Fake Headline Of The Day: ‘Brain-Dead Teen, Only Capable Of Rolling Eyes And Texting, To Be Euthanized’

February 24, 2012Erik Kain

The Onion has really grabbed the fake news bull by the horns over the past few years. In one short video, they manage to make fun of teenagers, Facebook, our obsession with phones, and get in a bit of a dig at the controversial euthanasia debate. You can watch more fake Onion news here. Follow […]

Hilarious ‘Facebook Parenting’ Spoof

February 17, 2012Erik Kain

This is why I love the internet. Sure, the original sparked a lot of controversy and armchair parenting advice. But now we can forget all about that and pay attention to more important and hilarious things. This is the inevitable arms race that we get when we start shooting one another’s gadgets, I suppose. Violence […]

Star Wars Steampunk On Pinterest

February 7, 2012Erik Kain

This is via the AMC Theatres Pinterest pinboard: Pinterest is really quite clever, by the way, though I’ve only just begun exploring it (if you’ve begun wandering about the site yourself you can follow me here though I have yet to post anything myself.) Will there be room for another social network like Pinterest? Given […]

The SOPA Blackout In One Infograph

January 20, 2012Erik Kain

This is via ProPublica, and it’s a wonder to behold: It’s not a done deal yet, of course, but opponents of SOPA and PIPA at least have the momentum at this point. This may be the first time we’ve seen the power of online grassroots activism combined with beneficent tech corporations but it won’t be […]

Forbes Launches 30 Under 30 Project

December 19, 2011Erik Kain

I’m no longer eligible to make it into the Forbes 30 Under 30 project, which launched today, having just turned 30 this year. Mathew Herper reports that if you’re going to become famous you’re statistically likely to do it by the time you reach 30. I suppose what little scraps of fame I’ve gathered all […]

The Elder Scrolls Skyrim with the Dovahkids

December 2, 2011Erik Kain
