Nebraska license plate update: CollegeHumor votes disqualified!
May 22, 2009 @ 1:05 pm
Well, it sounded too good to be true, so it’s not. It turns out that the Nebraska government found out about CollegeHumor’s prank to rig votes for the most boring license plate design in Nebraska and has since reversed its decision for what is to be the new Nebraska license plate. The actual new license plate will be the one shown above which is only slightly less boring than the one that won the web vote. Thanks for the tip, Rachel!
CollegeHumor helps Nebraska pick its new license plate
May 19, 2009 @ 7:21 pm
Several weeks ago, Kevin Corrigan posted a link on CollegeHumor asking the site to help ruin a public poll for a new license plate design for the state of Nebraska. He asked users to vote on the lamest and most boring license plate design (shown above). Now, he is being told that that particular design has won and is now the new license plate for the entire state of Nebraska! The new design will hang from 1.2 million Nebraska vehicles starting in 2011. WOW. Never under-estimate the power of the internet. Seriously. It must suck to be Nebraska right now.
The most annoying people in New York City
February 2, 2009 @ 4:16 am
With nothing better to write about, The New York Post has published an article that takes a look at a recent poll from People Who Deserve It that asks New Yorkers to vote for their least favorite type of person.
Reactions to the poll put slow-walking sidewalk blocker at the #1 spot with 29% of the votes. At a close second was self-important bluetooth guy (the guy who talks loudly into the air because he’s on a bluetooth headset on the street) with 24% of the votes. The Post created the image above to break it down for you in case you couldn’t think of the people on your own. However, with only about 2300 people voting, this is in no way an accurate representation of the sentiments of the average New Yorker. I suspect that if more New Yorkers voted, the percentage for slow-walking sidewalk blocker would be a lot higher. I hate slow-walking people.
Celebrating Obama victory in Union Square

This is the video that I shot of the celebration in Union Square last night. The embedded YouTube video might be crap, so go to the YouTube page and watch it in high quality.
It was nuts, just nuts. I’m glad I was there for this. I think I’m going to go outside now and buy every major newspaper for my personal archive.

Patrick Moberg published an illustration today showing just how different today’s election is compared to past elections. It took 232 years, but we’re finally here. Today, we elected the first non-white person into the office of the President of the United States. Simply stated, this is history in the making.
