Text Adventures (probably NSFW)
Probably NSFW, but if you played any form of text adventures back in the day (Zork, MUDs, etc—my game was TeleArena) and you don’t mind a little lowbrow humor, then this video just might be up your alley.

“Using Prompt Commands” May Be a Sign of Criminal Activity
“Using Prompt Commands” May Be a Sign of Criminal Activity
Call me crazy, but I don’t think that A. Boston College has its own operating system and B. “a black screen with white font which he uses prompt commands on” is one either.
“He had a … thingy … and I didn’t know what it was … so it must be bad!”
I hope the next computer tech that gets called out to the BC Police Station to fix a broken machine isn’t too good at their job, otherwise they’ll be arrested.
(Okay, I’m done blabberanting.)

Cereal & Milk (but not all at once)
image from www.eatmecrunchy.com
The eatmecrunchy cereal bowl will keep your cereal crunchier for longer. 70% of us prefer our cereal to be crunchy and now that’s possible.
This changes my entire relationship with cereal. (Which still burns with the white hot flame of passion. Have you had Cascadian Farm’s Raisin Bran? Sometimes the simplest things, executed beautifully, are all you need.)

The H1 debate
I’ve always used H1 for the logo of the site and not the header of the specific page, although I am apparently in the minority. I’ve thought of it as declaring ownership—this page is owned by H1—which I know goes against the intent of the element.
It does look nicer when CSS is turned off for the name of the site-at-large to be, well, large. (and in charge.)
