I can’t believe I stumbled across this one accidentally! There’s a new blog that I have been reading that isn’t really a blog at all. It’s a guy collecting links to cheap and free stuff on the internet. Generally, I read DealNews everyday to find good technology deals, but this blog, Cheap Stingy Bastard, […]
This is an older one, but I still love it. Here is a link to some information about “The Toaster”, a giant mosaic of a toaster created entirely out of pieces of toast. 5 meter wide and 4.5 meter high, it took 2500 pieces of bread to create. It was part of First International […]
I was just surfing around on my powerbook on my livingroom floor, which is my normal surfing position, with the TV on. I just saw (heard) a commercial starring a crappily produced animated tooth. He discusses this dental group’s facilities and services. Of course I didn’t look up. After a few times saying it, my […]
Finally! I had a great July 4th! It’s been a long time. Thanks to my good friends Carrie and Pete (newly married) Frolic, I had one of the greatest views of the NYC fireworks display of all time. Carrie and Pete live in a high-rise apartment in Long Island City, right behind the old lit […]
Back in April, I posted about a little-known site called investinmybreast.com where girls posted mude or semi-nude picts of themselves and basically begged men to donate money so they could get implants. Well, today, months later, Ashley, the girl who’s pict I used in the post wrote me a few comments. Seh basically threatened to […]
The Institute for War and Peace Reporting has a great article aboutGhulam Sediq Wardak, a 62 year, old semi-literate, Afghan inventor responsible for over 341 inventions. You have to read this. The guy is just a genius. He’s got a solar-powered volkswagen bug, a human powered radio, an automatic cradle rocker, a […]
I have been pixelating again, as you may have noticed. I really love the Edward Scissorhands. I even started using photoshop (instead of director) to make them, which is improving my photoshop skills, and opening up a whole new level of color and control that I have never explored. I decided that while I was […]
A hostess from a pretty exclusive NYC restaurant and lounge tells her story of exclusivity and eccentricity. Coco weaves quite a tale of bad celebrity behavior, poor service, faux velvet ropes. A lot of my friends are in this business, but I’ve never seen it as bad as Coco describes it. It’s a great read. […]
This is a great post by a kid who went to protest George W. and got the finger by the man himself in the process. Funny shit.

I can’t get the video to work on my mac. But this guy, Sunjit Kumar, his parents died when he was a young boy, and his grandfather, instead of raising him right, tied him in the chicken coup with the chickens for 20 years. Yeah, you read that right. The guy was raised by chickens. […]
The winners list was announced for the Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) for 2004 last week. Some of the designs are fantastic. Some are mediocre, as usual. The thing is, occasionally, there is stuff that just screams, “GENIUS!!!!” Like this, the Infinity Climber. It’s a children’s play-climber that uses the mobius strip shape to create […]
I don’t normally review shit here. I thought about putting up a review section for books and movies and video games and electronics one time, but it seemed like so much work. It still does. I have to say though, I have now seen all of the Riddick stuff: Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick movie, […]
There’s a commercial! There’s a website. It’s real. I don’t know why.
Vanilla Icecream +
Rasberry Sauce +

Brilliant. The best surfing movie ever. I got to see ridingGIANTS tonight at the AMC theatre in Times Square. It was incredible. This documentary basically tracks the progression of surfing, specifically big wave surfing, from its origins in Hawaii through its perfection in the 90’s with the addition of waverunners and helicopters, from Greg Knoll […]
Tonight, after ridingGIANTS, on the way out of the AMC theatre in Times Square, I saw, for the second time, a bizarre and cute diorama display of little yellow chickens posed in a little town. For the second time, I fell in love with the work. This time, I was lucky enough to walk away […]
A beautiful rendition of “This Land” by George W and John Kerry. This is truly hilarious.

A 26 year old druid was arrested in England today for carrying his sword into a local hardware store. news.com.au has the full story.
“The 26-year-old was charged with possessing an offensive weapon after a security guard saw him with the sheathed 90cm blade draped over his shoulder as he browsed through a branch of Wilkinson […]
Ali G’s new season starts this Sunday. I am psyched. Last season was hilarious. I don’t know where this is from, but HBO has a transcript of Ali G doing the commencement speech at Harvard. I can’t see how Harvard allowed this to happen, so I guess it is just a joke. It is […]
This is a really great tutorial on isometric pixel art. Not too good for pixel people, but great for buildings and shadows and highlights.

