The Cat Googler

jakehurwitz:

A few weeks ago at work I came back to my computer to find someone had google searched “hot air balloons.” I found this odd, but I ignored it and went about my day. A few hours later I returned to my computer to find the same search. That’s when I asked, “Who searched hot air balloons on my computer?” No one confessed, so slightly confused, I again went about my day. Since then it’s happened almost every day consistently. I’ll come back to my computer after lunch, or a bathroom break or a meeting, to find someone has googled “hot air balloons.” Not even image searched, just a regular search.

I think the growing flustered and frantic reactions to this mystery has only fueled the fire. Now I believe there to be somewhat of a conspiracy going on. Where once it was just one odd (yet clever) individual, now it seems to be a whole slew of people who are out to get me.

I think one of the main reasons this is so upsetting to me is because I really wish I had thought of it. It’s so subtle, so infuriating, so genius. I hate being the victim of a prank I want to be playing. This video posted to Vimeo today shows how this prank is escalating. Twice today hot air balloons have become the background of my computer.

So Mystery Hot Air Balloon Googler, whoever you are, good work. I hate you. But good work.

Yatta Explains How Copy+Paste Was Invented

yatta: i need to look up my old blog posts
yatta: b/c i used to type them into my blog.
yatta: a long time ago
ellie: you would TYPE them?
ellie: you're not that old before copy and paste was invented
yatta: copy and paste was invented in 2005
yatta: don't make fun. back then, all we had was 'copy'
yatta: we would copy shit but not have anything we could do with it
yatta: it'd take up all 256MB of our RAM
yatta: we'd sit there and think, daymn. what am i gonna do with all of that shit I just copied.
yatta: and then one day, a man by the name Lucious Paste invented a technique we all came to call 'Pasteogramy'
yatta: or 'Paste' for short.
yatta: thus, 'pasting' was born
yatta: but it wasn't until a patent dispute between Marcielo Copy and Lucious Paste was settled for the sum of $500 and a chicken that 'copy' and 'paste' could be combined into a single action.
yatta: Hence the 'copy and paste' we all take for granted.
ellie: ....
ellie: your kids are going to be really bored one day.

“ Naked Sheetz patron charged with assaulting another SHIPPENSBURG — Tuesday, July 8 — Shippensburg Police charged a 21 year-old man with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness and other violations early Tuesday morning after he allegedly went naked into a convenience store, stole food and harassed a female customer. Brett Tyler Schatte, 21, of the 300 block of East Burd Street in Shippensburg was found by police as he was trying to get into his house and did not have the key. Officers had been called out at 2:49 a.m. Tuesday to check the area around the Sheetz store for a man who was naked and last seen heading north on North Queen Street. Police investigation showed that Shatte entered Sheetz naked and took food items off the shelves and began consuming them. A female patron was standing at the counter and Schatte walked up behind her, lifted her shirt and attempted to pull down her shorts. Schatte left the store without paying for the items consumed. While outside he grabbed a gallon jug of windshield washer fluid and threw it, damaging the jug. Schatte was charged with indecent exposure, disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, retail theft and harassment. He was taken into custody and transported to the Carlisle Booking Center. Bail was set at $2,500. „

Notice she’s sitting on a towel waiting for us to blow up the pool. Because she doesn’t like to step in grass with her bare feet. I think this is a situation when someone might use the word PRINCESS as an insult. (via Lazy afternoon | dooce ®
