Yowza, who knew the power of a tweet on a Friday night? (Thanks Hilary Mason and Kevin Marks)

Or a Hacker News link on Saturday! Holy pageviews Batman!

Are QR Codes the Roller-Skating Horses of Advertising? Well, they certainly entertain me, if that’s what you mean. (via Jodi)

Did you know about the Mull of Kintyre test? Now you do.

That’s Le Web to you! Technically the web was invented in France, not Switzerland, but who’s counting? (via Kottke)

Heh: In Which I Fix My Girlfriend’s Grandparents’ WiFi and Am Hailed as a Conquering Hero.

Great video of Nathan Myhrvold demoing some “modernist cuisine” techniques for mere mortals: Sorcerer’s Apprentice Hosts a Dinner (I totally want to try!)

Ha!

It truly saddens me to see this group of people using creative content that they did not create to further their own political agendas. Here’s to hoping PIPA passes to offer the world some protection from these wicked, wicked people.

Amit Gupta found a match! (previously)

Pocket cams come with GPS now? Canon S100: camera with a GPS (I had no idea)

In the grand tradition of Beard Slap, check out Russell Belfer is a GitHubber (well played)

TSA:

[Safety razors] are making a comeback thanks to the close shave they provide and the extremely affordable price of the replacement blades. It basically unscrews and you can insert a razor blade. Because these razor blades are so easy to take out, safety razors are not permitted in your carry-on luggage with the blade. The blades must be stored in your checked luggage.

United Airlines:

Bag fees apply at any point where bags are checked. $25 first bag, $35 second bag. (Each way!)

West Coast Shaving:

100 safety razor blades = $17.99 (or enough blades to last me about 4 years)

Forget the iPhone, how about an iCamera? Polaroid (they still exist?) dispenses with the phone; produces an Android-powered “smartcam”. Considering how much Stephanie uses the camera+Instagram on her iPhone (versus the actual phone), this makes perfect sense. My only concern: the apps (or lack thereof).

This boggles the mind: Google demotes its own browser from search results after engaging in a paid links campaign

Yes! A Recipe for Simplifying Life: Ditch All the Recipes

This is the Pinewood Derby Car of my dreams (I wonder if there are any old photos of my pinewood derby cars among my parents boxes…?)
