Day: May 13, 2011

  • Lukewarm Links 5/12

    Hey, I forgot to do one of these last week.  I won't sum up my day today but if you go to my last pulse you can get a brief rundown.  I did get the dandelions.  Probably more than enough to make a few bottles of wine.  Yes, I'm going to attempt making some dandelion wine.

    1.  I don't know I give tumblr so many links but it's hot and new just like Tagged, Hi5, and Myspace.  Anyway, this is called Nerdology.  It involves nerd stuff.  If you go there, you're a total nerd.  Oh and speaking of social networking sites, I just found this new one called Friendster.  I think it's going to be HUGE.

    2.  Remember when you were a kid and your parents made you get your photo taken and it was the 80s and everything had to have lasers?  Well I do...quite vividly but those photos no longer exist so don't ask.  Even if they did exist, do you think I would post them?  Oh by the way, hi DesirePork, here's another shout-out for Refurbishing Cabbage.  Here's the real link...WE HAVE LASERS!  Trust me, you'll love it.  And if you don't, you're a dirty communist.

    3.  You know in this economy the people who are really suffering are the traders on the floor of the stock exchanges.  See what I mean?  So sad to be only make hundreds of thousands instead of millions.

    4.  Here's a fun site called Twaggies.  They take Tweets from Twitter and turn them into cartoons.  I don't think they've ever done one of mine...sad face.  I should totally tweet that.

    5.  Here's another fun site involving Twitter.  These two guys will read tweets and then compose a song and sing you a 140 character song.  Why didn't I think of that?  Why didn't Refurbishing Cabbage think of that?

    6.  Because I love The Office, here's a website devoted to the hottest toy at Christmas a couple of years ago, Princess Unicorn.

    7.  I think I posted this before but I like it and it's very Daft Punk-esque.  This is the tone matrix.  You click on boxes and compose your own songs.  Fun times.

    8.  Ugh...I don't think I will ever eat again after seeing this site of the most disgusting things found in food.  Subway..really?

    9.  When I worked in a tourist town, I handled a lot of money and sometimes the money had crazy things written it.  One year I got caught up in this site called Where's George.  I'll let you look it up.  It was a site where you registered your dollar bills and then wrote on it to have someone log it in.  It basically tracked how many times a dollar bill changed hands.  I actually was a leader for a couple of weeks but that's because I was in a tourist town.  I kept one bill because it had all these things about priests molesting children on it.  Weird.  Anyway, here's a collection of things people write on dollar bills. 

    10.  Remember a while back when VH-1 did exploitative dating reality shows?  Remember the show that starred a guy named Frank the Entertainer?  Well I fell in love with one of the contestants who was named Annie.  She didn't really belong on that show.  Turns out she wanted to get on the show to do performance art but got caught up in the ridiculousness of the whole thing.  Here's an article she wrote about becoming a famewhore.  I still love her. (She's the one in the pink thing)

    11.  If you read my last post you know about the pizza and their different offerings.  Here's one they should have on their menu...the Peepza.

    12.  USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA

    Every time I see Thom Yorke dance this is what I imagine.

    Yep, that's pretty much right.

    That's just like the time the dog wanted to play fetch with me and use my fingers as a stick.

    Mortal Kombat fans?

    It's the weekend!

    Please hold the applause...Friday the 13th?  Bring it.
