  16. Golden Gums: What’s with the scrollup captioning?
  17. Engadget audio show gets text descriptions right: Does this not indicate the pointlessness of any kind of “audioblogging”? You can’t scan it, it’s a real-time process, it’s a bandwidth hog, people are much better suited to writing than delivering monologues, and, for fuck sakes, you’re not gonna make it accessible. Give it up, willyez?
  18. ♪ in page title

  31. “Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe will compose the soundtrack to the film Battleship Potemkin.”
  32. Winstripe icons (also Back to Winstripe, Stoppage, innumerable others)

  41. Italian rap, which works quite well but tends to sound a bit bright and overzealous
  42. WordPerfect superior to Word: When will the world learn? “Living with Windows is still a purgatory of frustration and abuse, but such things are relative: compared to the alternative, i.e., compared to Word, I would recommend WordPerfect 11 for anyone who needs high-quality WYSIWYG word processing.”

  47. Save Our Sailors. That is, Fight for love and justice. Pretty soldier… Sailor Moon. I picked two Sailor Moon tapes out of a pile at the curb by somebody’s house on garbage day and watched them just to experience what was, at the time, the most expensive captioning imaginable applied to supremely trite overdubbed animé. Besides, didn’t Vince Corazza do some voice work for it?

  49. Mother of God, Julian Cope, the colours!
  50. “TypeWorks is a Web application that is developed by webstandard evangelists [sic] for webstandard users. It will have a level of customer support never seen before on any Web application, a service that equal first-class flights.” Oh?
  51. Validified Fark.
  52. “You’re from California? Why here?”
  53. Mac OS 8 and 9: Compatibility with Macintosh computers. I distinctly remember the names I gave to individual floppy discs on my Mac 128 (Skylab, Toss Across).
  54. “My evil text laughter means I’m obese and I like industrial music.” I also am apt to overuse such turns of phrase as “I for one welcome our giant-eared overlords.”
  55. Safari for Windows (Cf. making Windows look like X)
