Randall Munroe

Believe it or not, this guy is my hero (for the day at least).
Though only a tender 22 year old, he has managed to work for NASA as a roboticist (and robots are freakin' cool), stop working for NASA, and is now supporting himself solely off of his cartoon blog xkcd (which I mentioned earlier this month).
He has also created bestthing - a project trying to determine the absolute best thing. It has gotten pretty good - at number 1 is:
Finding out that you can fly, and just never knew it
I salute you Randall!

Edit: Interview with Randall at Redhat.

Mosomedve Artwork


These seem so familiar, but I was too lazy to go googling where I've seen them before.

I know we've all asked ourselves that at least once...

Ben

Parodies on the whole 'picture every day for the past X years...' theme are plentiful. This one is well made.

Reflections


A nice little puzzle game that will supply you with a few hours of thinking. Or possibly an aneurism.

Not as exciting as the last, but colourful without a doubt.

They also have the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East!

Pumpkin


With Halloween just around the corner (which, incidentally, is also my birthday cough cough...) you'd better start brushing up on your carving skills.

My Name is Earl

Just a reminder - Allfg.org has lots of new shows on - enough to waste me a lifetime...
My Name is Earl is now on there, and is well worth a watch.

The Behemoth

As somewhat of a novelty, Wenger have produced this giant-all-including Swiss Army Knife. Yields all 85 tools ever to be seen in a SAK.
How handy.

Chad and Steve Sell


Google bought YouTube for 1.65 billion dollars. These two are the smug sellers.
Even with all their money, they still can't legally marry.

This is the most badass I've ever seen anyone go on a trampoline.

Floating Shit

Ariel assured me this is a simple example of super conductivity, and that they do this at the institute on a regular basis.
Damn super scientists.

The entire video just went past me, I was that mesmerized by the guy's moustache.

South Park Vs. WoW


The South Park guys' most recent episode is about none other than World of Warcraft - the ever so popular game that has robbed gamers around the globe of millions of productive hours.
They paint a pretty accurate picture of online gaming and culture.

It could do with some Leeroy Jenkins, but it's a great episode as it is.

Incongruities in the episode are now on wikipedia...

Hubble Picture


Behind the piece's pompous title, and after some numa numa kid, is a cool video about space - above and beyond. Might make you feel kinda small...

Video Budget

Music videos are rather expensive. This one cost 15$ - the rest of the money went to 3rd world propaganda. Makes you think.
