History of the user agent string

By akie

If you’re developing a website, or a web application, you sometimes need to know which web browser you’re dealing with. So how do you know?

That’s what the user agent string is for, but it has become a complete mess, as described in this hilarious article.

Mindfuck movies

By akie

Matthew Baldwin has compiled this list of movies that mess with your mind. I’ve watched a few (The Game, Cube and Memento) and thoroughly enjoyed them, so I guess I will (sooner or later) watch the rest of the movies on this list as well.

Cursing Obama

By akie

This is brilliant:

Ray, a fellow classmate of Obama’s, was also bi-racial, and also trying to define himself. But what set him apart was his colorful manner of self-expression. Ray cursed like a motherfucker.

This would all be snickerworthy enough, but it turns out that Obama actually read the audiobook version of Dreams For My Father.

And that means he read Ray’s quotes.

And that means you’re about to hear the President of United States using language that would finish Cheney off once and for all.

Guitar Hero on the NES

By akie

Someone made a version of Guitar Hero for the NES, that includes this kick-ass remake of Guns n’ Roses “Sweet Child of Mine”:

It was made by YouTube user notube4me who has also done NES versions of Daft Punk’s “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” and Michael Jackson’s “The way you make me feel”. Make sure to check out his profile page for more 8-bit retro coolness.
