First Person Maki
Via BeaucoupKevin.com, here’s one of my new favorite video clips: It’s from a camera placed on the conveyor belt at a sushi bar in Tokyo. This is exactly the kind of video that they should’ve put on the Voyager probe. If they’d had video sharing back then. Or video. Or sushi. Or Japanese people. (Japanese…

Best News Headline of the Week
From the My Yahoo! page: “Uh hello I am not an amputee I prefer to be called a Stump American thank you very much. And I don’t see why you gotta be making fun of my cancer and shit. Bad enough I gotta be drinking all this water without you talkin’ shit about my stump.”

The Hits Just Keep On Coming
The whole Rifftrax thing has been accreting coolness like an asteroid belt; eventually I’m just going to have to be redirecting this site to that one. What’s cool now is they finally got Mary Jo Pehl to do one. She played Mrs. Forrester on “Mystery Science Theater” (and also Jan in the pan from The…

Best news quote of the day
A somewhat gruesome story about a pair of Long Islanders keeping two women as “slaves” still managed to yield this totally awesome quote: Authorities uncovered the alleged abuse after one of the women was found by police wandering outside a doughnut shop Sunday morning wearing only pants and a towel. It’s awesome on two levels:…

By the Power of Grayskull!
From the Something Awful forums, here’s a link to a clip of a public access show broadcast in Atlanta, hosted by Alexyss Taylor and her mother. Notice a couple of things: it’s from the Something Awful forums, I haven’t mentioned the title of the show, and I’m not embedding it directly here. You know what…

Fans of Lore Sjöberg’s, especially the Book of Ratings, should take a look at his latest experiment. I’m a fan. It’s one of the only cases where adding all the new media internet video podcast hoopla actually improves the original material.

A Million Little Pieces
I’ve wasted way too much time today reading the internet hubub about how a webcomic was ripped off by an art thief. Actually, “art thief” isn’t as good a description as “some dude who makes crappy drawings from internet catchphrases and puts them on T-shirts and paintings and has made obscene millions doing so,” but…

Idiot Box
Back when I was writing columns for SFist, one of the things I kept harping on was that Apple should make a DVR. If they could do for television what they did for the iPod, that’d be huge, right? An interface for TV as slick as OS X, without as many of the weird limitations…

Two more of my favorite things
The planets must be aligning or something. I saw that two more of my favorite things are coming together: the RiffTrax guys released a track for the pilot episode of “Lost”. I haven’t listened to it yet, but of course I bought it the second I saw it and realized what it was. This RiffTrax…

See more of the internets!
The internets are way way too big for only six links. I waste enjoy at least four hours a day looking at stuff on the computers, I’ve got a lot more stuff to recommend. Making Light: I got in trouble a while ago for calling this site a hotbed of liberal propaganda. When the country…

See the internets!
Thanks to the Sam & Max games, Google searches by friends from back East, and the fact that for the first time in recent memory I have friendly neighbors, a lot of new people are discovering this website. I feel obligated to point out that there are a lot more interesting places on the interwebs…
