Matt is a Slacker

So at first I was like "damn, I don't have an idea for the last post of the month on YNTE."

Then I was like "damn, I didn't post pictures on any of my blog posts this month."

I'll make it up to you all with a corgi being adorable.

And then Evan's future wallet became slightly lighter.

Things I learned that the internet hates

So I've been using these internets for some time now, and I've come to find that there are very specific things that the internet hates on, sometimes deservingly and sometimes not so much. Three things I know the internet hates the most right now:

-Nickelback

-Jeff Dunham

-3D Movies

Nickelback had at least a few songs that I remember not hating, Jeff Dunham is more talented at comedy than many the people ripping on him will ever be, and when done right 3D movies enhance/augment rather than be the focus. I'm sure there are worse things in the world, like actually terrible bands, people who aren't funny at all, and claymation.

Now, the internet also hates the RIAA/MPAA and DRM, which is justified. As long as they don't start hating people making and/or eating weird foods, I think we'll be good.

Worse than Far Cry?

So, I didn't get a chance to watch Far Cry this month. (Sorry Evan)

So instead I present to you Internet: The Movie, something that may be equally bad or much, much worse! Or more entertaining, depending on how much alcohol and drugs have been consumed. In any case, aliens are about to teach you how to use Netscape Navigator.

Also, in light of the fact that February is only 28 days, Tom won't be able to get his full amount this month.

The internet is doomed.

Earlier today, we had a runaway hit of a post that went viral within a few hours, getting unbelievable pageviews and hundreds of retweets and comments.

The trouble was, it wasn't because of the post's content. Due to some interesting SEO magic, the post was one of the first search results for the term "Facebook login." As a result, hundreds of confused readers bombed us with angry comments about how much they hated the "new Facebook," a.k.a. our Facebook Connect comment login.

There are people on the internet who, when attempting to get to facebook, google "facebook login", click on a news result, scroll past the banner and content of another site to get to a comment posting page, and then post angry comments because they think it will take them to facebook.

There are people who actually thought typing "I WANT THE OLD FAFEBOOK BACK THIS SHIT IS WACK!!!!!", "LIKED THE OLD FACEBOOK SING IN.............", or "OK can I long in now", it would take them to facebook. And these same people loudly and repeatedly decried the "new facebook" because they could not even imagine that they were doing something wrong.

These are the people using the internet. These are the people web designers (like myself) need to take into account when designing webpages. I have lost all hope for the internet.

Do we really need to eat that much anymore?

It's obvious that we don't say "You need to eat" enough on this blog, since the dominating word on this word art thinger is "Pdrepper." >_> (Click on it by the way to find a larger version)

It was created by something that takes a lot of words from the front page of a site and in the comments and makes the most frequently used words really big. Prdrepper being the biggest. Only reaffirming Evan's belief that Pdrepper is really spelled like that on the can.
