On the subject of modified Google searches: a black-screened "energy saving" Google search. The idea is that a black screen will require less energy for a computer monitor to display it than a white screen would. Read this article from Scientific America to help you decide if this is true or not.

elgoog - backwards for "Seriously confusing search engine"
0 comments Posted by Jake at Tuesday, June 09, 2009A backwards Google search. You must place your searches backwards as well, so if
you are searching for "Jake of the Web" you would have to type "bew eht fo ekaj". Also, the "Feeling Lucky" button is the default choice, but if
you choose Google results all the results also show up backwards. It
messes with one's mind.

"Auto-Tune the News" A strange hybrid between "The Daily Show" and T-Pain, this group uses an auto-tuner to get news anchors and news makers to 'sing' - and then they sing right along. Occasionally the humor gets a little more surreal, where an 'angry gorilla' shows up to sing along. Four episodes so far - they all hit more than they miss, but all are worth seeing. I could see this going places.

It's like the old handheld electronic game "Simon" the multi-colored memory game - only instead of beeps and flashing colored lights, you get four pictures of some guy's face making rude noises.

0 comments Posted by Jake at Tuesday, June 02, 2009A site created by artist couple Christine and Justin. They decide there is something they want but cannot afford. They paint a picture of the thing they want and put it up for sale for exactly the amount that 'want' would cost them.
"To See Showgirls"
"Drinks on Us"
