Link dump load-blowing

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
time for another damn link dump.

the more time passes between these posts, the more weird, wonderful and terribly lame shit i come across in my daily trudge through the netherregions of teh Internet. it's now been quite some time since i've posted any links, however, and i'll attempt to keep the quality reasonably high. enjoy.

  • I have no idea what the Number of the Day website is really all about, but I check it every single day.

  • What happens when you toss a camera in the air with the shutter open? Click to find out. It's probably not safe for the camera, but it's safe to say this is cool.

  • Everyone's visited these flash sights where you make "music" by clicking on random shit, but this is the first all-dub one I've come across. Suffice it to say you need speakers for this. Nothing obscene here, but probably not a good idea to do at work regardless.

  • It takes a big person to say "I'm sorry".

  • As soon as I win the lottery I'm going to give that pansy bitch who runs the Principality of Sealand a run for his money.

  • Just this morning I came across a purported CIA-written guide to sabotage of the Nicaraguan government during the 1980s. Something tells me this isn't exactly genuine, but pretty cool nonetheless... if only it were the right-wing governments they were trying to topple.

  • Here's one of those collective art projects where everyone contributes in real time to the creation of what always ends up as one big scribble. Two weeks ago I stayed up way too late at night playing with this thing; if you're quick enough you can scrawl out messages to see where people are from:
    "where r u?"
    "Moskva!"
    "cool"
    "Yes!"

    May take awhile to load properly, so be patient.

  • Despite it being nothing more than a clever marketing ploy by Coca-Cola, there's something kinda neat about the World Chill Meter... apparently the recent coup in Mauritania really has gotten people down.

  • And finally, some of the best jokes I've heard in a long time. Especially #2.

that's all for now.
