Quick update for everyone before once again I dive back into my novel.
First up, Jesse Tyler Ferguson shows us how to tie a bowtie (this is normal the first time, after it’s much easier, if you need help, just ask me):
The male ego is very fragile. Perfect for marketers to take advantage of.
Fun discussion of code words. So many at summer camp, we used Santa Claws and Mr. Diamond for bears and snakes.
And of course, Ermylerd, Gersberms:
Update for everyone, let’s see what we have.
First up, this was actually posted by The Drunk Yinzer:
In a cocktail moment from Maddow: Bacon!
A fun parody of It Gets Better:
How cool is this, Obama read “Where the Wild Things Are” at the annual Easter Egg roll. Although I love his faces, I’m going to have to say Christopher Walken was better (since there is audio of that).
And from Better Book Titles:
The fun thing is that both Better Book Titles and Sword and Laser are reading this as their book club pick. It’s an amazing book, you really should read it!
Hug a Coke machine and get a free drink:
A new, promising type of treatment for cancer is being developed in the UK.
You shouldn’t drive and text, nor should you walk and text:

So true:
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back with more soon!
Hello there everybody, another clearinghouse type article here for you, so enjoy the wonderousness that the Internet has to offer:
This apartment must have been so, freaking expensive:

Craigmod takes a look at the current state of eReaders and how we need to move forward. I really like the idea of collaboration between eReader and their documents.
This was passed around before, and I can’t embed it, but check out how these athletes entertained the crowd during a rain delay at a baseball game.
Looking for Halloween costumes? Or just a little something for your alter ego? Look no further than the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co.

I saw this last year, but forgot to post it. How cool is it that the White House now has a Seder?
This is being billed as London’s Eiffel Tower. I don’t see it. At all. It’s being built for the 2012 London Olympic Games, which more and more, a looking like a disaster (see: the ugly logo):
Would you like to see stories from The Bible acted out by Legos? Really, who wouldn’t? Check it out here.
T-shirt war:
I kind of love this Lost alarm clock! However, I think it would get really annoying every morning. Also, it only takes batteries, no plug, which is just strange.
Scientists can use giant magnets to make humans ‘less moral.’ So if someone comes up to you and asks for a shady favor, while holding giant magnets near your ears, just say no!
This is a little sad and a little frightening. Watch out Stephen Colbert:
I’m fairly certain this is better than any lawn gnome ever.
With the recent relaunch of ChatRoulette, here’s an interview with its creator, a 17 year old Russian boy.
This is pretty awesome, a self-sufficient waterfall that creates energy and works as an observation tower for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. London take note, Brazil is doing it better (but I still won’t go there because of the tornadoes of fire):
IGN has an awesome article refuting the claim that video games can’t be art. I generally like Ebert and love reading his writing, but this is one thing he’s wrong about. Make sure to check it out.
Just remember kids, cleavage is wrong. Especially when it is on a puppet.
Want to hack the internet a little bit to get more traffic to your site? Try this linkbait generator. Currently it reads for me: 8 ways Star Trek can save your life in a Plane Crash
Here’s a fun link to sports team’s logos from Middle Earth, I’m partial to this one:
Mennonno sapiens has a great article about the Tea Party. Check it out if you have a minute.
And we’ve found the primordial ooze. Cool:
May I introduce you to Butch Bakery. Kind of awesome.
Or maybe you need to create your own warning sign. Do it here
That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon with more. Have a great one everybody!
Alright, I hope everyone had a good weekend, I’m back with all kinds of stuff, enjoy everything!
First, I’m going to kill you with cuteness. This monkey sounds like R2D2!
Last year it was announced that Joss Whedon was going to direct an episode of Glee. And now it was announced that Neil Patrick Harris will guest star in that episode!
Speaking of Glee, the Christian Right is warning parents not to let their children watch it, for, and get this: including too many musical numbers. Thank goodness they were here to point out the obvious!
But thankfully, the courts have ruled that colleges and universities can decide not to science credits from classes that taught only creationism.
Have you had the urge to listen to “Mrs. Robinson” lately? It could be because of the huge scandal in Ireland recently.
Conan put the Tonight Show up on Craigslist, although it has already been taken it down, you can check it out at The Consumerist.
And here is the most expensive sketch, from his final night:
Speaking of, this is how the late night wars went down, according to a Japanese news station. I don’t understand either:
Watch this clip of Gov. Rendell (The Gov. of Philadelphia, I mean, Pennsylvania), does me make some sort of slip implying that he’s gonig to run for Senate, or am I reading too much into his comment about “some of us” losing our races:
This is floating around out there, but apparantly, the number of Crayola crayons doubles every 28 years:
Would you like a Router made from Legos? Of course you would!
Tim on Distorted View mentioned this one, as well as some other ones, but I do agree, this must be the best Rickrolling ever!
I’m not sure what to think about these signs. I like them, I guess, and I appreciate how oddly specific they are…
This commercial played while I was at the bar yesterday, I laughed, a lot:

