If you’re tired of watching your favorite TV shows on your small screen computer or laptop, then boy does Google have a solution for you!
But wait, Google! I have a solution for everybody!
It’s simple:
I call it, ‘Get a large screen monitor that plugs into your computer!’
And, I already have all my favorite shows added to one place:
…so I don’t need anything else!
Seriously though. Is all this really necessary?
Don’t try this at home. But if you do, wear goggles and take a YouTube video.
This is why science is awesome.
But seriously. Be careful.

xkcd is a webcomic for the true nerds among us. Sweet, simple, and very internet and math focused, I’m not ashamed to say that I don’t always understand the comic. But I try. Who said you wouldn’t use the math you learned in high school? Cause you’re for sure using it now.
Some of my current favorites:
xkcd updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at xkcd.com (and today’s a particularly fun one!)
I would try ChatRoulette just for the chance to meet this man; if only there weren’t the threat of inappropriate people doing inappropriate things everywhere.
Can’t we all be sweet and clean and funny like this guy? I think ChatRoulette should just be a giant, awesome talent show.
And for those living under a rock (without internet access), ChatRoulette is a site that will automatically connect you with another stranger with a webcam. You can talk with mics or with their “chat” system, and anytime you’re done with a person you can click “Next” to find someone new.
You can find a video here that gives you a great (and artistic) introduction.
The curse of writing about technology is that eventually people will look back at what you wrote and laugh at what you thought was “cutting edge” and “futuristic”.
Lucky for us, the time to laugh is now. Popular Science has teamed with Google to put all of their archived magazines online. You can search by keyword on Popular Science’s website, or browse by month and year on Google Books.
The image above is from the month and year I was born (in the mid eighties). Apparently at this time you could get free Stetsons with chainsaws, and stylish-but-technologically-advanced wristwatches were big. Sweet.
