How Pimp is this Small Assed Ping Pong Ball Apartment?


Snarkitecture – A pied-à-terre as permanent residence, Box/Box is an apartment for Snarkitecture partner Daniel Arsham. A 90 square foot private hideaway contained within a larger 2,500 square foot collaborative workspace, the project was conceived as an accelerated design/build experiment and was completed within a two-month period at a cost of less than $100 per square foot.

How fucking pimp is an apartment above your office that’s 90 square feet and lined with ping pong balls?? This thing cost less than a G to build? I’ll take 3!! You kidding me? Ladder access to a room with a queen sized bed? You’re hired, Mr. Architect – sign me up. It’s not a matter of wanting this – I NEED this. If this was in my office, I’d be up there power napping like a boss all day long. I’d even be able potato sack a sales girl or two in and invite them up. Absolutely no one would be able to refuse this setup. I could probably get Bar Refaeliup there.

I don’t care that it’s only 90 square feet – it would be the perfect place to crash whenever I’m out in the city. You know how much of a pain in the ass it is to get back to the burbs from the city if you’re all the way on the west side or downtown? Train gets in at 1AM, old folks yelling at you because their bedtime is 10PM, sure as SHIT can’t roll back with anyone – what a waste. One phone call: “Welp, stayin in the city tonight” and I’m set. Bring the biddies back, pop champagne, yatta yatta yatta. Good shit. Next day, kick them the hell out, climb back down the ladder and end up right back at work.

Add a flatscreen, laptop/ internet and I’m golden. Heaven.

If the Yankees Signed Carl Pavano, I’d Have Started Rooting for the Fucking Mets


Yankees talked to Carl Pavano? Offered him a year? Are you fucking shitting me? The American IDLE. Guy got paid multi millions to be hurt for 3 seasons straight. Legit pitched like two thirds of an inning before getting carried off the field in a stretcher again. Absolute joke. Then when he finally came back he was good for 6-7 runs per game. Obviously once he left the Yankees, he started tearing it up.

Fuckin A, we should just resign Nick Johnson, Hideki Irabu, Randy Johnson, Kevin Brown and Roger Clemens (post coming back from Texas). We’ll have the All Star joker team.

Thank Christ the Twins took him.


Sometimes…


In honor of MLK Jr. Day and women being assholes, enjoy...

My Host Sucks


We have scheduled the integration of this additional UPS on Monday January 10th, 2011 at 9 AM EST (UTC-5). The integration will be completed within two hours. No down time is expected during this integration because this new system has been already successfully inspected and stress tested by a third party. However, in a worst-case scenario, up to 25% of the servers in our data center may experience a brief loss of power and reboot themselves automatically. We do not expect this to happen, but we are well-prepared in case it does. We have scheduled a special standby response team that will take action as needed to minimize the impact of any problems that arise during this work.

Minimal downtime my ass. 54 minutes of downtime for the ENTIRE datacenter, not just 25% of servers. Plus the server load sucks dick half of the day on my server. Christ. If it wasn’t dirt cheap and I had more than 4 regular visitors, I’d switch it in a heartbeat.
