.

 

Wha?

So I was scrolling through someone’s Tumblr this afternoon and I came upon this gif:

tumblr_mwn12c6o4x1qdlh1io1_400

Is that the Kibbie Dome? I mean, I know it’s kind of “generic indoor sports arena,” but that really looks like the Kibbie Dome steps.

If so, that’s hilarious. The blog on which I found this has absolutely NOTHING to do with anything remotely related to the U of I…I think the person is in Florida. And it’s mainly an Achievement Hunter blog, not a gif or “funny pics” blog.

Haha, it made my night.

Welcome to the Internet

(Sorry, I had a mega migraine today and am very foggy. This vid is probably more coherent than anything I’d try to write here.)

YouTube Throwback

So I logged into my old YouTube account this afternoon—the one I made back in 2007 and pretty much stopped using by 2009. My old “Favorites” list is still posted there…


A The Brave Little Toaster trailer created as if it was a horror film.


This is appropriate for this time of year.


Oh my god, shoes.


Older than old, but still great.

And saving the best for last:


If you haven’t seen Benny Lava, you need to watch it now!

Stumble Dump

As I’ve said, I’m already obscenely busy, so today’s feature is just some of my favorite sites I’ve found using StumbleUpon.

BLOG COMPLETE

FX

Being social is freaking draining. So screw that.

Instead, this:

I watched this like two days ago and I DREAMT ABOUT IT last night. Weird.

[Edit: good lord, this went viral. It had like 23,000 views when I saw it.]

Sorry, nothing else to say. As I’ve mentioned (and as you’ve probably noticed), my blog posts tend to deteriorate as school takes over my life. They’ll come back, I promise.

Poopz

I don’t care if no one else who reads this likes YouTube Poop, I do. And this one is fantastic.

(I’ve been obscenely anxious lately; things like this kind of deaden it.)

This Week’s Science–ah, scew it, it’s about Wikipedia.

CLICK THIS NOW.

What is it? It’s the sound of knowledge!

More specifically, it’s the sound of Wikipedia being edited. Tones play in real time, signifying the addition (bells) and subtraction (strings) of information to Wikipedia articles. The lower the tone, the larger the edit. There’s even a beautiful tone for new Wiki users registering.

What’s even cooler is the fact that the map displays which Wiki pages are being edited and allows you to click through to them if you find one particularly intriguing.

Seriously, this is really beautiful if you think about the fact that its arising out of a bunch of different people with a bunch of different information putting that information out there to share with others.

Very, very cool.

Holy Crapples

Oh my god.

There’s an article on Leibniz on Uncyclopedia.

The whole thing is a Leibniz/Newton slashfest.

  • “He was born with extremely long and poofy hair, which he wore to bed every night and named ‘Poof.'”
  • “The mathematician Isaac Newton fell in love with Leibniz when he discovered this divine hair, nicknaming him ‘Gotthair.'”
  • “He enjoyed sex, tapdancing, walking his headdress, keeping frogs in his pocket, drinking, and keeping frogs in his headdress.”
  • “Newton fell desperately in love with Leibniz, and ferociously stalked him. Leibniz, however, was not interested in Newton’s inferior and less poofy hair.”
  • “Leibniz’s troubles of giving us this divine truth was due to the threat of Netwon’s sex drive. Leibniz was never able to sit down long enough to write more than a couple of pages before Newton found him again.”
  • “Leibniz and Poof relentlessly attempted to avoid Newton’s calculus seduction, which began the series of violent battles known as the Calculus Wars.”
  • “It has been theorized that Leibniz’s unique ability to rise from the dead is attributable to Poof’s power level being over 9,000!”

I AM LAUGHING SO HARD.

 

OH GODS

So early this morning I posted on my Tumblr a set of screenshots of Wolfram Alpha jokes.

And then this happened this afternoon:

dfsdfsf

Freaking Wolfram Alpha! Holy crap. Highlight of my day!

Yeah.

Most peoples’ Tumblrs: Dr. Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter.
My Tumblr: Math, Wolfram Alpha, Leibniz.

(I’m going to die alone, aren’t I?)

Miiiiiiight as well face it, you’re addicted to meth

Yes, I’m about to promote Tumblr blogs on my own non-Tumblr blog. Because honestly I’m still trying to mentally recover from last semester and I’m busy with calc + work + trying not to implode, so DEAL WITH IT.

If you dig minimalist posters of pretty much everything cool, you’ll dig this guy’s Tumblr.

This is the guy who did those cauliflower interpretations of major news events I posted quite awhile back.

Maaaaaaaaaath.

