If you’re a Wired magazine subscriber, you probably got the puzzle issue last month. There was apparently a hidden puzzle that went through the entire issue, on top of the other well more visible puzzles that appeared on the pages throughout the magazine. I haven’t had a chance to look into trying to solve the puzzle, as I just haven’t had the time, but if you’re wanting to spoil it, Wired has posted a walkthrough.

Wolfram Alpha Is Interesting…
…but it won’t kill Google, but it might make a good compliment to it as yet another tool for information junkies.
Mr. Thomas can finally move to The Bahamas and open up a moped lot…
…as it looks like his dealership isn’t going to sell Chryslers anymore (if you don’t get the joke in the headline you’re obviously not local nor listen to local radio).
TS&S still sells Subarus here in Bend (they used to sell Hyundai’s, too, but that’s now a Jim Smolich thing) so they’ll still be around focusing on Subarus — which seem to be really popular around here, so I’m sure they’ll be fine. I’d just have any repair work done somewhere else.
Cascade Winds In Final Concert of The Season
I do this all the time — the cheap plug for the local concerts that I’m a part of. While I don’t know if anybody actually comes to the concerts based on my mentions (I’d like to think that somebody does), you’re still going to have to put up with it. Especially when this concert promises to be such a great show with music for everybody. And it’s free, so what have you got to lose?
For all the details click here or click on that big ol’ banner over on the right side of the page.
Update: As a commenter pointed out, there will be free munchies and drinks during intermission. Always forget about that, as I’m usually on stage prepping for the second half.
This Is So Wrong
Helen Keller is on twitter. And I’m going straight to hell for laughing.
“west philadelphia born and raised on the plane now where i spent most mondays”
What happens when you throw random audio at Google Voice’s transcription service? You get some really funny translations, with my favorite being how it translates The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme, with somebody brilliantly setting it to music (probably the funniest thing I’ve seen on Redit). Howard Beale’s “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take this any more!” rant comes across pretty hilariously, too
Add The Konami Code To Your Web Site
Any old-school NES gamer will know all about the Konami code. Contra and Gradius were both a pain in the butt without the code. Apparently there are a bunch of sites that have easter eggs if you use the Konami Code on the site, and now there’s an easy way to add the cheat code to your site.
I Just Can’t Stop Watching This
Give is a bit to load (what is people’s obession with large GIF files?), but I just don’t know how this guy doesn’t crack his head open (mirrored the image below, should the link go down).
Time Killer For The Evening
Neon Maze is an addicting (and frustrating) but fun little game.
We All Have These Kinds Of Photos At Home
But I don’t think anything I have at home or at my parent’s home is nearly as bad as anything on AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com.
