Top Men (via fr0ztz)

It’s Indiana Jones Saturday here at my place. Just finished Raiders, and now it’s time for a philosophical debate over whether Temple of Doom is technically canon.

It’s time to play SPOT THE ERROR!

Are you ready? Alright, then: look carefully at the image above and see if you can find the terrible mistake. Take your time, now…don’t rush…. Okay: think you’ve got the answer? Great! Let’s see how well you do on this simple multiple choice quiz:

Is the error:

(a) an egregious mis-use of an apostrophe, OR

Day 4 of No-Shave Movember. Current upper lip state: about 2mm of stubble.

But see, it’s not about that, you guys. To call what any facial hair amateur (such as myself) grows on their upper lip in one month a quote-unquote “moustache” would be like running the Boston Marathon of Greek urns in a New York minute.

No: it’s all about trying, and failing, and getting better.

Mostly that second one.

Devendra Banhart - Angelika

Then how could you think that God has no friends
if life’s for the living and death for the dead
and love’s in your heart, and hate’s in your head

Devendra makes me lie back and listen. Speakers on, lights off.

Such an eerie yet wonderful song. Give it a play. Or two. Or five.

On back, and forward

High on the list of things that screw with my brain are blogs that use the Next and Previous links wrong. Of course, by “wrong,” I mean “doesn’t sync up with how I want it to work.”

See, here’s how my brain expects things to be: it thinks of a blog as a series of events along a timeline. When I reach the bottom of the page, I’m expecting to see a Back or Previous button, because my brain wants to dig back in the past for more entries. Conversely, in the odd occasion I want to see entries closer to the present, my brain jumps for the Forward or Next button.

But for some reason, most blogs (including many Tumblr themes, by default) just decide to go with Next to view older entries, and Previous to view newer things — which gets annoying, especially when I’m trying to focus on more important things, like, say, reading content.

So, if you think the same way I do, why not take a moment and make your little piece of the Internet a bit more usable? Change that Next link to something more straightforward, like Earlier or Older. While you’re at it, change that Previous link to Newer, or Later.

Your brain will thank you — and so will mine.
