“groovy mother...”

Tonight’s “30 Rock”? Not *entirely* based on fiction.

Just what the internet needed… a vi clone implemented in JavaScript.

“The world’s largest (only) source of fake palindromes!”

Collected facts about Barack Obama. This needs to be a Chumby app.

From the “News article opening lines which blow your mind” file: “Some women in Springfield, MO are regretting their decision last week to get a tattoo from a door-to-door tattoo salesman.”

Bizarre tale of a plagiarised nature article appearing as dialogue in a trashy paperback romance.

“You are bidding on a rare chance to traumatize a treasured friend or relative with baffling, mind-numbing, mystery correspondence from abroad.” Hooray for the internet!

Pac-man as interactive fiction.

You have eaten another glowing dot!

This is a weird one — someone is scouring Flickr for photos of women in the back-seats of cars wearing their seatbelt.

Best use of a Phil Collins soundtrack EVAR! Quality bit of viral advertising from Cadbury’s.

Impressive shattering of all stereotypes about beauty queens *and* South Carolina.

Best video on YouTube? Possibly. 1,500 prisoners in the Phillipines performing the dance routine from the Thriller video.

Wikipedia page for the guy at the front of the line for the iPhone in New York. He’s quite the line-sitter!

Supreme Court judge Justice Antonin Scalia: “Are you going to convict Jack Bauer? Say that criminal law is against him? ‘You have the right to a jury trial?’ Is any jury going to convict Jack Bauer? I don’t think so.” No, really. Frightening.

Photoshop lets you have your cake and eat it.

I’d seen this advertised in Private Eye, but this is the first time I’d looked at the website. An alarm clock that wakes you up gently with one of 50 recordings by Stephen Fry.

The Scottsdale, AZ police department is running recruiting ads in the mens room at Fenway Park. I saw one last week, but really didn’t think it was an appropriate time to whip out my cellphone and take a photo.

A couple of hundred HD-DVD fanboys did an organized reverse-boycott, all purchasing HD-DVD discs on Amazon on the same day to try and prove… something. Not quite sure what.
