Friendster’s Patent
Apparently Friendster owns the patent for social networking. I find this interesting as a former friendster and current myspace user. Should be interesting if Friendster issues licenses because it would effectively be a subsidy on their service by the bigger sites...

Mr. T’s Press Conference
On the verge of his Dr. Phil-like TV debut, Mr. T fields ridiculous questions from the press. My favorites: âMr. T, why do you pity the fool?â? âIs there a Mrs. T?â?
Grocery Lists Online
Finally a way to just download grocery lists! Instead of having to write out what you need... just download and print ones that other people have made. Seriously though this is a little like post secret or engrish .. except without the cache of exoticism found in...
Webisodes of the Office
The Office has free webisodes online As might be expected the web episodes feature secondary characters, are very short and not as well written as the regular show. Perhaps they have less faith in the web audience? Or maybe they think by giving an inferior but similar...
Deconstructing Coulter

Stories Read to You.
libri vox reads your favorite public domain stories to you. Pretty nifty.
The 48 Laws of Power
I think I understand intuitively the 48 laws of power. Probably because I read The Art of War at such a young age. What's weird to me is how this information is so public and yet so few people seem aware of it. I can name traits that I see in others. Here is what I...
Weird Al: Like a Surgeon
Ahhhhh... when I was a youngin'... 😀
King of Jews, King of Beers
Pretty clever graffiti artists make a fake budweiser ad
Geneva Convention Becomes Conventional Treatment
Bush Administration caves to Supreme Court Ruling Finally! Some sense is knocked back into our government!
Pole Position
Published in the Sentinel
This letter to a columnist got put in the paper -- actually I do moonlight as a city planner.. if only someone would hire me... :/ If you're curious here is the article I was replying to.
Borat the Movie
Borat Film trailer looks pretty crazy
The Colber-ro-shit
I've seen this episode twice on broadcast and this part makes me crack up every time.
