Perhaps one of the funniest sites I have ever seen that actually has function besides inducing painful laughter. Some of my favorite excerpts.
"how heavy is that fattest person?", "did joe cheated on my mom in the past?", "who will win the stanley cup tomorrow?", "what kind of bait should i use to fish in Palo?".
The amount of questions that can't be answered is really interesting to me. The concept is amazingly cool.
This is another example of the Internet flattening the Globe, and bringing people together who would never meet in any other circumstances.
Music+news+comedy=AWESOME!
I love this, on so many levels. It is fairly good music, but it is also a joke about autotuning, and it is news, and a joke about the news, and a joke about the people who make and deliver news.
The first video, at the beginning until about 15 seconds, is absolutely hilarious. "What's wrong with fantasy? I fantasy, and I live in the sea!"
The second video, my favorite part is the beginning till 45 seconds in, and 1:23 till 1:50.
The third video, my favorite part is 31 seconds, till 1:25. Ron Paul!! Also, watch Rachel Maddow's lips. 1:35-2:10. This one is probably my favorite.
The fourth video, my favorite part is the beginning until 1:20. Any song that uses "jurisprudent" and "shawty" is awesome in my book.
This is an amazingly silly, yet funny video.
Make sure to check out the other two that are part of the same set.
If you happen to be part of the nerd news cycle, you probably already heard about Google Wave, but in case you aren't, and you haven't, here are some of highlights, according to Lifehacker. There is something fascinating to me about seeing new technology. I can't wait to get my hands on it, see how it works, and just play with it in general.
This was hailed as the next Google killer, but then it got booed for insufficient results, and inability to pull results from inside sites. Good for some kinds of searches, but awful for other kinds.
Again, the next Google killer. Good for particular kinds of searches, but lacking in others. The most useful features have to be manually turned on, which can be a turn-off for those who don't know how, or don't have the time.
A fun little oddity of the Web, where anyone can tag San Francisco, legally.
One of my favorite news sources, due to the user-generated gathering of news, and the ability of the collective to pass judgement on anything and everything.
A great new experiment in journalism. The contributers are required to interact with the comments, and each other's articles. I also happen to be the 6th most active reader at the time of writing. I really enjoy that the content is broken up by writer, not content. Plus, the content is fairly broad, and not bland like network news and main-stream articles.
A super-interesting article about social behavior, and what can be learned from non-verbal communication.
Google's upcoming treasure hunt "Day in the Clouds". Co-sponsored by Virgin Air, the cloud refers both to metorlogical and technological. The tech cloud is something like Google Apps, which can store data on your computer, but the default is to keep everything on the Internet, so you can access it from anywhere.
Two of my favorite blogs. Landscape+Urbanism and Ve.itcuture. First, I love Portland, and second, I love architecture and nature, so I love these blogs.
That's all my cool stuff to share for now.
I want to hear some comments on this one. Even if they are mean, just something, some kind of feedback.
I would like to hear what you think of this. More sites, more articles, neither, both, corn-on-the-cob, whatever you would like to see out of the blog.
