Adobe Flash is the worst….

I always hope my inability to sleep will lead to some level of productiveness. Sadly, it never seems to. Just coffee dependence.

I like the smell of pizza in my car when driving home to eat it. I don’t like it when it lingers, and stills smells the next morning.

Mac OS update released today. Hopefully it’ll fix some of the intermittent AirPort issues…

It’s too hot for W. Washington. Temp. Supposed to climb all week. Nature didn’t get memo: We don’t have a/c in any of our homes!

Music That Makes You Dumb

I don’t know how why I haven’t seen this before.  This guy Virgil Griffith created this website that shows the correlation between your favorite artist or band, and SAT scores.

Here’s how he did it (for those that are curious):

  1. Get a friend of yours to download, using Facebook, the ten most frequent “favorite music” at every college via that college’s Network Statistics page on Facebook (manually — as not to violate Facebook’s ToS). These ten “favorite musics” are perhaps indicative of the overall intellectual milieu of that college.
  2. Download the average SAT/ACT score (from CollegeBoard) for students attending every college.
  3. Presto! We have a correlation between musical tastes and dumbitude (smartitude too)!
    Music <=> Colleges <=> Average SAT Scores
  4. Plot the average SAT of each “favorite music”, discarding those with too few samples to have a reliable average.

Not a good case for being a Lil’ Wayne fan….

This is genius.  It keeps getting funnier the more you commit to watching all of it.
