The Nerd of Thrones!

I'm not sure how many of you watch Game of Thrones.  If you're not watching, I don't know what's wrong with you!  It's like the best show ever!  Well... aside from The Walking Dead, Spartacus, True Blood, Dexter, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and many others, but that's besides the point.

In Game of Thrones everyone wants to sit on the "Throne of Swords".  At the present time, the god-awful teeny-bopper king, Joffrey,  who nobody can stand and want dead, is sitting on this chair.

Well.... here comes the Nerd of Thrones!  LOL, yes, someone made a throne out of computer keyboards.  Quite hilarious, but I'm sure you gamers and computer geeks are eager to make one.

The artist, Mike DeWolfe has released the following statement:

The Throne of Nerds is made in honor of the Throne of Swords from the Game of Thrones TV series and fantasy series. It is constructed from 20+ computer keyboard mounted to a chair. The keyboards and have been shaped and melted to follow the form of the chair, the shape of the user, and to meld together into a combined whole.

The underlying message is one of suffering. The keyboards have been melted and warped. They’re made to twist to fit, but at the same time that renders them unuseable because they cannot fulfill their intended purpose. The keyboards are black and silver, and the underlying chair is white, but those colours have been replaced with black, in whole or in random splotches.

The keyboard warping includes the scorching of almost all of the ESC keys to symbolize how impossible it can be escape suffering and blackness. The only key that is consciously left undamaged is the ESC key on the highest positioned keyboard.

Around the back, the keyboard cables have been arranged like human hair with an attempt to braid the cables that is ultimately left in a tangle. This denotes how good plans and order can degenerate into chaos.

A PC full of filth!

No, get your mind out of the gutter.   

If you've ever owned a computer with a tower, or still own one, you know that the fans on these machines are magnets for dust, pet hair, and whatever else can sneak into it.  

After watching this video, you will know why it's a good idea, to give it a blow once in a while.

Laugh of the Day: Reset Your Password

OMG this is too funny.  How many of you have created passwords over and over, and the computer program doesn't like it?  You start cussing at the website, and when nothing else works, you call customer service.  Then you start an endless argument with them, because the password has to be 15 letters long, include no spaces, no special characters and sound like barbecue.

Well, this short comedy clip will remind you of your experiences.

Things To Do When You Have No Internet

Isn't This The Truth? Welcome Home, Son

If I was to collect a nickle for the number of times my mother asked me to fix something when I went back home, I'd be filthy rich by now.  LOL.  Ryan's mom is the perfect example for this comic.  She's always asking for computer help.  God bless her, we love her.

If The World Were A Village of 100 People: Issue No. 18 - Computers

Wow, I can't believe that I'm almost done with this series.  This is the 18th poster and 18th week out 20 that I've been posting them.

Every week I have been blogging about the posters designed by Toby Ng, where he took statistics based on the spread of the population in the world today and translated those statistics into a town of 100 people.  

So you'd ask yourself, "What if the world were a village of 100 people?" And these posters would answer that question in a much more simpler way.

In my humble opinion I think these posters would be a great educational tool.  Great to share with your kids or a classroom.

OMG Hilarious! - Data Recovery

I discovered a new web-comic today, and I absolutely love it!  It's creator is Justin Boyd, an artist from Australia. 

Here's an excerpt from Justin's "About" page on his website, Invisible Bread:

Hi!  This is Invisible Bread!

This site updates every Tuesday and Thursday with new comics containing infinite amounts of bread that you can’t see.  If you ever see any bread, please let me know because it’s supposed to be invisible.

Today's comic is titled, "Data Recovery"

 

I will post this web-comic from time to time and will categorize it under the same category as Cyanide and Happiness' web-comic.  If  you want to know more about Invisible Bread, check them out after the jump.
