Old-School-Fashioned Hamburgers

Friday, January 6th, 2006

This has got to be one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while. It’s a training video from Wendy’s, apperently from the around the “Golden Age” of rap music. Frankly, I think the lyrics, while corny, are actually pretty good given the subject matter. Now I’ll just have to wait for the VH1, […]

…who’s the fairest of them all.

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

Via 3 Minds I came across the myHeritage.com face recognition celebrity database which claims to be able to analyze you face and show you which celebrities you most closely resemble.
Apparently I could make a living as a geek impersonator as the software determined that this picture of me and my wife revealed that I have […]

Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006

A quick test ( 10 questions, 10 seconds each ) to test how up to speed you are on your Web2.0 knowledge. I scored an 8/10 which actually surprised me.

Pictures of Walls

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

A site dedicated to pictures of walls, and the stuff people put on them.
…it’s better than it sounds actually.

Debunking, debunked.

Monday, December 19th, 2005

As someone who has been known to have an extrodinary lack of patience for stupid people people who argue the reality of the moon landing, I found this quite satisfying.
NASA Fakes Moon Landing. Complete with annotated pictures.
Ok, so hardly a through debunking, but I figure that that crowd doesn’t really need anymore quantifying, just teasing.

Just like Kevin Bacon

According to this animated .gif, the current English alphebet only 7 steps removed from the Phoenician alphabet of 900 B.C.

Very interesting indeed.

Old and Broke!

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

From the fore mentioned drownedinsound.com I simultaneously discovered that my kindred Minnesota ex-pat has apparently grown both old and broke in the same week. Say it isn’t so Prince?!?

Gigantic Yeti Archive

Friday, December 9th, 2005

Wow, as a big monster fan, who is especially fond of the super-sized simian variety I have to link to this page. I’ve never seen such an incredible collection of Yeti pictures collected in one spot. I also think it includes the best Sasquatch ( or Yeti if you must ) picture I’ve ever seen.

Simply […]

The most important meal

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

Seth Godin is an absolute genius, but I guess sometimes even he can get things wrong. How could you question the shear genius of the Egg & Muffin 2-Slice Toaster and Egg Poacher!
I first heard about this product months ago and after bringing it up over drinks, it became the topic of an hours worth […]

Microsoft Bob… The Reunion Tour!

Saturday, August 6th, 2005

I just came across a post on digg.com titled “Microsoft Bob - The Failed Microsoft Product”. What’s funny is half the posters seem to have fond memories of the product.
Well back in the day I used to work at Computer City and the rep came around handing out MS Bob T-Shirts to anyone who would […]
