Code, Nerdyness, and Nonsense

WordPress

Many of you may know that I’m a HUGE fan of Wordpress.  I build every single site I create based on the Wordpress engine, even if they are not blogs (ie FreshApps).

With the success of the Apple App Store, it seems that everyone is wanting  a piece of the pie.

Amazon is now looking to throw their hat into the ring and is releasing their own dev kit for their ever so popular Kindle.

It appears that big name game developers Electronic Arts is also getting involved (WTH?!?!)

This just seems like it will be an epic fail.  Who really wants to play video games on their Kindle?  Maybe they can port Kirby’s Dreamland from the original Game Boy :) .

I was at Wally-World the other day getting a movie from RedBox with my wife when I noticed some guy enter in a code into the machine.  The code was BREAKROOM.  After watching him for a moment, I realized this code entitled him a free DVD rental.

Recently TopCoder.com posted a list of algorithm tutorials from some of their “top coders”.

The tutorials are very comprehensive and pretty much sum my undergraduate computer science degree up in one page :)

I was a big fan of the game Alice that came out for PC. It def portrayed AIW as a darker sort of movie. It looks like Tim Burton will add a similar twist to the latest Alice In Wonderland Movie. Check out the trailer above.

After seeing the show Parks and Recreation last night, I have come to the conclusion that the show is doomed to fail.  Not only is it not funny, it’s jokes try to mimic the dry awkward humor of The Office. Parks and Recreation Fail!

Seems to show up way too much.

Ok, so I am sure you have seen this video by now, but I just had to post it because it’s flippin hilarious.
This perfectly describes mine (and others) Twitter obsession. Kinda sad actually.

I depend on Google way too much for spell checking, simple math, and looking up things I don’t know off the top of my head.
It’s sad because often my first instinct when handwriting something or even looking for a lost object in my house is to “Google it”.
