Mustachify Everything
Nov 24th
In case you didn’t know, this month is Moustache November, which isn’t even an alliteration so they have to call it Movember. It’s the less hilariously-named but possibly more socially-conscious version of my favorite month, Moustache May. There’s a group at work to support it, and of course I subscribe to the mailing list.
This week someone sent out a link to something truly amazing: Mustachify.Me. Basically you can give the site the URL to any image and it will find the faces in the picture and add moustaches to them.
Question: Could anything possibly be more awesome than being able to put a moustache on any picture you want?
Answer: Of course. Putting a moustache on every picture would be more awesome.
So, that’s what I spent my day on. I made a little program for your browser that will send every picture you use through Mustachify.Me and show you the mustachified version instead of the boring moustache-free version. I know that there are probably better ways for me to spend my time, but today was holiday, so I think it’s allowed.
Go install it: Mustachify Everything.
PS: After you install it, you might want to go look at your friends’ pictures on Facebook or Google Plus or whatever the new hip site is these days. You’ll be entertained.
A Hidden Lesson in Every Commercial
Jun 5th
I just saw this commercial tonight. Notice the difference between the bad car salesman and the good one. You can watch it multiple times if you need to. This test is open-book.

Did you see the difference? Do you see what TV is teaching us? Moustaches are shifty.
Observations
May 1st
This morning I shaved my beard into a moustache. When I got to work and my boss called me into his office to help him with something, he looked at me a little bit puzzled, and then asked if I’d gotten a haircut. I grinned and said yes. I did, in fact, get a haircut yesterday.
Then Garrett looked up from what he was doing (also helping Jon) and laughed, pointing out that it was Moustache May.
Jon looked at me again, this time noticing the moustache, but still confused as to what was new. “Oh, yeah, you had a full beard yesterday. I knew something was different but I couldn’t figure out what it was.”
This might not be that funny on its own, but I mostly like it because I predicted that exact response last night.
