  • It’s cute, it’s geeky AND it’s almost useful.

    There are worse ways to find out the current weather situation:

    Clicking the image takes you to weatherpixie.com, where you can generate your own Weather Pixie. Enjoy.

    I should find a sensible way to work some of these geeky clickable things into the site without creating too much clutter. Maybe a dedicated “toys” page is the answer. If you have suggestions, I’m open.

  • Talk about your close captioning!

    In lieu of actually having anything interesting to say about the last couple of days, I instead direct you to The Caption Machine. Enjoy.

  • A clear sign that the “e-” thing has gotten way out of hand.

    The Angry White Girl has a clever bit of sarcastic fun at the expense of today’s winner for the ‘Whatever It Is You’re Smoking, Stop Now’ Award, eBunintheOven.com.

    No, it’s not cute. It’s not clever. It manages to be extremely lame and extremely creepy at the same time. How bad is it? I cite this example statement:

    The ordering individual will fill out who they want to eImpregnate, and list their own and the recipient’s physical traits (eye color, hair color, and skin tone). This information lets us create a customized baby for the two parents based on a random algorithm of their physical traits.

    I feel dirty somehow. By the way, what’s a “random algorithm?”

  • “Under God” Judge Not Fazed By Reactions

    Via Q Daily News, it turns out that the good Judge Alfred Goodwin isn’t taking the firestorm of flag-wrapped controversy any more seriously than it deserves. Good for him.
    Goodwin Isn’t Fazed…

  • Bizarre Search Query Theater

    If you don’t host your own website, perhaps you don’t know the strange fun to be had perusing the list of search queries that bring visitors to your pages. I get a lot of “cowboy bebop mp3” searches as well as “transparent concrete” queries (no, I don’t know why). The “pink hello kitty laptop” craze drew at least one visitor, as did the “oral sex donations” article.

    A new one appeared recently: “gundam wing circle jerk”.

    Everyone repeat after me, “Eeeewwwwwwww!” I’ll never look at Quatre the same way again…

  • Not Ebert, nor Roeper. So what?

    What do you know, it’s an anime DVD review. If you’re into blonde babes who kick butt (and who isn’t?) you might want to read my review before picking up this particular release.