More weight to the only reason I want a PS3: Little Big Planet is going 3D!
If you didn’t watch the Hope for Haiti telethon last Friday, here is my favorite performance of the night:

If you haven’t heard, the fear-mongering and hateful Focus on the Family will be running an ad during the Super Bowl. Which is interesting, since CBS doesn’t show ads “touches on and/or takes a position on one side of a current controversial issue of public importance.” Right…
And just to keep us up to date, The Onion has a great roundup of God’s Anger according to Pat Robertson, the jerkface. Although to be fair, Satan did respond via a letter to the editor. And here’s a fun little game to pass the time, staring Pat Robertson, Martin Luther and (wait for it) Hitler
I don’t like cats. Never have. However, I do have to give this cat credit. A lot:

The guys over at the NOH8 campaign have an awesome blog post called “Redefining Republican,” written after the two McCain’s (Cindy and Meghan) joined the campaign. Worth a read.
Speaking of Prop 8, you’re telling me that the LDS church didn’t want anyone to know that they were involved? I’m supposed to be surprised, right? Here’s the followup, it’s just as important as the first link, as it corrects some of the reporting. Basically, it’s not a direct quote, but how a witness observed the communication.
Patrick, once again, has an awesome blog post, this time about the Internet as support group, including a note from “The interwebs.” A little past Cluetrain, but still related, so I’m going to tag it.
Go, right now, and play first person tetris. Enjoy! And speaking of video games, hardcausal has an awesome article about explaining games to your grandmother. Worth a read. And Nintendo Power makes fun of…Nintendo.
Guinevere the Boy Scout returns, check out her latest post here, an awesome entry about the Winter Parent and Son weekend.
The following video is supposedly DVR proof. The concept is sound, and I believe proven. If you keep your product in the middle of the screen, even someone fast forwarding through the commercials will see it long enough to make an impression in your brain. And while yes, that is true, this ad misses the mark. Seeing a picture of a grasshopper does in no way make me want to purchase their phone, it doesn’t even correlate, because the brand isn’t in my mind first of all, and secondly, since it isnt, there isn’t enough time for me to see the tiny phone and make the connection. Not bad for effort, but totally missing the mark:
Contrary to the title, I did not find most of these funny. While I do think they are good ads, not hilarious by any means.
Caution, more fun animals: Ok, moose are funny enough when they walk or run, they appear as though they just have extra joints and their limbs just kind of flail about. And the music in this video is awful. But watch it anyway, just on mute.
Have I mentioned how much I love Representative Grayson? And I’m still trying to learn more about the Supreme Court decision, apparently it doesn’t’ change as much as first thought, but it’s still a scary precedent, to be sure!
And now, a fun chart:
Speaking of food, good job, Giant Eagle! This really is a good use of the Advantage Cards. And to anyone who was surprised that they were monitoring your purchases I ask, really?
Interested in copy writing? Appreciate the word ‘inconceivable?’ Check out the Princess Bride Guide to Copy Writing. That’s right.
The guys from the Woot! podcast went to CES and made this video. If the Wii by itself destroyed TVs, than that bowling ball is going to make so many, many people cry. Who would think that that is a good idea?
What would The State of the Union be like of Steve Jobs delivered it? Slate finds out.
The first live tweet was sent from the International Space Station. And my mind has exploded a little bit.
Honestly, I’m surprised no one else thought of this. The BBC straps a camera to birds heads and lets us fly with them:
Ok, that’s it for now, giant post! Have a great one everybody!
