Thats one small step for manimals ...
One great thing about the usenet is that it introduced me to a lot of really fucked up things, all at a time I was fairly open minded. While most of them were repulsive, some of them were just downright funny and confusing. Like furries for example.

Now I know that they are at the bottom of the geek hierarchy. And thanks to Kitty, a soul brave enough to try to crash a furry convention, I now misunderstand more than ever.

RUVAIN2?


I used to have the license plate SLACKOR, but I gave it up. I had thought about getting 1E100, which is googul in scientific notation. Maybe if I had, I'd have been allowed in the gallery of geeky license plates.

No Thanks
Margaret Cho isn't very thankful this holiday. Of course, she's right. But I'm still addicted to cranberry sauce that is shaped like the inside of an aluminum can.

Put the fucking lotion in the basket
Silence of the Lambs: The Musical. Self explanatory.

One time... at band camp...
Grouphug is a place to anonymously confess things. It's also absolutely hilarious. Sometimes I check out the random confessionals and it always makes me feel better about myself.

"I'm lost Frodo, lets find a netCafe and check Mapquest."
Walking directions to Mordor. Boy, I wish I had my laptop with me last time I was lost in the shire.

What to do if your Mom discovers your blog...
Apparently the Onion article about a made up mom discovering a made up blog prompted some real-life bloggers to write in to the Blogger help to ask for advice on what to do now that their mom knows about their blog. Fortunately, the always helpful guys in Blogger were able to come up with an answer.

The Average of Everything


Jason Salavon is an artist that deals in averages. He has done a lot of artwork that deals with a far removed view of images. The image I have shamefully stolen is a still frame of every second of Star Wars, arranged by luminosity.

Bootstrap the Blank Slate is pretty cool. I didn't realize I could be so avant-garde.

How is a duck?
Ze has a lot of neat little flash thingies. But my favorite has to be the Buddhist game. It will blow your perception of reality away. And it's a little bit like Q*Bert.

Ye Olde Fortran was flowing heavy


Bender just got back from Vegas, and sent me some pictures from his trip. I didn't know he knew so many celebrities. But Celebritybot 9000 was conspicuously missing.

"This blog is like porn for her."
Every once in a while I forget about The Onion, and when I remember, it's like meeting an old friend for a night of tequila and strippers. Recently, this article about a bloggers' mom finding out about his blog had me laughing out loud like one of those laughing monkeys at work. Since there was a plug of Blogger in the picture, I could always claim I was "researching."

Blogging the freeways
This guy has dubbed the act of putting anti-war slogans on freeway overpasses as freeway blogging. I noticed one on my way back from Sacramento this past weekend that said "Quagmire Accomplished." According to freewayblogger, most tend to be both very political and somewhat humerous, in a morbid and ironic sort of way.

Friendster for Dummies
So you have joined Friendster. (You have, haven't you?) I've been spending some time off and on surfing through my personal network, which has grown to almost 500k freaks. And I don't have a lot of friends. I don't get these people with 499 friends. Giving out friendster invites like so much free love.

Fortunately, my understanding of these people got a little easier thanks to this handy guide to Friendster photos. I swear that guy on a couch with a beard is me, but I don't seem to remember that picture getting taken.

Moot
A new search engine called Mooter isn't designed by engineers. Because who needs engineers to design your software. They only make things confusing.
