Cool Video

Here is a video posted on eBaum's World. It's stop-motion done with light painting with glow sticks. Music isn't bad either.

Breakfast of the Gods

I stumbled upon a web comic called "Breakfast of the Gods". It takes all of the breakfast cereal mascots and puts them in a graphic novel. This is something that they would never have done on morning TV! It's violent, and they use adult language. Some of them die, and some are really evil. You will either laugh your head off or be really repulsed by it.

Worst Rock Songs Ever

When you're bored and on the internet, the mind can come up with the dumbest things to find. For some unknown reason, I decided to find a list of worst rock songs ever. This one is from blender.com. For the most part, I agree, but there are a few that I actually like. E-mail me with ones you would put on this list and ones you would take off.

Japanese Cooking

I found this channel on YouTube called "Cooking With Dog". They are NOT cooking dog, but rather the dog is the host of Japanese cooking lessons. They are in English, but narrated with a heavy accent. I find them funny, whether or not it was their intention.

Amazing Johnathan

The Amazing Johnathan is a magician/comedian. More of a comedian than a magician, though. I never get tired of watching the clips on YouTube. Here is one of the clips I really like.

The Doctor!

Yesterday's post was an April Fool's joke. It was in a section of Snopes that has nothing but fake stories. But it still was a good story!

Does anyone else like this commercial as much as me?

Another Funny Video

Here is a video of a cat's first encounter with snow. Cute & funny!

Ping Pong

I ran across this again recently. It's from a Japanese variety show, and it's Ping Pong Matrix-style. Very funny!

Star-ving

David Faustino (Bud Bundy from Married with Children) has his own series of shorts on YouTube called Star-ving. They are over the top, very politically incorrect, and feature Corin Nemec of Parker Lewis Can't Lose as his friend. These episodes are NSFW, by the way.

Mental Floss

There is a e-zine called Mental Floss. It's another site that has lots and lots of useless trivia, quizzes, and lists that you can spends hours reading (like I just did!).

Here is the site:

Update to earlier post

I recently found out something about using RealPlayer to download videos off the web. You have to use Mozilla Firefox and download the extension than enables you to do it. I didn't know about it because the extension was automatically downloaded for me.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and don't drink too much green beer!

Visualizing Enormous Numbers

Here are two sites that help us to visualize really big numbers.

The first one is called the MegaPenny Project:

http://www.kokogiak.com/megapenny/

It's aim is just to show how many of a number looks like, and they chose pennies.

The second one is called "What does one TRILLION dollars look like?" And it shows you what it would look like if you had that much in cash.

Criminal Searches

Just how safe is it where you live?
You can find out with this website:

They offer free searches on people, neighborhoods, criminal alerts and statistics.

The Tap unplugged!

This is a great video to watch for anyone who likes Spinal Tap! From the House of Blues in front of the press.

Oddee

This is another website that is all about lists. However, this one focuses on "odd, bizarre and strange things of our world, its daily articles and sections explore subjects from Science to Advertising and Technology". I spent a long time on it the other day.


http://oddee.com

Spider

This is a short film from Australian Nash Edgarton. It's a story about a man and his girlfriend and how wrong pranks can go.

Find-A-Grave

I know this is kinda morbid, but it is kinda cool. Find-A-Grave is a website that lets you find out where famous people are buried. I guess you could plan a vacation with the help with this site. it includes pictures, maps, and a shopping page.

Fail!

Failblog is a website that highlights pictures and videos of people and animals that try to do things but fall short of their goal, whatever that might be. I've seen the pictures all over the 'net, but never went to the site until a friend sent me the link.

It's Time To Buy More!

I just found some webisodes for the TV show 'Chuck'. They're training videos for the Buy More company.

Weird Knowledge

There's a website that's really cool for weird and strange trivia topics. It's called The Straight Dope. It's written by Cecil Adams who writes for the Chicago Reader. There are several books that are collections of his column. Basically, it's people writing in to him and asking really oddball questions like: "Why aren't porn actors charged with prostitution?", "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" , and "How would the U.S. Military fight a zombie army?".

