Randall Munroe’s SOPA protest was a seemingly innocuous plea: [don't censor the web.]
Beneath it, however, lies a bit of humor (and no, it’s not in the alt text this time). If you drop the levels to black, a secret message appears. Props to Ipstenu for the find.
WordPress Core Meetup, Tybee Island, GA
After beating ourselves up on the skating rink, we hauled our battered bodies out to grab a drink at Huc-a-Poos (a Tybee staple with a cringe-worthy website). The first order of business was to pay our respects to the Devil Box, a laptop pinned to the wall by a giant nail.
We avoided any developer sacrifice and settled on the back porch. A pitcher of margaritas, a friendly game of ring toss, and a band with a voice made of wheels on gravel. Bruises soothed by buzz and makeshift icepack cups. I grabbed Mark’s camera and began snapping photos.
Upon returning the wonder-machine, Mark turned to me and said,
“You’re a grown up. You have a job with a salary. You play with every camera you see. Buy one already.”
He has a point.
I’m leaning toward the Nikon D7000 with a 35mm f/1.8 DX lens, though the portability (and price) of the Sony NEX 5N is tempting.
Any suggestions?
At least it apologized.
I find that when someone’s taking time to do something right in the present, they’re a perfectionist with no ability to prioritize, whereas when someone took time to do something right in the past, they’re a master artisan of great foresight.— Randall Munroe, “The General Problem”

It was once said that I change my blog’s theme more often than I post. Historically, it’s been more of a one to one ratio.
The new theme is tentatively called Hum. It’s a Twenty Eleven child theme, responsive by nature, and solely consists of CSS modifications. You can view the source here.
Perhaps I should blog a bit more.
