Better sushi, better TV
From Entertainment Weekly’s blog, here’s more proof that the Japanese culture is infinitely superior to our own. Pan the Chimpanzee can do twice as many sit-ups as I can.

Take a wild ride with hot, screaming teens
The Disney Blog posted links to two videos recreating the Test Track ride at Epcot using the game Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. My favorite of the two is below. Test Track isn’t a roller coaster, and the other video looks a little bit more like the actual ride. But this one gets my vote for including…

Tonto! Jump on it!
Sometimes I’m forced to look into the very heart of my whiteness, and it’s astounding. It’s like walking down a long, white tunnel inexorably towards a blinding vanilla light. As I get closer I hear echoes of the Hellman’s Mayonnaise jingle and the white granny shouting “Where you at?” from cell phone commercials. Finally I…

Schadenfreudr© (beta)
When I was in the shower this morning afternoon today, I thought of a sure-fire idea for a new Web 2.0 service that is guaranteed to make billions. I’m giving it out for free on the internets so some enterprising young web developer can take it and make his fortune on paper until the next…

Get ready for some fun, it’s question number 1
I heard about this a while ago, but just got around to checking it out tonight: The Jellyvision guys have started putting daily questions from You Don’t Know Jack on their website. The series always was the best-written of any videogame, and it’s cool to hear topical material again. They’ve tried the online thing before,…

Not even on crutches!
On her blog, Rain says that this video audition for Stanley Kubrick is the funniest thing ever, and she may be right. People in the comments keep going back and forth about whether it’s fake, which is missing the point. Either way, it’s awesome. (My vote goes for “fake,” which somehow makes it even cooler).

Bad-touching the Internets
If you missed last Sunday’s “Venture Brothers,” like I did, because DirecTV sucks, and they broke their deal with TiVo to reinvent the wheel and release a buggy-as-hell crippled DVR that you have to use if you want HDTV but it breaks just a few days after you get it and so you have to…

Little Superstar
It came to my attention last night that there are still people on the internets who haven’t seen the “Little Superstar” video. There’s more details about it online, including the name of the movie and actors, and even the complete movie (which isn’t nearly as good as that one awesome scene). Do a Google search…

Hoboes
I mentioned a while back how much I like the work of Adam Koford, but that was before I’d seen his entries for the 700 Hoboes Project. There’s a ton of really clever entries in there. What impresses me the most is how he used the project as an excuse to experiment. He’s a kick-ass…

Dance Like the Internet is Watching
Where the Hell is Matt? has apparently been making the rounds on the internets for a while now. It’s a guy traveling around the world and dancing like an idiot. And it’s surprisingly cool.

Network Neutrality
I’d been reading bits and pieces about Network Neutrality for a while now, but for whatever reason I was never struck with how it’s A Really Big Deal. It took a post on Wil Wheaton’s blog to clue me in. Thanks, Wesley! This is a pretty messed-up situation. This post on the Huffington Post by…

I Should Know Better
I sold my old PowerBook on eBay, and I was so paranoid about getting shafted that I apparently turned off all higher brain functioning. Somebody’s running a scam where they send spam messages to eBay sellers. It’s done as a question from another eBay user, so it’s within the eBay messaging system with all the…
