Even funnier art theft. (2005/02/17)
This isn’t, technically, theft. No, I’m sure it’s all very carefully considered, and legal. [read more...]

McDonalds' nutrition charts: Obviously faked numbers (2005/02/16)
This caught my eye, while I was at McDonalds’ today. These numbers were found originally printed on the back of a placemat. The same numbers were provided by a little brochure called “A Full Serving of Nutrition Facts”, and match the information I found on the McDonald’s web page, at http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_controller.nutrition.index1.html.

Distinguishing between vanity publishers and real publishers. (2005/02/10)

Understanding the difference between grape sodas. (2005/01/30)

Hanoi Coding (2005/01/13)
There’s a game, called Towers of Hanoi. The basic idea is that you have a bunch of disks of varying thickness, and with holes in the middle, and you start with them stacked on a central pole, and you move them to another pole.
