Sorry I haven’t written a lot lately, but here are a bunch of links to some pretty cool stuff:
“Songs of the Lukewarm Christian”
“Is this all there is to life?”
“Emergency Zombie Defense Station”
“Interrobang!? : (don’t ask, just read)“ “The are you good enough test”
Awesome “space painting” in under a minute. Depending on how many “cool things” you’ve seen today, this could be jaw-dropping once you realize what’s going on: Link.
Man, there were a lot of great headlines today. Not enough time to talk about the ones I want to, so instead I’ll direct you to my “Shared Items” from Google Reader.
Perhaps that will supplement you for a bit. For a brief explanation of those items, see my author page (click my name above this post) for the last 10 headlines I’ve shared, and why that stuff even exists.
Peaces.
I thought Spartan might get a kick out of this one in particular:
I know it’s already been on digg for awhile, but wanted to link up this page at Financial Hack for displaying a pretty cool list of dollar bill / money origami. Each one attributed/linked up - so that’s cool, too.
If you’re really interested in doing some of these yourself, as suggested by a commentator on digg, check out Clay’s site. He’s nice enough to include instructions (for this awesome shirt, for instance), and several links to more info if you’re interested.
Blue team, go!
Apparently there’s a guy at a barber shop here in Memphis cutting people’s hair with fire. Stumbled on the link at BoingBoing, to a Flickr set with several pictures.
What shop is that at? I’ve got to look into this…
Wikisource, like it’s sister Wikipedia, is a free library of public domain information.
Including, ‘but not limited to’, this 1877 translation of “Journey to the Center of the Earth” by Frederick Amadeus Malleson.
“This 1877 translation by Frederick Amadeus Malleson is considered the most faithful, though it has some slight rewrites.”
Yes, you can read the entire Jules Verne book right there online. Nifty.
I haven’t explored it thoroughly, but I imagine there’s a lot of cool, open information there. Public domain is awesome.
For ages upon ages mankind have asked them selves one all important question: Ninjas or Pirates? Well I present to you a website that dares to ask a different question, Ninjas or Golfers? I think the answer is most definitely Ninja. There is a lot of funny stuff on this site as well as a lot of historic info on ninjas for any who are interested. It even shows you how to make your own ninja mask out of a T-Shirt! What more could you ask for? http://www.entertheninja.com/
Just saw this over at Hackzine: Hypermiling: Hack Your Mileage.
There are a couple links to places around, including one to:
“…a mileage hacker who’s able to get 59MPG in a stock Honda Accord.”
And, from the article:
“It’s incredible, really, to think that by changing your driving habits, you can get better mileage in a standard car than is typically advertised for a hybrid!”
Definitely worth a look.
One of the web’s most popular links, in case you’ve never heard:
modestapparelchristianclothinglydiaofpurpledressescustomsewing.com
Surf around the site for awhile and you’ll find some very interesting information. Her husband will build you a wooden castle for your kids for pretty cheap, if you’re not interested in buying her modest cape-backed dresses or what-not.
This HTML tattoo is funny… But not awesome. I want to see more like this!
In other news: Some doofus tried to cash a check from God.
UPDATE:
Another HTML tat’ like the above.
Sure enough, there are places with image galleries of Geek Tattoos! Sweet. General Disclaimer: If you’ve never perused a tattoo site, be warned: some are edgy, and sometimes “revealing”. I didn’t check out this whole section, so browse at your own risk. (Unless of course you just don’t care).
