i wish i was a geeky boy, because this would make my day — a website with lots of hot chicks posing with network equipment :
unfortunatelly, i’m not a geeky boy. and somehow, i have my doubts about there being an equivalent of this for girls. like, chip’n dale with motherboards. but then again, we may be better off without it.
The old are trying to reach out to the youngsters through da SMS lingo. First da bible, now English literature. In order to aid students in studying literary classics, a professor at University College London is spearheading a project to condense plots into short messages written in “accessible” language. For example:

How dumb do they think the kids are these days?!?!?!
Nothing brings a smile to my face better than a website offering Germans for rent.
rentagerman.de offers a wide range of Germans for your personal and social needs.
You can select the German of your choice for an exclusive lifetime experience:
Imagine to appear with your German at parties, family events, or just hang out with them at the local shopping center.
No matter which occasion you choose, you will surely impress your environment by presenting an original German.
The customer reviews are pretty, well, enthusiastic:
Samantha F., 27 (London): “I had such a lovely evening with the German and my mates: After the pub, we went dancing. My friends were thoroughly impressed by the German moves. I was gobsmacked when the German even cleaned my house the next day, before I was awake! Will definitely rent again.”
But the pictures top it all off.
I don’t want to make any rush decisions, but I like whoever made this website (fingers crossed, fingers crossed, let’s hope i didn’t get suckered into some marketing scheme more genious than anything i could ever come up with.)
When a banner ad appeared advertising “Lot 49 - we welcome our new overlords,” my this-could-be-funny complusion kicked in, and I followed the link.
Lot 49 may be Brainspace’s long lost cousin. The selection of “wonderful things” matches my taste in “wonderful things” almost exactly. The tech and political news are interesting bits and pieces. My only dislike? The ‘about’ section. Could someone explain to me what it is about that style of writing that grates on my nerves?
Some of my fav posts from the past couple days:
- Hunting Season Opens for Mythical Creature (Loch Ness is next…)
- “Jesus Juice” Merlot Coming Soon (wow.)
- Bra’s in the News (he did miss the cheese bra though)
- Physics of Cow Tipping (It’s not that easy!)
- Liberal Church Threatened By IRS (boy are my parents in trouble)
You know those times when you’re drinking some wine after a long day at work and ahead of another one, drinking and chatting, and then a random phrase like anal leakage comes up? You do, right?
Couple minutes later you can’t quite remember how that happened but now you are (bravely) determined to image-google it? There, the number one result (a cute poop cartoon) leads you to a somewhat funny story about a do-it-yourself experiment on leakage effects of Olestra. Funny enonugh to appreciate when you’re tired and drunk. But you were really looking for was a diamond in the rough kind of an image, that Google failed to provide. So you AltaVista it. And it pretty much almost didn’t fail:
I hope you didn’t expect this post to be funny or make sense. It was about anal leakage for god’s sake. But yes, wouldn’t eat those Frito Lay chips that claim to be fat free.
Is it really really butt butt butt ugly? Britney’s reaction to a picture leak definitely suggests this scenario. Her lawyers say: “Anyone who publishes, sells or otherwise exploits any of these images in any way will be subject to liability and damages for wilful infringement of copyright.”
I have always been perplexed by the astronomical sums such pictures are worth (and the implication that people really really care to see them). But now I want to see the ugly baby too!
So I was going to mock the New Art but then I started playing with it. Now I wish I had written the code myself, with a few modifications to remove the art and make it a useful visualization tool. The artist here is named Mark Napier. He has a website with a variety of art to play with.
His art can be found later this month at bitforms, a NYC gallery, which merited a Wired article for its efforts in New Art.
Is not even the funniest quote from the Secret Hypnosis website.
(another wonderfully random find — from a russian user on livejournal. can anyone translate?)
I don’t want to be like Macy’s (yep, they opened the Holiday Lane already), but I have some Christmas ideas for your grandma. No, I wasn’t looking for this — it’s the newest batch of bizzare websites I got from Rascal.
A Russian company seems (this is an assumption, I can’t actually read Russian) to be selling wooden computers and then there are also classic russian-looking painted designs for mice/mouses and keyboards. It’s sort of marvelous. And it might just convince my grandma to finally start doing email.

“In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth”.
And then, a few millenia later, there was an SMS translation of the Bible, that can be downloaded for free and is in easily accesible contemporary speak. Those Australians, they always have to come up with something like this. I’d say it’s cute if I wasn’t on an anti-organized-church streak this week/month/year.

This was one of the results I got from a search query i was testing.
Responding, perhaps, to the demand for ever-increasing amounts of memory in the portable music player, a thoughtful post details how to amp up your new ipod nano. On the downside, battery life is just 6 minutes!
