Come to the dark side - We have memes

It has been 30 years since the release of Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece , "Pulp Fiction." As a movie nerd who saw it in the cinema without knowing what it was (my friends and I wanted to see another movie, but there were no tickets left, so we ‘settled’ on this unknown movie), I can tell you it was no less than a religious experience for me. I came out of the movie theater a changed man. I just sat there during the entire movie thinking, “THIS! Movies can be THIS!” There was nothing like "Pul…

Memes that are scientifically proven to induce giggles

Not to diminish George Lucas's influence on modern cinema, but I truly believe that without the people around him, we would have lived in a totally different world—one where “ Star Wars ” was just a forgotten, cheesy, and pretty bad B-movie. If it wasn't for Marcia Lucas stepping in at the last second to re-edit the entire movie, without John Williams elevating every moment to crazy heights, and without the charisma and talent of Harrison, Mark, and Carrie , this movie would have never gotten o…

What is it about cheese that I love so much? How come cheese has such a hold over me? It can be creamy, gooey, crumbly , or sometimes even runny—I don't care, I want it! It can be mild, sharp, or even stinky, smelly, and pungent, and I will still crave it all day long. I don't care what color it is—white, yellow, orange, or even blue or green—cheese is cheese, and I friggin' love it! I don't care if I eat it on a piece of bread, a cracker, a wooden board, or even straight out of the fridge at 3…

A very old fellow indeed

We get it, you don't like AI, you don't trust it, and you think it's an abomination . Really, we get it. However, we are also old enough to remember when people said the same thing about electronic music and even about Photoshop—it's soulless, it's evil, it's technology gone amok, it's taking work from the creative people who have been honing their craft for years. Again, we get you - and we respectfully disagree. AI is a tool, and like any tool in the history of humankind it can be used for go…

I wonder how many signs I see on an average day. They are everywhere! From giant billboards telling me what I should buy to tiny leaflets asking me if I want guitar lessons to just plain, boring signs telling me to slow down or where the exit is located. We don't really think about it, but I bet we read the equivalent of an average book chapter just while walking down the street. But every now and then, we come across a sign that just makes us stop in our tracks. A sign so baffling, all we can…

Memes that are scientifically proven to induce giggles

No one will ever experience watching " The Matrix " the same way my friends and I (and everyone else) did back in 1999. It was a complete revelation then, and I'm not just talking about the plot twists or special effects. I mean the very concept of the Matrix—the idea of people living in a simulated reality, the notion that the world around us might not be real. These concepts weren't part of the conversation yet. Today, people use expressions like “ escaping the Matrix ” or “taking the red pil…
