Let's Talk Tech
I love OK GO. They produce some of the most inventive music videos in an age where the traditional music video has become passé.
Their latest outing is no exception, and the video they’ve cut for Writing’s on the Wall explores many of our favorite optical illusions. Doesn’t hurt that I also really like the song. Enjoy!

It’s not like he built his career on trying to be a wordsmith or anything…
This is just funny.
Occasionally things bork. Happens to all gadgets. It’s frustrating, but you find some support and you get the problem fixed. For those times when your shiny brand new Surface tablet wont turn on, Microsoft has some helpful advice.
If your Surface RT or Surface 2 won’t turn on, here are several steps you can take to pin point the cause and fix the problem.
Before you begin
***Step 1: Unplug the Surface power cord from the electrical outlet, and if you have any of the following remove or disconnect them from Surface:
- Power supply
- Surface Cover
- microSD card
- USB devices such as printers, keyboards, or mice
- Video or audio cables or adapters
***Step 2: Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and tap Settings.
***Step 3: Tap Power, and then tap Shutdown.
***Step 4: Next, make a few preliminary checks:Is the electrical outlet you’re using to charge your Surface working properly?
Try plugging something else into the outlet and see if it works.
Are conditions right for recharging?
It’s best to charge your battery near room temperature. Surface is designed to work between 32° and 95°Fahrenheit (0° and 35° Celsius).
Are the magnetic charging connectors clean and free of damage?
Wait what… Rewind that…
It doesn’t look like Microsoft really thought out steps two and three there…
I love things like this, subtly warping reality for a person in a fun way. Acknowledging something specific about what they do, which other folks might not be aware of, and using that thing to get a laugh or a smile.
Apparently New York Subway Conductors have to point at special signs at every stop they make. So how might they respond if you added something funny to those sign?
I read through this online customer service chat exchange, jaw dropped.
Why is it I NEVER get THIS guy whenever I have a problem with something and have to resort to an online chat?
This dude at Netflix is amazing, and he totally deserves a raise.
No lie.
God speed Captain Mike!
Happy Friday.
Enjoy (I posted the pic of the exchange after the jump).

I’ve been on sets where you’re bored, waiting for a new setup or a camera and lighting change, and maybe you get a bit goofy. Maybe you wanna listen to some tunes. Maybe you want to share those tunes, but you only brought your iPad. Well if you’re Arnold Schwarzenegger, a little limitation like not having a speaker dock isn’t going to hold you back. You’re going to get creative and crush that problem.
You can always count on Louis C.K. to have a “unique” perspective on modern society. On the Conan O’Brien he takes a couple minutes to skewer smartphone usage. There’s a little NSFW language on this one folks. So maybe watch it on your phone instead of your work computer… It’s what Louis would want you to do…
