Today's Mighty Oak


I kept forgetting to upload this.  SVC has an app (at least for Android), and after I installed it, here’s the screen, this made me smile:



Bigger update for everyone, enjoy everything below, and I’ll be back soon with more:

This has been passed around a lot, and it’s sad that many people don’t remember floppy disks.  And the fun sounds they made:

Unplggd has an awesome article about repairing broken cords (power, usb, etc).  Check it out.

Ever wonder just exactly what are continents?  The answer may surprise you:

I’ve talked a little bit about this guy before, and he’s awesome.  Heaven help my future children, I”m totally doing this.

I just found a new youtube channel called MinutePhysics.  it’s pretty cool, watch their take on Schrodinger’s Cat:

Need filler text, but don’t want to use the normal, boring Jabberwocky or Lorem Ipsum?  Check out these alternatives.

This is really cool, and a cool way to entertain and inform those in the subway system in Osaka:

I think these are finally porting their way over to Facebook once again, so that’s good.  More updates to the site later this week as well, have a great one!



Too long to be a TV ad, but still worth passing around:



I meant to post this before, but enjoy:



I’m just going to start off (I’m yelling this in my head): World’s biggest lightsaber

The blog over at The Office of Letters and Light has a great blog post about the important of hufflepuffs.  Make sure to read the whole thing, but here’s a snippet:

But we all know a Hufflepuff. Some of our closest friends are probably Hufflepuffs. A Hufflepuff will split a cookie with you, and give you the bigger half without even thinking about it. Hufflepuffs always know how to defuse awkward situations. They make the best wingmen. They’re not dramatic, they don’t fish for compliments, and they never have problems dealing with change. When your ego gets the best of you, a Hufflepuff will keep it in check. Hufflepuffs are charismatic, empathetic, and easy to take for granted because they put their friends before anyone else.

Why? They don’t need a reason why. A Hufflepuff doesn’t need to know the good deeds you’ve done, or how powerful your wand is, and a Hufflepuff doesn’t care how you do at math (thank goodness).

So, remember the crazy debate of the Park 51 mosque?  What if it opened and no one noticed?  Yeah, world is still spinning, I promise.

More later, I promise, just wanted to pass on a few links before I lost them.



Just a short test post from my Nook to see if this will work.



Quick update for everyone, let’s see what the Internet has brought us today:

First up, check out these awesome Crayola sculptures:

Copyranter is one of my favorite blogs, and I especially love his glee at this story.  Make sure you read it until his last sentence.

The next Abarat book, which I’ve been waiting for for about five years, comes out on Tuesday.  I’m very, very excited:

This is awesome, and amazing.  Technology can start to recreate movies from what you see in your mind.  Awesome possibilities, especially for the future of storytelling.

Two more quick posts from Copyranter.  First, awesome use of cables to advertise:

And lastly, awesome fortune cookies:

I especially love the expiration date one.

I’ll be back soon with more, but for now, I need to head out, I’ve been at Panera for too long at this point.



I have a feeling, this is going to be big.  And a lot of fun:



I’m back from my summer travels, so that means, much more regular content!  Until I get back on a normal sleep schedule and whatnot, here’s a short update:

I know I missed it, but all I have to say is one of my favorite quotes, “You should live every week like it’s Shark Week.”  Enjoy:

So, a school district in Missouri banned “Slaugherhouse Five,” because it goes against the Bible.  Good gravy.  But thankfully, the Vonnegut Library will give any student from that district a free copy.  If you’d like to learn more or donate, check it out.

Here is the complete set of Arrested Development paper dolls.  I especially love the Buster one, since it includes the seal and the “You’re Killing Me, Buster” banner.

I posted this on Metblogs, but it’s too awesome to pass up again.  Just remember, this was released when we were still just over .500:

Go build a solar system!  And prepare to lose long bits of time as you play with this!

A message to everyone in London:

And finally, make sure to read this article, it’s about some kids who tried to make a newspaper the old fashioned way, and it’s awesome!

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