Hilarious blog where the author discusses everything from politics to meditation to business to art as though he were Steve Jobs.

You remember album sleeves, right? LPs? Vinyl? This site is full of pictures of people holding up album sleeves in front of themselves or others, creating delightful illusions.

There's a great one of the Gremlins soundtrack, Rolling Stones (Black and Blue) and a Barry Manilow album. Very cool. Must see.

What do you get when you remove Garfield from America's favorite unfunny comic strip? John Arbuckle, more pitiful than ever; alone and funny, talking to himself.

A personal web-based assistant. Notify her of an appointment or something you want to remember by email. She will notify you of appointments 15 minutes before they start (by default) by email or text message.

You can search your messages by topical tags (ie - @Birthday, @yearly, @family, @work).

You can also update it using Jott: (http://jott.com), allowing you to update your calendar by talking on the phone.

Great for someone who wants phone notifications of appointments but doesn't have a smart phone.

Will notify people of the same appointment if you CC Sandy on an email to that person, even if they don't have an account.

Classic animated video of an animation fighting the animator.



There is also an equally noteworthy sequel:

The game is hard as hell to figure out.
