faster than a speeding bullet

so you know back when google did their unconventional speed tests for the chrome browser (which i’m not personally a fan of, but still prefer it over firefox). opera did one better, and this is why opera will always remain to be the better browser across any platform. if you don’t get it, you really should click on the google speed test to see what the fuss is all about.

memory fault allocation

Engineers have successfully corrected the memory on NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft by resetting a computer bit that had flipped. Reset commands were beamed up to the spacecraft yesterday, Wed., May 19, and engineering data received today confirm that the reset was successful.

in memory of…

Geocities, once the charm of the internets, was shut down last october by yahoo. now in it’s memory, the spirit of geocities lives on. the Geocities-izer does you the enormous favor of transforming your favorite (or least) website into not just a Geocities page, but a really bad Geocities page. oh and good luck enjoying the lame midi files. it’s like a blast from the past.

fabio lanzoni

got an email from a reader today. thought i should refer you to his site. snidely makes some awesome parody book covers. i’m guessing it was in response to a post i did back in ‘05check out  the awesome site here.

water under the bridge

During the climactic men’s hockey game at the end of this winter’s Olympics, Toronto was united by a lot more than enthusiasm for sports. As this graph of the city’s water usage during the game clearly shows, Torontonians were also remarkably synchronized that night in the timing of their trips to the washroom, with massive spikes in water consumption to coincide with each intermission in play and a huge dip in usage following Sidney Crosby’s winning goal. This was almost certainly due to toilets, citywide, flushing, and not flushing, in unison. Bladders were straining together all over Toronto.

Similar graphs showing water usage in Edmonton and Winnipeg have already made the news?but this graph, from Toronto Water, our city’s water-supply agency, is the first evidence specifically in Toronto.
