Introducing: A Very, VERY Bad Idea.

IPABI: "It's Probably A Bad Idea."

#IPABI is meta because it's a bad idea (probably) about bad ideas (probably - vote on them to find out if they are actually bad!).

Hi Friends and Family,

I am writing you to tell you about a fun website I have just launched. It is called IPABI.com which stands for Its Probably A Bad Idea. It is a site for doing exactly what you would think, sharing bad ideas. Every bad idea begins with IPABI. For example....IPABI to assume that he knew he was adopted. There are many categories to choose from ranging from Relationships to In the News. My hope is that many people will use the site and get some good laughs from it. The ideal user joins the site, reads bad ideas and votes on them and shares their own.

I would really appreciate you taking the time to look at the website, vote and maybe submit some bad ideas or join the site.

If you are extra motivated you can follow IPABI on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/IPABIdotcom or like it on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ipabi-Its-Probably-A-Bad-Idea/106535922773825?ref=ts

I'm hoping this can catch on so if you have the time spread the word to your friends and become active with it I would really appreciate it. And of course I would love to hear your feedback.

Thank you so much!

Go Team!

Alex

PS Sorry to those who may be offended by any bad ideas....that means you Mom!

The meta-cokebottle

Here's the weekend blog, folks - I'll be gone for two days. Story below brought to you by Richard Lyon, father and meta-nerd.... * My first exposure to meta, besides meta-physics, which I took to mean religion, and therefore not nearly as interesting as physics, was the meta key on keyboards at the MIT AI Artificial Intelligence lab in the late 1970s. They had invented this moby text editor called "emacs" (according to its radical inventor rms, NOT named for the nearby Boston ice-cream shop, Emack & Bolio's , which was named for a couple of homeless guys , even if the text justifier "bolio" was so named). Emacs used what we call "control" or "modifier" keys to control its actions; but "ctrl" was not enough--no, they also had super, meta , and hyper, not to mention front, shift, and top on their space-cadet keyboards . Typical long-form commands were like "meta-x query replace"; here the text "qu...

UPDATED: A tattoo of Tattoo!

This is a tattoo of Tattoo, Mr. Roarke's midget assistant from the show Fantasy Island . Played by Herve Villechaize. No, I had never heard of Tattoo either. It's probably a generational thing. I've included a video of the real Tattoo, for reference. See below.. AWESOME UPDATE!!** The fellow whose arm this is commented below, sharing his story about the tattoo with the world. Thanks Joey! Joey said... "That's my arm you got up there =). The story behind this is my dad asked me why I get tattoos. I told him because I love art. I asked him if he would ever get one. Being the smart ass he is he said "I would get a tattoo of Tattoo from Fantasy Island". I thought that was brilliant and since I have tattoos for my mother, grandmother's and past ex's, I thought it would be nice to get something for the man that raised me. Here's to you Pop"

Dear world, what IS meta?

Hi. My name is Susan and I decided to start a blog about things that are meta, in between the other things that I do (work; drink; sleep; eat; zumba). It has been pointed out to me already that if I were truly being meta, I would start a blog about blogs. But alas, that has already been done. For context, please note that my use of the word meta tends to drive my ex college roomie a bit crazy, as she is a bona fide philosphy major who actually knows what meta means. She didn't like it then [when we tried to create a 'metaism of the day' #MOD hashtag on twitter], and she probably doesn't like it now [that I am creating a blog two years later]. To that end, and to get this blog started off on the right (or less wrong) foot, I have commissioned an introduction to the word 'meta' by philosophy expert, sports journalist, and meta expert herself, Rachel Orland. Her guest entry is as follows, and please note that any and all reader contributions on viewing life th...
