This is absolutely great: Send a free personalized message from Samuel L. Jackson for “Snakes on a Plane.” I swear, the thing is brilliant… the audio editing is really good… and it makes phone calls anywhere for free. Even better? You put in the phone number you want it to appear from… and it uses… Continue reading Now this is how you do viral…

the show
Okay, I’ve pretty much become addicted to the show with zefrank. I can’t help it. It’s compelling. And funny. And smart. And for embedded online video, it just works. Go watch. And then go watch a bunch of the archives.
The name game
While I can’t say as I’ve found much use out of MySpace, my sister-in-law did post an amusing bulletin that I had to steal. I’m sure we’ve all seen variations on the name game… here’s a collection of rules for generating ten of them (along with my results). Your Spy Name: Middle name and current… Continue reading The name game
YouTube goodness
I’ve been exploring YouTube a bit more lately and just thought I’d point to some of the videos I’ve found that amuse me… Crazy Cat Pinky – the cat in this video wigs out and I actually laughed out loud. This Place Sucks – Superfriends – the classic Superfriends/Office Space mashup. Deadwood Swearing – nothing… Continue reading YouTube goodness
What the hell was that?
When I started writing this post, the video in question actually existed… but now the link they had goes to the Visitor and Convention Bureau site… hmmmmmm.

There’s not much more to be said on Trojan (check out some of the latest news); I never knew much about the plant,… Continue reading Trojan crumbling

Best spam name ever
I’ve seen this name show up a few times now in my email spam filter: Natalie Gadzooks. Perhaps it’s not the best spam name ever, but every time I see it, it makes me laugh.
The Dark Side of geocaching
Spotted this article on CNN today: Geocaching puts authorities on edge. It’s about what happens when police find geocaches and think they might be bombs and such. Rounding a corner on his motorcycle to finish rigging his cache, he was greeted by a barricade of police cars and a bomb squad. He struggled to explain… Continue reading The Dark Side of geocaching
