MySchool.edu.au launch leads to parent frenzy →
Parents rocked by the My School website have already begun pulling their children out of poorly performing schools.
Look, teachers are just as good as they’ve always been at every school. Take an interest in your child’s education and there won’t be a problem. There is a reason Gen X has so much animosity for Millennials. The girls have their shit together but the males are,...

redneckzilla:
I just referenced Rain Man and my roommate looked at me like I was lying to him or something. And I was like “Rain Man? You know? The iconic Dustin Hoffman movie? Tom Cruise?” And he was like, “What are you talking about?”
I was in awe. Am I wrong in being near offended? Was I stupid to take it for granted that not everybody in the entire world has seen Rain Man?

Well that was quick. Nice prank, Jason. A link on WSJ is probably the best he was going to get.

Calacanis' Tablet specs, a summary.
I’m going to put these all together because it’ll make it easy to do one of two things: Call Jason a bullshit artist, or laugh in the face of Scoble and his acolytes (he’s acting like a pundit who is mad he didn’t get a beta unit).
I’m giving Jason the benefit of the doubt because I really like the dude and as a respected entrepreneur, I think it’d be kind of...
SPOILER. Read Jason Calacanis' last page of tweets...

On TWiT this weekend, everytime he opened his mouth, he bought up a feature that he has confirmed tonight. During the show he brought up a TV Tuner, Wireless external display and Farmville app completely out of the blue - all are apparently big features of the Tablet.
Roger Federer: Most Honest Man in Sports
dangurewitch:
Announcer: Why do you think you match up so well against Lleyton Hewitt? [who he has beaten the last 15 times they played] Roger Federer: Maybe I, obviously, have more raw talent than him.
If you watch the video, he’s really not being a dick. He’s just answering genuinely. It’s always a little uncomfortable to watch, but in a world of politically correct “It could have gone either...

I know I just did a theme redesign last week... →
Andy Taylor just released a test of his ‘CZ Theme’ and I couldn’t resist. I’ve only changed a few minor things, which is remarkable since I usually rip the hell out of a theme when I install it. The borderless photo posts just kill me.
Hadn't heard this one before.
Early last year, the Garda (the Irish police force) finally solved the case of a particular Polish citizen who had, over 2 years, become the most wanted motorist in Ireland.
The offender, Prawo Jazdy, had more than 50 speeding and parking offences but no convictions - due to the fact that he would produce a different drivers licence at the site of each offence. The continued freedom of such a...

Is it really a Triple J Hottest 100 winner spoiler...
The winner usually has some kind of (alt/commercial) crossover appeal right? It’s pretty suspect.
I know, I know. “Curt, you don’t even listen to Triple J, how would you kow what’s popular?” Because I still have musical awareness.
Just because I couldn’t hum you Grizzly Bear’s ‘Two Weeks’, doesn’t make me ignorant of ‘the...
