Phil is “being treated better than the average child in Pennsylvania” and lives in a climate-controlled environment.
Would you rather an iPad or a stone:
I vote for multi task…
Speaking of the iPad, do you remember that it was unveiled the same day as the State of the Union address? Well, here’s the results if you were to just mash the two together:
Feeling sick and don’t want to go to work? Make sure to follow Kim’s advice:
Okay, I’ll be back with another post, but I need to restart my computer, so I have to cut this one short so Windows Updater will stop having a conniption.
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.
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:
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.
And I’m back! Enjoy some of this awesomeness as I continue to go through my e-mail, back logs of links and find all kinds of stuff from around the Net for you to enjoy:
Lifehacker takes you through the steps to disable Places on Facebook. As with anything regarding privacy on Facebook, the steps necessary are long and involved (or at least, longer and more involved than they should be), but I did them this afternoon, so they aren’t impossible.
Did you know that the Old Spice man wants to be a superhero? Check out his transformation here:
I came cross a new blog, Better Book Titles. A personal favorite (and what has turned into my white whale):
(It’s really Infinite Jest, which I have started and gotten about 100 pages in at least four times now…)
A Chinese mall has a new “rage center” where women can go in and smash items that were going to be thrown out anyway. Pretty cool if you ask me.
This article is just blowing my mind a little bit:
Intel announced Tuesday that it had made the first chip that sends and receives information using beams of light…And the company expects to make one eventually that can transmit a laptop’s hard drive in one second and the entire printed collection of the Library of Congress in less than two minutes.
One of the designers of the U.S. State Quarters has released a couple parodies, including this wonderful one of New Jersey:
China is planning huge buses that run on rails (so I guess it is a mix of light rail and bus) that cars can drive underneath. Amazing:
Well, this is my second attempt at this post, everything crashed, and I know I lost two articles, but nothing that we can’t live without, so we’ll just muddle through.
First though, watch this trailer, which is to my favorite book in the series:
Want to go into space? How about just your picture, which comes complete with an official flight certificate. Only two chances left!
And finally, I don’t really trust the guys from the Mysteria Film Group, mostly because they just kind of inserted themselves and made themselves official. I’m sure there is all kind of stuff going on behind the scenes that I don’t understand, but I think it’s when they called the fans “they.” Just rubbed me the wrong way. I wish them the best, I want them to succeed, I’ll be the first in line here in Pittsburgh, but I still don’t have to trust them. Anyway, it’s a great tour of Cyan Worlds’ studio and a fun time with Rand:
This is something I feel that my friends would do, and I kind of love it, as it reminds me of Kingdom of Loathing. Ladies and gentleman, the Baby Seal pinata:
Did you know that Jerry Springer ran for governor? I didn’t, and this is an awesome ad:
This has been floating around for a bit now, but I have to ask. A blue cape? Really?
I wonder what they would say about this (Republicans blocked the passage of a bill that would extend benefits to emergency personnel from September 11th):
Also, if Weiner would run with Grayson from Florida, I honestly don’t know what I would do, I would just move and work on their campaign for free.
And finally, I have to disagree with this article, Dollhouse figured it out by using Active Architecture. And then by not needing that Architecture. Maybe I’ll just stay in denial, that sounds like a good idea.
I have a very full back log of links and other assorted things to pass on. I’m going to try to get to posting some of them over the next couple weeks, so this is a clearinghouse of sorts. These are fairly current too, so you’re in luck!
The apps available for cell phones are getting kind of amazing! You can order pizza and have ti delivered to your blanket…in Central Park.
And speaking of iPhones, here’s a fun parody:
A follow up to the periodic table of meat I posted a bit ago, here is the periodic table of swearing (which, incidentally, will probably offend you):
I stumbled across “Continuity” a game from the Independent Games Festival, and it’s a lot of fun, check it out here.
So my birthday is coming up, here’s a gift idea for you:
Probably not that safe, but still freaking cute!
World War Z is being made into a movie, and Brad Pitt is going to be in it! I think I’m most excited that it will be a movie, though. If you haven’t read it, it really is an amazing piece of work, even if you don’t like zombies, the writing is simply amazing!
For some strange reason, I feel as if my cousin would love this product. However, I don’t know how one tactfully asks a relative their bra size in order to purchase a Christmas gift. I feel as though that is a sentence most people don’t ever write or say out loud.
