Linkology: The Best of the Internet for 4/8/11
It’s Spring, and you know what that means: sometimes-incoherent preambles here on this blog, especially on Friday when most aren’t looking and I get to use the computer by myself. So here are some random thoughts, in no order whatsoever, hastily blurted forth before I get in trouble:
- I still can’t find an iPad 2. Maybe I will when tablets are busted for being a giant fad and nothing else.
- In a tiny, insignificant act of defiance against our endless winter we’ve got going here in MI, I started up my snowblower a few nights ago and let it run out of gas. I am such a counterculture leader.
- If map applications where the only thing a person could evaluate to choose between iOS and Android, very few iPhones would be sold. In some ways, iOS is looking very dated relative to Android.
- I had a Founders KBS imperial stout the other night, and I found out that it’s one of the rarest and highly-rated beers in the U.S. And yes, it was that good.
