Scarriest Place on Earth?
Wait…it got scarrier? Disneyland really needs a proofreader (a proffreader?) for their Halloween parking signs.
Either that or they added lots of people in Scar costumes, but the day didn’t bear out that theory.
How Disneyland is Like Comic-Con
We took the kid to Disneyland this weekend. It’s been a few years since I’d been to the park, and with NYCC happening at the same time, I couldn’t help but compare the experience to San Diego Comic-Con.
- It’s expensive to get in, but once you’re there, most of the events are free.
- It’s hideously crowded.
- Everywhere you go, people are stopping for photos with people wearing costumes.
- You spend a lot of time waiting in line. (But at Disneyland, you can usually be sure you’ll get in!)
- Food is overpriced and mediocre, unless you leave and come back.
- You can’t possibly do everything in one visit.
That’s It!
Overheard on the playground:
— Well I’m going to go on the internet!
— Well, I’M going to go on the internet and READ A BOOK!
Lick This Button
Spotted on this Wired article on how iOS7’s new visual style will open up app development by making it easier for new apps to be accepted on the platform.
Yeah, I can see that having to know “how to bounce fake light off of a lickable button” would be a barrier to entry.
Jobs Paranoia
I don’t know about paranoia, but there’s certainly a lot of anxiety about jobs these days…
Fallen Giants
Overheard after an ad for Jobs. A kid asks, “What’s IBM?”
