Links
Let's be honest here: I ain't the greatest source of, well, anything really. I'm standing on the shoulders of giants, and below you will find some of those giants. Whether they be educational or entertaining, they've all inspired me enough to not be lazy and link to them here. These are the twenty five latest links.
- squarehappy on Ladies and gentlemen...David Bowie
- Anyone ever notice how much [Cokie Roberts](http://www.nextreads.com/uploadedimages/000065/Cokie%20Roberts%20Photo%20(c\)%20Lynn%20Goldsmith.jpg) looks like Bowie?

- squarehappy on Hey Reddit. My friend works for a company that is being paid by GOP Allies to post and upvote stories like this so that you'll be disillusioned and won't support the Dems. Just thought you should have all facts. (Please note that I'll proba
- I understand that. Still we have to put this into perspective. Pelosi's silence just doesn't compare to masterminding and justifying torture. Prosecute the whole lot of 'em, but what's going on now is theatre and shows once again our inability to prioritize the problems. We're parasites jumping from scandal to scandal, never addressing the root issue.

- Your comment perfectly sums up what pisses me off about the Pelosi/torture shitstorm. It's as if Pelosi ordered the waterboarding to happen herself. Bush and Cheney haven't taken any flak since they left office.

- squarehappy on Yep, that just about sums it up. [PIC]
- That's a good quote but what does it have to do with the comment you're replying to?

- squarehappy on Funnies Vanity Plates Of All Time
- I once saw a license plate on a Hummer that said "1 MPG".

- squarehappy on Ever since I was a little kid I dreamed of being an oppresive dictator. What games are best for this?
- Long term plan here. Build a small shed outside the house. Have a baby. Put the baby to bed in the shed. Put largest stereo system you can afford in the shed. Tune to rock station. Exit parent. Remove the door. Watch child services frantically circle the shed in attempt to extract the baby. I stopped playing after that because I was pretty sure nothing else I could do would top that one.

- Don't forget to reticulate the splines.

- squarehappy on Cujo - The Brazilianaire [trip-hop]
- This is the brilliant Amon Tobin by the way.
- [05.22.2009]
- squarehappy on I miss wing commander. What ever happened to the Space Combat genre?
- Are there any good single player mods for this? I just beat the campaign in Freelancer and while I loved it up to that point, now there's just not much to do. Take missions in the bar for nickels or trade runs to buy shit I don't need for my already overpowered ship. This game could really use some side missions that are more than kill everyone, or kill everyone and tractor beam the VIP's escape pod.

- squarehappy on Rihanna's PC hacked; nude pics leaked (best week in r&b history)
- I think GP is saying the pics with Rihanna's face are real but the nude pics are of some other girl. The first five lines of the JPGs for both a face and nude image match up when you open them in a text editor, if that means anything.

- squarehappy on Backflip Kid WIN
- If that kid had run under any of her other backflips, this would have not ended so well. Though he would have learned his lesson.
- [05.22.2009]
- squarehappy on The Bible says fetuses don't count as people
- Didn't God just smite Judah's sons for far lesser crimes? At least the spilling of the seed, who knows what "being wicked" means. At least God is inconsistent then, which I would think would not jive with popular Christian opinion of him.

- squarehappy on Amanda Peet destroys Jenny McCarthy's anti vaccine propaganda on ABC News.
- Nah, I'd still be stuck in the slow lane.

- squarehappy on 12 Web Design Sites Worth Bookmarking
- We used to call these directories back in the day. And they still go out of date just as fast.
- [05.22.2009]
- squarehappy on I'm through with Reddit...The tone of the whole site has shifted from curiosity and exploration to venomous attacks on any deviation from the Reddit orthodoxy, which has now become locked down on every issue. It's like Fox news for geeks.
- It's probably best to ignore up/downvotes altogether but I can't help but be a bit annoyed when I see a thoughtful, multi-sentence comment that actually adds to the discussion sitting at 1 point, and the reply pointing out that "there" is supposed to be "their" is at 20 points. When I write anything, I'll be playing it back in my head and dictating it with my fingers, so homonyms can trip me up. Doesn't mean I don't understand the difference between there/their/they're. But it's also Reddit's tendency to upvote (and by extension, mostly just scan for) one liners.

- For people who weren't already aware that the story is a work of fiction.

- squarehappy on Bands that disappoint like crazy live.
- Dude that is not a fair comparison. Is it some sort of street cred thing to play faster than anyone else in metal? They freely admitted it and their fans still follow them. Problem solved. If I make a beat using drum samples I'll probably tweak the tempo to get the feel I want from it. I've cheated far more than Dragonforce since I can't even play the drums. And yet plenty of contemporary artists do the same thing. Composing the melody takes a lot more creative talent than actually playing the instrument, something a robot could do. It still comes back to bite Dragonforce in the ass since they can't replicate the tempo live.

- squarehappy on Dear /r/gaming: D&D 4e has these enemies called minions which always have only 1 HP so you can slaughter dozens of then right from the start. Do you know of any videogames where the enemies are all 1-hit kills, but are in large numbers?
- I'm talking those little baby Flood pods that pop in one hit. Oh, and another suggestion for OP would be Smash TV.

- The Flood in Halo. I don't know if that's exactly what you're looking for but this is a weird question to begin with.

- squarehappy on Guitar Hero Greatest Hits Polling Result, Round Three
- They really know how to sell the same songs again and again.

- squarehappy on /r/web_design is great, but what other sources do you use for web design and development news and/or discussion?
- [Sitepoint](http://sitepoint.com) has very active forums and the users are quite helpful. They have lots of contests and challenges to test your mettle too.

- Thanks for skipping the "whoosh" and just telling me how I'm a dope.

- squarehappy on I want honest feedback on my web development company website and I generally trust the reddit community more than any other.
- The first thing I thought when I saw your site was "Kubrick", the infamous Wordpress theme. The headers for the three columns (e.g. Practical, Beautiful Designs) on the main page could use a hint of drop shadow to give the impression that they're wrapping around the box and give the site some more depth. Not a fan of the contact button. It contrasts too much with the rest of the menu. I'd take it out of the menu altogether and give it its own real estate. Also, it not being centered in the green pill is bugging me, but that's a personal taste. The Clean Energy thumbnail in the MacBook is blurry and hard on the eyes. Some of my other nitpicks you fixed while I was writing this. I agree your site could use some more vibrance but it's looking good so far.
