Interesting Things

Yesterday was gorgeous.

Today looks like it is going to be just as beautiful.

Everything Geeky!
Did you know that the first Geek Pride Festival was held in Albany? No, I did not either. Why did we let it die? Why didn't WAMC continue with the support of it? Could All Over Albany be the new media supporter of such a great event? I came upon this information, by the way, when I was searching for information about geek pride generally. I mean every other non self selecting group has advocacy days and their contributions to culture are lauded with obnoxious stunts and petty bullying (just kidding...you are not bullying me at all because under-represented groups can never...nevermind)as well as parades! I want a f***ing parade! Anyway, fellow geeks, let's make this happen! (And stop calling it Towel Day, for the love of all that is Holy!)

WiFi Lightbulbs! Yes, I need WiFi lightbulbs.(Gizmodo)

And as it is to be expected, most companies are not going to make the switch to Windows 8. (Mashable)

Hot Sauce is a Food
From Deadspin: What To Eat With The Best Hot Sauce In The World: A Guide For People Who Aren’t Anti-Sriracha Bores. From the article: "Here's what sets sriracha apart from what's typically sold as hot sauce (apart from the fact that you have to walk over to the "Asian" aisle at your supermarket to find it): it is an actual sauce, thick and rich and opaque, as opposed to flavorful vinegar; and it tastes, vividly and brightly and damn near erotically, of red chilis. Both of these distinctions arise from the fact that sriracha is actually made of pureed chilis, rather than simply infused with them."

Television
There is an Arrested Development Documentary? There is an Arrested Development Documentary. Here is the trailer...(Gizmodo)

In other Arrested Development news, there will be no "Call Me Maeby" jokes in the new season. (Vulture)

Oh, and for those of you who still love SNL, Louis CK will be hosting on November 3rd.(Vulture)

File Under Zealots are ALWAYS BORING:
Toxic Atheism Drives People Apart. Think about that scold who is never willing to listen to anyone when they speak about faith and their rants about the sheep and such. They are awful people. (Salon)

File Under BribeStrong:
Lance Armstrong also bribes people. I am looking forward to the day when we discover the Lance Armstrong killed Jon-Benet.

I love this e-card from someecards.com.
