Behind the LOLcat: Schrodinger’s LOLcat | Geek Friendly A few days ago, I was listening to a podcast lecture on the basics of quantum cryptography when I got into a discussion about the nitty-gritty of the subject with my friend Justin . … dantekgeek: exponential on a regular computer, but reasonable time on a quantum computer, right? justinwick: Right right justinwick: assuming ur in ur quantum computerz, giving them enuff qbitz dantekgeek: hahahaha justinwick: justinwick: schrodinger’s lolcat … I quickly searched flickr for a suitable image, and came across Kevin Steele’s fantastic “a box for every cat.” Some quick work in Skitch , and Schrodinger’s lolcat was born. I figured my circle of friends would get a kick out of it, and that maybe it would be picked up by BoingBoing, but could never have predicted the amount of exposure my little creation has received. Others had the idea long before I came across it, but for whatever reason, it was my LOLcat which gets all the glory.

Bubble trouble Every day I faced off against lackluster tresses, while two friends of mine couldn’t stop raving about their own glossy, sexy hair. They had recently stopped shampooing — just went cold turkey — and the results were marvelous. Both are decidedly un-crunchy, so I knew they weren’t making some hippieish statement about evil soap conglomerates or shampoo pollution in our waterways; this no-suds policy, I reasoned, must actually be good for hair. What did I have to lose? Seven months later, my hair has never looked better. The problem with shampoo is that most of it contains sodium lauryl or laureth sulfate as a foaming agent. Bahman Karimzadeh, a Los Angeles stylist and staunch anti-shampooist, advocates a more DIY approach to conditioning. Admittedly, when I first got off shampoo there was a funk factor. That’s when I contacted Karimzadeh, who counseled “shampooing” with conditioner once a week. And so here I am. After it dried, I admired the shine in the mirror, but something was off.
