Today's Mighty Oak

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear.

Another fun update for you, let’s take a look at what I’ve found online for you.

First up, need an explosion?  Just use this link and click the button.  Thank you Old Spice.

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:

 

Awesome article: Everyone should work a service job.  God how much did I hate folding the basic tee table at Bauer?

George Takai gets us all behind a common cause:

No words can enhance this amazing sign:

 

Check out this revisioning of the Dark Knight Rises trailer:

Check out the best wedding and engagement photos from 2011 here.

Pantone released their color of the year.  Eh, not impressed.

This looks amazing, I had no idea it was being made:

I love Google’s sense of humor, check out the instructions to walk to Mordor.

Occupy Wall Streets becomes Lego Sets!  Not really, but cool idea from Slate.

A fun Star Wars Video:

That’s it for now, back with more soon!

I like that, but there’s just not enough lasers.

Quick update, with a lot of pictures.  First up, happy fall:

 

This is what some people think the Occupy Pittsburgh protesters should be working towards.  And I don’t disagree:

 

It’s okay to laugh at this, it’s funny.  Honest.

And finally, I’m going to go ahead and say that Bachmann looks like Grand Admiral/Chief of State/Deposed Chief of State Daala.  Yes, from Star Wars.  I’m a nerd, and the comparisons are strikingly similar.  Except for the fact that Daala is a genius, and Bachmann is, well, not even close:

 

Okay, one more thing, watch this.  And be confused.  Oh, Shatner:

weather report SAYS: “open that big ass bottle of wine!”

Quick update for everyone.  First up, enjoy this awesome orchestrated version of the Mega Man 2 theme:

Clintus posted this to his blog, and it’s strangely profound:

 

Did you know that Herman Cain is running to be the president of Sim City?  Maxis’ response is priceless, although I wish they would have added “reticulating splines”:

We encourage politicians to continue to look to innovative games like SimCity for inspiration for social and economic change,” said Katsarelis. “While we at Maxis and Electronic Arts do not endorse any political candidates or their platforms, it’s interesting to see GOP candidate Herman Cain propose a simplified tax system like one we designed for the video game SimCity 4.”

Adopting such a simple tax structure, Katsarelis said, would allow fantasy political leaders to focus their energy on infrastructure and national security. “Our game design team thought that an easy to understand taxation system would allow players to focus on building their cities and have fun thwarting giant lizard attacks, rather than be buried by overly complex financial systems.”

 Here’s the actual trailer for the Muppets Movie:

The comments with this Occupy Madison Avenue flyer are awesome.  Seriously, who still uses Lotus notes, and no I will not make the logo bigger.

And here’s a great video from Occupy Seattle:

I kind of want to make this cable manager, it’s an AT-AT from Star Wars!

Once again, Benstonium hits it out of the park (I know wrong sport metaphor):

 

Nice guys are always in Last because they are laughing at the assholes in First:-P

Alright, here we go again:

Couple newspaper updates.  First, McSweeney declares that the newspaper is the best e-Reader, bendable paper-thin screens have been invented and the Chicago Tribune tries their hand at a special, long-form intensive edition for Sundays.  Kind of like the early news websites.

Celebrities talk with IGN about their favorite Star Wars characters.

Click here to watch 35 movies in 2 minutes, pretty awesome.

Check out the second part of the strangest sights in Google Earth.  I’m surprised more companies haven’t followed the lead of number six.

I can’t add anything to this:

 

And, there’s a twin site to Stonehenge.

 

encumbered by the rules of society or not, you cant wear rave pants to an interview.

Yesterday's nut October 4, 2011

Honestly, I have no idea what’s going on here, but I approve:

 

Unplggd has a cool article about using office supplies at home.  I really like the file folder holder for pans and cutting boards.

Copyranter checks in with an awesome art installation project in Japan showing the number of discarded plastic bags.

And finally, game companies *cough SONY cough* have added to the EULA that you can no longer be part of a class-action lawsuit.  Unless you send them a letter opting out of that part.  Here’s a website that will do the grunt work for you, pass the word.

Another big update for everyone, hope you enjoy:

Following on the heels of my previous toaster update, check this out:

 

Think of all the money you could make on eBay!

I’m not a fan of Santorum, as it turns out, no one really is.  But even so, there are enough free fonts out there, you don’t need to steal any, Rick.

Unplggd has an awesome, if impractical, way to use old ethernet cords, take a look:

 

Remember when Florida passed the law requiring those getting aid to pass a drug test?  At a cost charged to those getting aid?  Well as it turns out, only 2% tested positive.  Compared to the entire population of Florida, which has a drug-use rate of over 8%.

I have no idea when Girl Scout Cookie time is, but here you go, the sales of the cookies, by variety:

 

Popular Mechanics has an awesome article showing three different ways to store your extension cords without them getting tangled.  If you have some time some weekend, it could be a fun project!

I don’t follow Dinosaur news that closely, however, I have to agree, this has been my favorite dinosaur for as long as I can remember:

Check out these awesome wedding pictures, make sure to scroll all the way down for the whole story.

I can’t add much more to this sign:

 

Or this one:

 

If you haven’t seen it, make sure to check out BuzzFeed’s gallery of the destruction wrought by the East Coast earthquake.  I like number 18 the best.

Here’s the trailer for the book of the blueprints of the Star Wars universe:

And finally, I want to head to Sherwood’s in Fayette County, looks awesome!

“I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I’m honestly not sure how. I think it’ll just be awkward.”

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHJOz_y9rZ

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!

“All the world is BLACK AND WHITE. The COLOR you have to add yourself.”

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.

For your Sunday viewing pleasure

I’ll be back later, with a couple of things.  First, I’m rewatching the entirety of Dollhouse, I’ll be putting down some thoughts about each episode, just for funsies.  Also, I should be back later with another regular post, but I wanted to get some things put up here that I found here.

First up, here’s the debut trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword:

Speaking of, would you like to be a hero?  Here’s the Generic Legendary Hero Training Manual!

Ladies and Gentleman…this is how your man can become the man you wish he smelled like…or something like that:

I’ve never realized that there are signers at rock concerts.  But apparently, they have lots of problems with Bon Jovi and Lady Gaga, imagine that!

It was only a matter of time before this came around:

Disney is doing a new campaign, putting celebrities into iconic animated roles.  I like this one and the Ursula:

Alright, that’s it for now, but I’ll be back later with more, have a great one!