For the 0% of you who follow me for my (now rare) R posts.

Basically the internet condensed into a single Tumblr.

Here’s some sludge

From the depths of my braaaaaaaaaaaaaain (and the internet and my computer).

ffff

This was a book I found when I was searching for references for my Vancouver essay. Best title ever.

 

Untitled

Hahaha, that first sentence. This is the Wiki article for Cerbera odollam.

This is the greatest thing on the internet.

Jesus Markoving Christ is a generator by Josh Millard that takes words/phrases from the Bible and creates new phrases based on a Markov chain process.

(Yes, this is the same guy who did the Garkov generator I posted a few days back, but this is so much more entertaining).

Some of these are just…wow.

christ-000059883  christ-077827615 christ-122180005   christ-231006735  christ-302756973 christ-304029892  christ-364729111 christ-654176208   christ-662398965

Someone should make a quiz: “Actual Bible Quote or Jesus Markoving Christ?”

 

Oh Internet…

There has been at least one previous blog post in which I’ve mentioned an assortment of Garfield parodies/tributes.

Well here’s another one. Garkov uses a Markov model to take transcripts of old Garfield strips and rearranges it to make new strips.

Some of them that you get are freaking great.

kjhkh kkh ll llll yiyi

There’s also a list of other Garfield fun on the internet at the bottom of the page.

Awesome.

 

Claudia’s Random Blog of Random Bloginess

The best part about being sleep-deprived and then spending the wee hours of the morning on Tumblr is waking up after finally getting some sleep and seeing some of the weird-ass crap you’ve reblogged/saved on your compy that you don’t remember.

Examples:

LAZOR

Noise from the ‘Net

I’m getting all my YouTubin’ out now because once classes start I won’t have time to do much else but study/work/revel in joy.*


Oh man. I’ve seen this before like AGES ago, but holy freaking crap.
Pizzzzza.
Large Macs.
BONBONBONBONS. The way he says it. I’m on the floor, oh my god.


Dude. This song and video.


It’s Rage Quit, so excessive cursing warning and all that. And it’s Nyan Cat, so excessive seizure-inducing flashing warning and all that as well.


I’m just gonna put this here. It’s actually a really catchy song; I listened to it on repeat for like two hours the other day.

END!

*Who am I kidding, nothing can keep me off of the Tubes. Damn you, Al Gore. Damn you.

DADADDAADADAAAAAAAAAA

Unintentional hilarity: forums arguing over “calculus” versus “the calculus.”

“I would use the calculus to help with my diabeetus, plain old calculus for other purposes. Seriously, “the calculus” reminds me of Wilford Brimley.”

“The Batman calls it the calculus.”

“I call them Fluxions, I’m old school.”

 

Haha, that’s all for today. I’m busy.

Oh my goodness, internet.

These. Are. Fantastic.

For any poor soul not familiar with the term “YouTube Poop”, a rough definition from KnowYourMeme describes it as, “[a] video that has been made with appropriated footage and collage editing techniques for the purpose of either annoying or entertaining viewers in the increasingly indifferent world of Youtube.”

These are two of the greatest Poops I’ve ever seen.


“Never ever?”


I was literally on the floor laughing at the Six Flags and the raving. And “BAAAABAAAAAR!”

Haha, sorry. I thought these were fantastic. This is why I want to study the internet.

The spheres have it

Oh man, have you guys ever read Uncyclopedia’s “Mathematics” entry? Oh my god.

  • “Space, the final mathematical frontier. This is the study of Euclidean geometry. To seek out new angles and new dimensions. To boldly plot what has never been plotted before.”
  • “But most importantly, professional mathematicians never get any sex. Ever. So when your guidance counsellor suggests you consider a field in mathematics, you’ll be looking at a long, lonely road of division, subtracted from the mainstream of society. What this all adds up to… is that mathematicians never multiply.”
  • “Mathematical logic is concerned with setting mathematics within a rigorous axiomatic framework and whipping them until they cry out for their mothers.”
  • (One of the footnotes) “Being arithmetically correct is so mundane.”
  • And the “Basic Notation” table. Oh my god.

Edit: oh my god, the “Linear Algebra” page is all about spheres. I’m dying.

Oh, internet.

Internet, internet, internet.

Perfection.

 

More fun:

 

Title?? WHY?!?!?!

All my friends are Earth signs. Haha, I’ve been reading zodiac stuff all morning.

The “THE END?!” makes it.

Short blog. I’m insanely busy.

Mmm, I love your stripes

Hahaha, this is fantastic.

I’m surprised Libya’s flag isn’t in the bottom 10.
