best thing in the super bowl last night
Manningham or someone made a catch in the fourth quarter, but he landed out of bounds and it got called incomplete, and Tom Coughlin was flipping his shit on the sideline, and Al Michaels went “Tom Coughlin… is… crazy!” And that was it, end of thought.
I decided I would try to make a meme of it but I was on my private Twitter at the time and I don’t think anyone else...

It was 47 degrees out at the airport when I left town tonight, which just means that it’s 47 degrees high up in the valley rather than down in the hollows that I...

Ever since I saw that Ice Cube post I’ve been trying to work out in my head what kind of SPARQL query you’d need to construct to get that exact date, and what kind of data would need to be represented in RDF to make it possible. I a) am a crazy person b) should be teaching in a library school someplace c) both d) neither

There was some other willowy, red-haired hipster kid with glasses and a cardigan waiting for the bus at the library when I got here this morning! I almost asked him if he was listening to the New Pornographers; if he had been I think I’d have had to fight him or something. There can be only one.
