Ag Style Response: My four year old would like me to pay child support and visit on holidays. As I explained to her on her birthday, you don’t always get what you’d like in life.

You notice how Michael Phelps always has his “beats by dre” on when he’s walking somewhere? I’d bet it’s because he has an mp3 repeating “Left Foot…Right Foot…” #strikesmeasslow #couldbetheoxygendeprivstion #orthepot

“But he was cut back in February after a series of incidents, including punching a teammate, lining up in the wrong spots and sending out ill-advised tweets.”

I want to know that was the sequence.

WEEK ONE

“Titus punched our kicker.”

“Meh”

WEEK TWO

“Titus lined up in the wrong spot.”

“How wrong?”

“He was standing on the ref.”

“Meh.”

WEEK THREE

“Titus just tweeted Doctor Who spoilers”

“THAT BASTARD!!! CUT HIM!!!”

Sincere Response: Yes.

The new Lamborghini Egoista Concept. Read about the car and its design at MotoringExposure.

And as you can see, it does come in black.

This past year marked the 25th Anniversary of the Graphics Interchange Format. From its humble beginnings at Netscape, to its current prominence in today’s Tumblr-driven culture, the GIF has come a long way, bb.

All this week, in honor of the Lifetime Achievement Award GIF inventor Steve Wilhite is receiving at this year’s Webbys we will be celebrating GIF WEEK. It’s like shark week but way, way better. 

And FYI, it’s pronounced “jiff.” And that’s according to the guy who invented it. If you have any problems with that, take it up with this guy. 

I’ll be cold and buried before I recognize the soft G. 

We stand with Bugs.

soft g

usually a fan of hard, but in this case, soft.

i use the soft g, for two reasons.

1. the guy that invented says it’s a soft g. i think he probably knows. it’s like if someone asked you your name, and you told them, and then they continued to purposely mispronounce it.
2. think of it like the word “jeep.” it started out as a General Purpose vehicle in the military, so they started calling them “GPs”. that eventually got shortened to “jeep.” these are G-I-Fs, shortened to “jiffs.” the sound of the G might be hard, but to pronounce the letter’s name itself, you use the soft g (“jee”).

scottfriday makes an awful lot of sense…..and I haven’t even been drinking yet.

My last name is Giffen.

Been called “Gif” (with the hard G) since middle school.

But I definitely use the soft G when saying “gifs.”

So from now on I will continue to pronounce the word referring to the image with a soft G and while insisting on expanding my nickname. From now on I am…

“Gif With The Hard G!”
