Search: “ur”

Tomorrow is the World Wide Developer Conference and Steve Jobs will be giving his famous Keynote. Usually the days leading up to the event are filled with rumors on what Apple might be releasing or upgrading etc.. This time though its been very strangely quiet. I couldn’t find a single reliable rumor of anything anywhere. Very strange.. I did find a cool cartoon though at Joy of Tech. Most of you might not get it but Steve Jobs always wears the same clothes during his keynotes, black turtle neck and blue jeans. Here is the cartoon.

I hold 90% of my sneezes but people keep telling me its not good to do so. So I decided to do a quick search on this issue and it turns out holding a sneeze doesn’t inflict physical internal damage. The worse that could happen is I would get an infection.

“Have you ever tried to hold in a sneeze? Here’s why you shouldn’t: A sneeze is your nose’s way of keeping things like dust, pollen and bacteria from being inhaled. These are given the boot by being forced out of your nose at terrific speeds — over 100 mph. If you try to prevent a sneeze by pinching your nose closed or holding your breath, you’re creating tremendous pressure. That pressure can force bacteria from your nose back into your sinus cavities or your ears — and the result could aggravate an underlying infection.”

Update: Tawateeto just commented the following: hey my dads a doctor, i asked him and he said these effects r very rare, the infection is very rare and comes after a very long time, but he says holding it in can bother u for the same reason u wrote, some ppl also think if u open ur eyes while sneezing ur eyes pop out, but thats total crap they just shift in position and u can actually never manage to open ur eyes while sneezing unless ur holding them open its a very strong natural reflex

Turns out Jessica Simpson slept with Bam Margera (Viva La Bam) and Johnny Knoxville (Jackass). I might be able to understand why she slept with Johnny but Bam?!?! [Link]

I was just checking the stats of unex-t.com (my site) and it turns out I was Boing Boinged back in September and I didn’t know about it!! [Link]

Update: I had a headace yesterday night so I couldn’t write a lot. Basically Boing Boing had a post on Anime murals in Montreal. When I was on vacation 2 years ago in Montreal I took a picture of this huge and really detailed mural on this wall. So I emailed them the link and they added it.
