Quick update for everyone, let’s see what I’ve rounded up this time:
First up, if you’ve seen the many parodies of “Shit Girls Say,” this is probably one of the more clever ones. Although not accurate (unless it’s a silent order of course):
Following yesterdays political news in Iowa, BuzzFeed has 25 people google’ing “Santorum” for the first time. Hilarity ensues.
One of the blogs I follow is UpADownA. And they posted this very beautiful image of an oatmeal stout (my favorite kind of beer):
Makes me want to to drink a New Holland Poet.
George Michael (the singer, not the Arrested Development character) is rightfully pissed…after Christian groups were praying for his death while he had pneumonia. Note to those groups: Jesus told us to love one another. I don’t remember anything about hate. You’re doing it wrong.
Back with a couple things for everyone. First up, I’ll have to wonder if my laptop bag (a new one I just switched to by the way) will forever smell like vanilla, since I splashed my drink onto it. Not too much, but enough. But then the table next to me spilled their entire drink on the floor, so I feel a little better.
Anyway….
A follow up to the cello Star Wars, I like this one better by the way:
Here is the Muppabet, which reached the end, and has since ended. That’s a neat idea though, to have a set end for a blog.
The creator of TED is looking to recreate the conference once again.
I have a few friends who will love this for the pokeman reference. I have others who will love it for the gardening skills. Here is the pokerose.
When I’m out in public and can overheard a first date, I live tween using the hashtag #FirstDateEavesdropping and it’s a fun time. Andy Boyle did the same, but with a break-up
He’s out of the race, and didn’t have a chance to begin with, but I had a special type of vitriol for Herman Cain, seeing as he’s racist against the Lebanese.
And finally, something that I thought i heard something about it before, but now it’s coming to market: condoms with a Viagara type gel inside. No reason to not be safe!
And again, if you haven’t seen it, go see The Muppets:
Facebook has announced a new anti-suicide help tool. Pretty awesome! Although there are so many status updates that are just lyrics, this will be tough to work out:
I’ve seen this before, but never with this much of a demo. We knew it was only a matter of time:
This is an NYT article about a cool service connecting kids to useful accurate sex ed (text messaging, of course). However, here’s the really scary sentence:
Sex education is a thorny subject for most school systems; only 13 states specify that the medical components of the programs must be accurate.
I don’t ever know how to react to that. Rage? Disbelief? Do I cry or laugh, I just freaking don’t know.
And speaking of craziness and sex, did you know that Louie Vuitton (I remember in my advertising class, being one of two guys, and we both had to ask who that was), makes condoms. And they cost $68 each.
Banksy has done a sculpture, this time, to remember the victims of the abuse of the Catholic church. It’s an awesome piece, entitled Cardinal Sin.
Also across the pond, the Louvre is going to be offering a program where people can use their 3DS’s to take tours. Pretty awesome!
Graph time:
And just for fun, forgot to add this graphic:
Remember, voting is every American’s right. There shouldn’t be roadblocks to it (take for instance, the Iowa Republican caucuses, which have no ID requirements like those proposed around the country, although apparently in Virginia, you have to sign an oath saying you’ll vote Republican in the general election).
That’s it for this update, but I’ll be back with more soon!
Google has their annual recap of the year. Not going to lie, tears rolling down my cheeks by the end (for all kinds of reasons, although some aren’t shown in the video, but more on that tomorrow):
More things for you (and then probably just one or two more big posts like this this weekend):
Cool Russian PSA for reading:
I thought I posted about this before, but maybe I didn’t, how awesome are these pools:

Now you can use a typewriter to make a painting. Pretty awesome, but I think it would take too long and turn out being a bit pixelated (although it would be a cool style)
From Copyranter, we’ve finally found Snooki’s doppleganger:
This is probably more of a link for The Great and Secret Show, but I’ll post it here. Skyrim apparently needs a bit of an update. One of the things I think the Myst series did very well was the story told by the world (since there were so few characters, Myst IV being the exception of course, but let’s not talk about Revelations).
Okay, that one was a lot shorter than I thought. I’m updating my computer, and it needs to restart, so I’ll be back in a bit.
