Pickup/Delivery laundry service. I put a bunch of laundry into a big turquoise bag, a guy picks it up and brings it back the next day, and I have clean clothes for something like $1.20/pound.
This blows my mind. I tell everyone I know about it (most people aren't too impressed). -
Sort of, which is weird because I fancy myself a science geek.

There was less social pressure to pretend that I'm normal (or boring, depending on how you look at it). Also: naptime.

Yes.
I've never put any serious thought into why, but I find them to be a pain in the ass to carry around everywhere. And then when one actually gets wet, I wind up getting water all over my clothes or the floor. I suppose it's possible that I'm just too uncoordinated to wield an umbrella. -
I like Paparazzi better. But you're OK in my book.

I'd probably choose hip-hop over metal, though frankly I'm not a big fan of either.
I do know how to play guitar. Sometimes I wish I'd chosen another instrument — dipshits at college parties have given guitar a bad name. -

There was one a while back involving a really nerdy joke that made me laugh my ass off, but I can't remember it (shit). From a three minute scan through the Best Of section, this one caught my eye:

That's tough. I can't definitively say it's my favorite story of all time, but one of the amazing things I covered recently was YouTube's autocaptioning of all of its videos ( http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/04/youtube-launches-auto-captions-for-all-videos/ )
In short, YouTube is now feeding all of its video content through Google's speech recognition tools, creating a transcript for pretty much anything that gets uploaded. The benefits are twofold: it lets deaf people consume videos they wouldn't have been able to otherwise, and Google can translate these transcriptions. That means these videos can be watched by people around the world, with subtitles in their native tongues.
The story didn't even get much attention — most people would much rather read about the new iPhone. But I think it's pretty amazing that kids scattered across remote regions of the world can watch translated Ivy League lectures, or any of YouTube's other millions of videos. -
I experimented with them when I was younger but tended to favor Play Doh when it came to eating things that were supposedly inedible.

I saw it mentioned in a tweet, and then in a blog post.
