Hollywood stars who do commercials in Japan while they think no one is looking. My personal favorites are Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wallace and Gromit and The Simpsons, and you've got to check out Michael Jackson's ad.

The Blog of a madman (the good kind). This guy is always throwing parties for his little scientific experiments: 'How much is Inside?' is a favorite recurring experiment:

He tested how much is inside a Sharpie pen by seeing how many CDs he could write labels for. After 2 months and almost 1000 CDs, he finally ran out of ink. It is this same exhaustive effort you will find in 'How Much Is Inside':

A bottle of mustard
A Keg of beer
Dust off
Print cartridges
Batteries
Lipstick
And more!

Flying spaghetti monster: the game!

The Flying Spaghetti Monster was an invention from a letter to the Kansas Board of education before a decision was made whether to teach 'Intelligent Design' in schools. After he posted a copy of the letter to his website, people somehow stumbled across it and it gained traction from there.

People who belong to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are called Pastafarians, and it is your job in the game is, as the 'FSM', to 'Touch them with your noodly appendage' and convert the masses to Pastafarianism!

All of the 'Black Friday' (first shopping day after Thanksgiving, where retailers have crazy sales to try to get you into their store) ads in one place. Lets you plan out where you want to go shopping and/or have fistfights.

A virtual recording studio with free instrument loops. Pick a key (the default is G to make it simple for you) and the site provides the right chords to use. Because they provide the chords and you simply choose their order, it's easy to make it sound good. Guitar, drums, bass, electric guitar and piano, with dozens of loops for each instrument.

A great site for people who want to write or record music, but don't play an instrument or can't keep a band together. You could also closely approximate a song you like by instructing the site to play the proper chords. A fun site to play around with or to use for something real.

or do a search for "lolcat"

A lolcat is the halfway point between dentist office posters and Linux geeks. Pictures of animals (usually cats) doing funny, cute or silly things with captions over the top either describing a possible scenario for the cat or providing words purported to be spoken by the cat. As cats are new at speaking English, it would stand to reason that their spelling and grammar is also terrible. This mishmash of unlikely bedfellows makes for some good laughs.

Funny video of the week:

The Skeletor Show

Or do a video search for 'The Skeletor Show'.

The 'Trailer' has strong language, but others are pretty family friendly. An overdub of the old He-Man cartoons, the Skeletor Show all but ignores the existence of He-Man, and focuses on the imagined doings of Skeletor and his minions, manipulating the raw footage and recording new audio to create completely unique storylines.

Made by Google, BrowserSync synchronizes your browser settings –
including bookmarks, history, cookies, and saved passwords – across
your computers. It also allows you to restore open tabs and windows
across different machines and browser sessions.
You do need a Google account in order to use this – because the data
is stored on Google's servers.
It's independent of OS – that is, you can synch browsers on a Mac and
a PC and on a machine running Linux, as long as you are using Firefox
1.5 or greater on all three.

Hilarious collection of submitted and found pictures of angry notes
left by people who want to 'get at' someone without actually being
there.

My favorites include someone who put cat hair into the mailbox of a
cat owner who habitually threw the hair out of her apartment window
while cleaning.

And anybody who has ever shared an apartment can relate to the many
notes left between roommates who no longer speak except in angry
missives left on bedroom doors.

Probably the best, just because of what it represents, is the café
employees who all quit at the same time, locked the place up, and left
the owner a note telling him what a terrible boss he was.

For people who are a bit torn about whom they like amongst the
Presidential Candidates, this survey asks you questions on 11 key
points – Iraq, stem cell research, abortion, gay marriage, the
economy, etc. – and how strongly you feel about that issue. You click
submit, and it then places the candidates in order of which platform
most closely agrees with your own opinions, and it shows you the
points upon which you agree and disagree.
Although this should not be the place to make your choice for a
presidential nominee, it's a good place to start.


Next week I'll talk about a website that turns your voicemails into
emails and text messages, as well as how to keep people who are using
your computer from going to specific web sites.

PermaTabs sets any web site of your choice as a permanent tab so you will not close it by accident, with the tab launching automatically when you start Firefox. A
simple key command (Alt+P) toggles the tab as 'PermaTab' or not.

An Australian company that provides flushable/degradable diaper liners
that snap into a cloth diaper. Velcro fasteners connect slightly in
back to keep kids from reaching them and opening their diapers. The
diaper will break down in 50-150 days (instead of 500 years like
regular disposable diapers). You can even compost the wet ones!?!?
