Today's Mighty Oak


Quick update for everyone, let’s see what i Have this time.

First up, the Fifty Shades text generator.  Don’t use boring Lorem Ipsum, instead, spice up your fill-in text with poorly written drivel!

Posted next to an office printer:

And finally, probably the best way to surprise a child with the return of a parent from overseas:



Alright, let’s see what I have today for everyone.  First up, this cool map of London that replaces all the labels with movies:

The Oatmeal has an awesome article up, “How to Suck at your Religion”  Make sure to give it a read.

And again, I’m posting it because it’s funny, and I can have the sense of humor of a five year old.  Also, learn to kern.

This is fairly amazing.  No really:

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon!  Have a great one!



Very short update, first up, this awesome video of NYC as an amusement park.

And even though it’s sad that this has to be a thing, I’ll have the humor of a five year old and laugh at it:



Quick update for everyone, let’s see what I’ve found today.  First up, this pretty awesome wallet.  Although the guts of it are too simple for me:

 

Apartment Therapy has pics and vids of an amazing Star Wars barrel organ, check it out.

Here are the highlights from SpaceX’s Dragon’s dock with the ISS:

Buzzfeed has a list of six really cool pieces of street art, I’m a fan of numbers 2 and 4.

And this amazing promo item from Comic Con:

A very good, and heart-wrenching ad from the Clio’s:

Okay, one more video, this is the lineup for the next rollout of The Nerdist shows on youtube, looks amazing:

I think this is an amazing video, because I have such a strange sense of humor:

Announced last week, the Science Channel is going to do a 10th-anniversary Firefly special.  So excited!

AHAHAHAHA: Some evangelicals are trying to boycott Google due to their support for marriage equality.  Good luck with that:

And speaking of marriage equality, at our triannual general convention, the Episcopal Church approved a blessing of same-sex couples.  There’s a lot of caveats to that, I’ll be putting up a post at Metblogs about it, so look for that.

When will news anchors learn that Bill Nye is smarter than you.  She asked him with such snark, it was nice to see him smack her down:

And lastly, the Good Men Project has an awesome poster about words we probably use in our everyday conversation and why they hurt people.  Check it out here.

That’s it for now, have a great one!



Song I discovered while listening to Yinz Luv: Radio yesterday.  I love Fun (even when they were The Format).  I haven’t heard this one as a single (although I think it is), but I expect to hear it in heavy rotation soon.  Skip to one minute in the video to get to the song.



Quick update for everyone, first up, this trailer for a movie I didn’t realize was being made:

This made me giggle:

Pretty awesome, old pay phone booths will become free public WiFi in NYC.

Amazing shirts that play off of the “Plumber’s Crack.”

It may be crude, but it’s totally true.

This is pretty awesome:

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon!



Two quick videos for you, first up, the Youtube complaint department:

And the trailer for the 2012 Olympic Games (less than a month!):



Quick update for everyone, let’s see what I have today for you.

First up, an amazing flash mob.  I was impressed when I saw the bassoon, then I saw the horns!

Paris is going to be offering rest areas around the city that include benches, interactive maps and WiFi hotspots.  Add an outlet and you would never have to leave!

Buzzfeed has 18 strange bus stops from the Soviet Union.  PAT should stick with what they have.

Wondering how fireworks work?  MaddowBlog has you covered:

PittGirl’s new column over at Pittsburgh Magazine takes on the Post-Gazette’s new policy on not using the word Jaggoff.

The Nerdist covers the demolition of The Igloo:

The Guardian interviews the dog from Text from Dog.

It’s a few days late, but it’s patriotic.  ‘MERICA:

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon, have a great one!



Alright, let’s see what I have today.

First up, a strange, and what looks like a very uncomfortable bike:

Also, what happens when someone else locks up their bike but you want to leave?

Apartment Therapy has a post up about surface computing.  I like the idea of being able to “create” a coaster, an area that is movable, that won’t interact with what is placed on it.

Aside from the fact that guys are reading Playboy while getting their hair cut (that seems odd to me), it’s a good ad, I didn’t see the ending coming at all, either:

In case you didn’t hear, CNN reported the ruling on the ACA incorrectly on Thursday:

Some of the Lebanese people are sick of protests.  So they protested.  But at least they didn’t get fined.

I saw this floating around Facebook, and The Good Men Project picked it up as well:
