We all love The Onion, right? It’s the best news right after Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert.
We also all love Boulder. Those of us that live here love making fun of ourselves and our town because, well, there’s a lot to make fun of.
The Prairie Dog is Boulder’s home grown version of The Onion. And it is hilarious. Some sample headlines follow:
- Oklahoma lashes out, accuses Colorado of being “anorexic”
- Republican spotted on Pearl street, children alerted
- Local venture capitalist raises alarm when magic 8 ball goes missing from desk
- After years of derision, gluten declares intolerance for Boulder
You get the idea. The posts are still short but artfully (and sharply) worded. I love it. Thanks @djilk for the tip.
And where’s my fucking magic 8 ball – who took it? Give it back please.
After my Schoolhouse Rock posting on how a bill becomes a law, several people sent me alternative versions of the video. This one rang true to me.
This one – not so much – but it made me laugh out loud.
And then there’s this.
Terry Kawaja of Luma Partners created today’s hilarious XtraNormal to help us understand what is going on at ad:tech.
We got tired of Google having all the fun so we put up a new drawing of us on the Foundry Group home page.
Google also did a nice job with the Mystery Machine in the background.

I went on vacation for a few days to celebrate Amy’s birthday and those sneaky scarf makers at Big Red Scarves expose me on the Internets.
I’ve been trying for months to discover their secrets to no avail. I’ve even had Amy take up knitting to try to figure it out.
But now I know. It’s Trada. The real secret is out – Big Red Scarves has been using Trada for their search engine marketing campaigns. I should have been able to figure it out from the previous videos on the Internets staring Niel Robertson and Seth Levine, but I guess I missed them because I was too busy sheering sheep and cleaning off my sneakers.
I’m not done with them yet – just you wait. Bwahahahahahahahaha.

Last week there was a kerfuffle over Standing Cloud’s use of the Papyrus font for their logo. It was kind of cute and endearing and my pals at Standing Cloud reacted with appropriate contrition over offending the font police.
Today I came across a brilliant McSweeney article (thanks to @daveschappell) on Comic Sans titled I’m Comic Sans, Asshole. My wife Amy is sitting next to me as I type this laughing her ass off. As a special bonus, our friend Comic Sans makes fun of Bauhaus and then goes and parties with Papyrus.
