Too busy: someone else have fun with this

So I'm swamped, but this movie was promised to be cool. It's created entirely from open-source content (i.e. nothing here was created for this piece). Report back all thoughts and comments.

Sitting in Mud Puddles

So sad! I got busy, stopped writing, and now no one will look at my blog. Sniff, sniff. "Bring the coolness back" the People say. And the People are always right.

Well, if you want something even cooler to look at than this sad excuse for a blog, go to Google's competition/imitator for maps. Seems Yahoo!'s trying to get back in the game. It's about time.

The Simpsons Come True

Anyone remember when the Simpsons had a three-eyed fish? Well, it’s come true (sorta) off the coast of So Cal. Should we be worried? Hell yes! When the Simpsons starts coming true, we’re all in trouble.

To Click or Not to ...

Will you be hit by the nasty clicking monster? I'm betting yes. See how much faith I have in you guys? Have fun exploring...

Darwin is Dying

I thought 3 posts in one morning was enough, but then I saw this. Pulled directly from NYTimes.com:

According to a CBS News poll last month, 51 percent of Americans reject the theory of evolution, saying that God created humans in their present form. And reflecting a longstanding sentiment, 38 percent of Americans believe that creationism should be taught instead of evolution, according to an August poll by the Pew Research Center in Washington.

Anyone know what Europe is up to on this topic? Are they laughing at us?

T-Shirt Site

Like Threadless.com, but political: SharpAsToast!

p.s. Currently addicted to Blur's song “Tender.”

Google maps on phones

Now this is just damn cool: cell phones to get Google maps. These actual maps are better than Yahoo directions offered for past phones. Unfortunately, if your phone is Verizon or you want it on your blackberry, it will not work for you... yet. You also need Java on your phone.

Jesus Tree

I love stuff like this: a tree looks like Jesus. (If that link doesn't work, try this ABC story). Actually, I found this kinda cool AP wheel that might be worth exploring. I loaded it from the comcast.net home page, so you might have to access it that way.

“I’m Dead Gone on You”

Imagine having your love immortalized forever. Sounds appealing, right? Not when it's done this way...

The Search for Meaning

This makes searching a lot cooler! Wanna find a book and see if there’s a movie that goes with it and then want to see if anybody’s mentioned it in a blog recently? Easy as Amazon (a special, cool Amazon: don’t avoid this link just because you think I’m sending you to normal dotcom-ville)!

Now here’s a challenge: find something about this site you wish it could do but doesn’t. Then tell me about it here. Prize for whoever comes up with the coolest idea...

Calling ‘bullshit’ makes things happen

“If people expect you will ask them tough questions, and not hesitate to push them hard until you get answers, they will prepare for them before they meet with you. They will not waste your time.”

Anna Nicole Boob

Anyone surprised that Anna Nicole’s lawyer is named Howard Stern. How fitting! It’ll be strange to see them before the Supreme Court.

There is Shit in the Meat

1. Though we can recall dangerous toys or cars, the USDA cannot recall meat filled with deadly contaminates.
2. Among the top 25 House representatives who receive restaurant industry funds, only four were Democrats between 1987 and 1996.
3. The Reagan and Bush adminstrations staffed the U.S. Department of Agriculture with officials far more interested in government deregulation than in food safety.
4. In a USDA study in 1996, 78.6 percent of the ground beef contained microbes that are spread primarily by fecal material.