Scott Scheidly is the great artist who specializes is clever tiki stuff painted on everything. Burlap, canvas, lunchboxes, suitcases… All of it is for sale. Most of it is sold. It’s all pretty great. Check out Flounder Art.
I am actually thinking about buying this one…

David Hasselhoff has obviously been blessed by god. Every piece of shit that this guy touches turns to gold. Take singing for example. The guy can’t sing. He’s total shit. Sounds like me doing drunken Karaoke on 32nd street with a 12oz can of bud for a microphone. Somehow, this guy becomes a pop sensation […]
It’s nice when the animal kingdom can be trained to be more like us. Like talking parrots on a pirate’s shoulder, and water-skiing squirrels on That’s Incredible. His name is Twiggy, by the way.
What’s really nice is when a so-called “handicapped” dog learns to walk around on two legs. No problem. She just walks […]
I TiFauxed MTV’s True Life tonight. It was about Muay Thai fighters. Two westerners, students of Master Toddy in Las Vegas, who train hard and then go to Thailand to fight “bare knuckles” for the first time. It was pretty good. One of the fighters came across like a real dick (Kit Cope), and the […]
The 9/11 Report has been released. As usual, everyone will have SOMETHING to say about it. I read the executive summary and recommendation and found it fair and balanced and level headed and bi-partisan. It might be one of the better reports to ever come out our fine Congress. Considering the way they were pissing […]
I lost my way. Brooke Burke and Jessica Alba topped my list of hottest girls on the planet for a while. Somehow, somewhen, somewhere in there I forgot about my all-time favorite. The hottest, most beautiful woman in the world, maybe of all time, Heidi Klum. If you doubt this, here’s a great gallery of […]
Lance Armstrong won his 6th Tour De France this morning, by an unbelievable 6+ minutes. Six in a row is an insane record that will likely never be broken. As I watched some of the events, I just I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I have never followed the Tour before, but this time […]
Finally. Somebody took the time and effort to write the rules down. Thank you so much. I had more fights about this as a teenager. Turns out I was wrong most of the time. Go figure.
Study Shotgun!

Jason Kronenwald is an artist who makes beautiful portraits of beautiful blond women, entirely out of chewed gum. All different kinds, all different colors. No dyes are used. According to the website, he does not do all the chewing himself. Sweet. Check out the collection of Gum Blondes.

I don’t know how many of you will remember the old-school game, Lemmings, but it is one of the best games ever made. So simple, so addictive, so cute. I remember playing this for hours and hours when I was in college, on my roommates 386 PC. Awesome game. Well, some nerd has reproduced the […]
This Vietnamese pot-bellied pig named Otis eats a little lettuce at the Central Park Zoo.
He would taste delicious with gravy and mashed potatoes.
Here I am once again, wide awake in the middle of the night. Bad weekend sleeping habits are partially to blame. But it’s more than that. Sunday nights seem to stir up thoughts and emotions and fantasies and fears and plans and ideas and creativity, like no other night in the week. My head is […]
Aqua Teen Hunger Force is best fucking show on TV. I can’t encourage you enough to start watching it. Every night. Midnight. Adult Swim. Cartoon Network. High.
I ordered the DVDs. They should be here tomorrow. TVHome.com has a page on show with all the important info so you can get up to speed. This site […]
I have written about Stephanie before. She has a blog. It’s really very good. Her writing style is raw and honest and clever and touching and on and on and on. Her photos are candid and luscious and in focus most of the time. She’s really pretty good looking also.
I have known all this […]
If you don’t know who Barack Obama is after last night, your head is buried deep in the political sand. I didn’t know who he was before last night, I’ll admit… but I do now. And I am blown away.
I am decidely republican. I am more moderate than the Rush Limbaugh’s and Sean Hannity’s of […]
onStar has released a new version of their service. Here is an actual call received on BlondeStar. Hilarious. Enjoy.

Some of you might remember when I purchased the Perilous Predicaments prints from Kevin Redding (reddink.com). I had them framed and they now hang in my dining room. I love them.
In a recent round of follow-the-links on linkd-up, I came across the personal website of the guy who made the flyguy game, Trevor VanMeter. I […]
The poeple over at eBoy made a great site for the Canadian Cellphone provider, Solo. Solopixel.com is pretty awesome. This Stone Cold Steve Austin is pretty cool. Take a look.

MSN has a streaming version of Pearl Jam’s entire latest 2-disc concert album, “Live at Benaroya Hall“, for free, right now. All you need is Windows Media Player, and you can stream down the whole concert. I listened to the first few songs already, and it sounds great. I know some of you are […]
