david:

Can I use the word “nigga” if I’m quoting a song? Specifically, the extremely common gesture of sharing lyrics on a blog or profile.

I imagine nobody would suggest it’s offensive for a white person to share the recording (perhaps excluding the RIAA), but printing the word felt different enough to make me hesitate when making a post earlier. Just curious.

Right now you’re practicing liberal paternalism. Knock it off.

Munich is pretty

sabine:

… from what I’ve seen of it.

Yesterday we went to Schwangau to see the Neuschwanstein Schloss.

Then I went to see a play after having an unfortunate experience at the Pinguin Restaurant at Max Weber Platz.

Today, I’m doing an interview with the theatre manager of the company that put on said play, and then, finally, in the afternoon, I can traipse around the city to my heart’s content.

I will say this: Munich has probably the ugliest main train station I’ve yet encountered in Europe.

Jealous, so jealous.

I love Cheese Sandwiches With Cups Of Tea

I can get both of my legs behind my neck.

i walk into doorways.

I can chug a full bottle of water in 15-20 seconds.

I sometimes forget to write random facts about myself….

I’m smarter than I talk.

I get extremely self-conscious if someone unfollows me and I know who they are..especially if I think we are on common ground and we’ve had good rapport in the past…

I fear to unfollow Constantflux.

I drink round about a pot of coffee a day.

I miss the genius.

Genius indeed. I’m going to need to watch the show when he comes back on. I only used to watch it passingly.

The Secret Origin of Windows | Technologizer

Few people understand Microsoft better than Tandy Trower, who worked at the company from 1981-2009. Trower was the product manager who ultimately shipped Windows 1.0, an endeavor that some advised him was a path toward a ruined career. Four product managers had already tried and failed to ship Windows before him, and he initially thought that he was being assigned an impossible task. In this follow-up to yesterday’s story on the future of Windows, Trower recounts the inside story of his experience in transforming Windows from vaporware into a product that has left an unmistakable imprint on the world, 25 years after it was first released.

Great read for your nerds out there (like me)

OCD Macbook Pro owner asks: how the hell do I keep this thing clean?

brokenbottleboy:

I spend all day using my Macbook and at least twenty minutes every day cleaning it in a battle against cat hair, biscuit crumbs and my own propensity to touch the screen. Anyone have any great tips on how to keep your Macbook spick and span?

Use LCD screen wipes on the entire thing. They’ll actually take off most grime off that your MacBook will come in contact with. I give mine a good scrub once a week and it still looks brand new after almost 2 years.
