Short stories are good when you don’t have much time but want to read something (why welcome, Captain Obvious).
Here are few that I really liked:
Isaac Asimov: The Last Question
Terry Bisson: They’re Made out of Meat
Ambrose Bierce: Moxon’s Master
Edgar Allan Poe: The Pit and the Pendulum
I strongly advise you to read at least the first two.

Reading comics is a very pleasent way of wasting one’s time, therefore, I’d suggest you a few time-wasters that I really enjoy:
Nerd boy is a very geek ascii-art comics created by Joaquim Gandara. It has about 600 strips and is currently stalling. I suggest you to read the strips in order, as they don’t make […]

Next time you get stuck in a traffic jam, please realize that it could have been much worse.
Yeah, I know that this is what most of blogs look like: “hey look I found a link”, but I promise you are going to get a full post tomorrow (no promises about its quality though).

Yet Karl Bushby decided to try it. He started […]

I like the good old dynamic serif typefaces (from 15th-17th century). The most well known is Garamond, which is also my favourite one, together with Pastonchi (which is so unknown it doesn’t even have its wikipedia page, although it’s a very sexy typeface (I especially love opennes of the small letter ‘f’ (see the pic […]

I had to solve another issue at KGS today. Someone was swearing in hebrew (using word benzona) and one user pointed me to Urban dictionary. Well, I searched around a bit (of course) and the one I liked the most is the word fuck. The best description is probably the second one - from Monty […]

Getting them too?
It’s usually someone whose whole family was brutally killed and left several millions (or milliards) dollars. The person is in danger and has to transfer money to a safe place, you are the one to help him - you just have to send some kind of small fee like $80, well, who cares […]
