The Morris worm or Internet worm of November 2, 1988 was one of the first computer worms distributed via the Internet. It was written by a student at Cornell University, Robert Tappan Morris, and launched on November 2, 1988 from MIT.

I knew the CA drought was awful, but wow.

Truly spectacular dinosaur “taxidermy” reproductions by book-rat on deviantArt. Please do NOT remove source—artists deserve credit for their work!

...Also, what you call luck, I call sheer goddamnedness, and it is awesome. Let’s face it, that’s American as fuck.

They Might Be Giants’ first album, or “pink album,” was a turning point for both the band and for the burgeoning world of indie rock. Performing in downtown NYC clubs, the band had become a fixture on the East Village scene where performance art and music flowed together in a vivid late night club scene. In those earlier years, the band was making recordings for their Dial-A-Song service and their demos were actively passed around town. While the album’s release in late 1986 was met with raves from critics (including the rare “A” rating from the Village Voice’s Robert Christgau), with no major label push or immediate radio interest, it seemed destined to settle comfortably into the Miscellaneous T section within a number of months. All that would change quickly when the band collaborated with video director Adam Bernstein on a series of original clips that would get serious play on MTV…

And but so I ended up watching the first game of the 2014 World Cup with Peter at Google NYC, where there was a big party celebrating the event, complete with ridiculous Mashbooths (http://www.mashbooths.com) photobooth where we could pose for stuff like this.
