Find the Face in the Beans Photo Revealed
As a follow-up to the two “Find the Cat” photos posted (here and here), I thought it would be fun to continue with another similar photo, this one asking viewers to find the face in the coffee beans. According to a commenter on this post, the photo was created around 2001 for a college Photoshop class. Since then it has taken on a life of its own and has appeared all over the internet and … Read entire article »

Find the Cat in this Photo Revealed
In the third version of the “Find the Cat in this Picture” photo, we are shown a field of dead grass with a rocky path behind it. We’re told that a cat is in the photo, but it isn’t easy to spot. In fact, I’ve seen “answers” for this one that weren’t even correct. The problem is that the cat is almost the same color as the background behind it. So let’s take a look … Read entire article »

Find the Cat in the Garbage Facebook Picture Revealed

Simple Trick For Deceptive Ads
The Gods at Adblade and Pulse360 have no scruples in what swill they push through their ad networks. Full of fly-by-night affiliates marketers offering “free trials” of whatever this week’s “hot” product is, they’ll take any advertising with a dollar behind it. A couple years ago it was the acai berry, then government grants, wrinkle creams, stretch mark removers, teeth whitening products, and on and on. Lately it has been African mango, car insurance, and … Read entire article »
How to Make a Two-Column Layout in Google Documents
Google documents (we’re talking about documents, not spreadsheets) don’t allow for two-column formatting, but there is a relatively simple workaround using tables. It’s a bit of trial and error if you’re looking for a perfect layout. But for simple things such as printing a poem or lyrics on a single sheet of paper, this workaround is extremely easy. Create a new document and paste or type the text you’d like to use. At the end, hit the … Read entire article »

How to Show the Facebook Ticker
Yes, I know, everyone hates the Facebook ticker. Well, not everyone. A friend asked if I could help figure out how to show the Facebook ticker on her account. Googling it only seems to show anti-ticker and “how to remove” it posts. So after digging around and checking a few friends accounts, the conclusion is: having less than 100 friends is the most likely reason you aren’t seeing the ticker. There is no option to … Read entire article »

MSNBC and Pulse360: Advertising Collusion
The question as I sit down to write this is just how much I want to pick this stuff apart. I’ve already had my tirade about Pulse360. It never ceases to amaze me how legitimate news sites such as FoxNews and MSNBC (yes, you can debate their quality, but they are considered legitimate) continue to use junk-pushing third-party advertising providers such as Pulse360 and AdBlade. Today I’m going to focus on the MSNBC-Pulse360 tandem and a … Read entire article »
Abused Child Lipstick Story: Good Message, Fake Story
A photo has been passed around lately of a little girl with a mangled face and a pacifier in her mouth. The attached caption is a heart-wrenching story of a girl who was killed by her mother as punishment for getting lipstick on the bed sheets in what was meant as an act of love. One incarnation of said caption is: This is a sad story, this little poor child, told her mother: “Mom, I painted … Read entire article »
Despite Charges, Cain Continues GOP Social Media Domination
As Herman Cain’s campaign enters its second week of damage control regarding sexual harassment charges, his dominance in social media over his GOP rivals continues to grow.
