This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.

Scientists at the University of Montreal would love to compare the views of men in their 20s who had never been exposed to pornography with regular porn watchers. The problem is, they can’t find a man in that age category who has never seen it. “We started our research seeking men in their 20s who had never consumed pornography,” said Professor Simon Louis Lajeunesse. “We couldn’t find any.”
CollegeHumor.com’s goal from their launch in 1999:
What we hope to do is establish a refuge for not only students of all academic levels, but a place for people across the world to go for a laugh. We also plan to feature original comedy from people all over the country.
That guiding vision steered the site’s governance and I’m sure much of CollegeHumor’s success can be attributed to it. Proof of how a strong mission statement is key to good decision making!

Popular Science answers the question of why you don’t like the sound of your recorded voice:
“When you speak, the vocal folds in your throat vibrate, which causes your skin, skull and oral cavities to also vibrate, and we perceive this as sound,” explains Ben Hornsby, a professor of audiology at Vanderbilt University. The vibrations mix with the sound waves traveling from your mouth to your eardrum, giving your voice a quality — generally a deeper, more dignified sound — that no one else hears. Through a loudspeaker or recording device, you pick up sound only through air conduction.