Fast Draw

This is a video of Bob Munden, who has probably the fastest gun draw ever. Amazing display in the embedded video.

What's The Harm?

I just watched a Penn Says on YouTube and he mentioned this website:

http://whatstheharm.net/

It has many topics and points out some of the problems that happen when you believe in certain things. It doesn't try to disprove anything or say that these beliefs are all bad. They just report the negative consequences that's happened to people who have tried these things. The site does try to promote critical thinking, which seems to be disappearing in today's modern society.

Lux Interior

Yesterday, Lux Interior passed away from a pre-existing heart condition in Glendale, CA.
He was the lead singer for the Garage Punk/Trash Rock/Psychobilly group The Cramps. I wasn't heavily into them, but I did have their album Bad Music for Bad People, which is a compilation of their better songs.

One of their most infamous stunts was giving a free concert inside the California State Mental Hospital in Napa. The video can be seen on YouTube. Below is a video for their song Love Me, which has Betty Paige footage as the video part.

Tip for Today

The other week, I moved a lot of files from my old hard drive to my newer one. There were some files that could only be played on RealPlayer. So, I downloaded the newest version of RealPlayer and looked at the files, and didn't think much more about it.

Then I started looking at videos on YouTube. A little tab popped up and asked if I would like to download the video I was watching. I thought 'what the hell', and tried it out. Now I can download just about any video I want from any website. The link is where you can download the player.

Internet Cocktail Database

This website is good for finding cocktail recipes. They have mainly have recipes for the old, classic drinks. There is a feature called the Mixilator, which will come up with a drink according to the information you input. Other features are: Strange Drink Chemistry, Daily Mystery Ingredient, and Random Recipe.

It's a fun website!

Quick Stop Entertainment

I was watching Sold Out: A Threevening With Kevin Smith, and heard for the first time about SModcasts. Of course, now I am in the middle of downloading a couple of them to see how they are. A SModcast is Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier talking about stuff for about an hour. Here is the link:

Plime

This is another website that has interesting links to stuff on the internet. When you click on a link, it opens up another window or tab. I usually check it out once a week so that enough new stuff accumulates.


http://plime.com/entertainment/n/

Boing Boing

Boing Boing is a site that touts itself as a "Directory of Wonderful Things".
They do have some fun stuff posted.


http://www.boingboing.net/

Leykis

I really like listening to Tom Leykis. A lot of what he says makes a lot of sense.
I don't agree with him 100% of the time, but he is still entertaining. Usually, I just download both hours of Leykis 101, which are on Thursdays, hours 3 & 4. Sometimes there are some interesting topics, and I'll download them as well.

Here is the link for the podcasts.

Learn Hiragana

I found this the other day. I couldn't stop laughing!
I needed this when I was in college for sure.

WOOT

I don't do much shopping on the internet, but there's one interesting site that I would shop on, if I actually had money. WOOT.com has one item for sale at a time, and it's discounted (one day, one deal). Some items are brand-new, while others are reconditioned. I only know of one person that orders from them and they really like WOOT.

http://www.woot.com

Go Comics

I like to read the comic strips everyday. Unfortunately, the local papers don't carry every strip I like, so I have to go online to read them. One website I like is Go Comics. Not only do they carry ones not available locally, but the Sunday ones that the locals don't publish.

http://www.gocomics.com/features

Angry Alien Productions

Angry Alien Productions is a website that re-enacts movies in 30 seconds with bunnies as the actors. So far they have done 53 movies, ranging from War of the Worlds(the original) to The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Big Chill. They all are funny, but some are NSFW or young kids.

http://www.angryalien.com/

Today's link is for Cracked.Com. This is the people that had the magazine all those years from 1958 until 2007. They have some of the funniest lists I've seen.

Cake Wrecks

Here is a funny blog I like to read every day called Cake Wrecks. It's pictures of professionally made cakes that go horribly, hilariously wrong.

http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/

LAist and MGM Channel on YouTube

LAist is part of a group of websites that have the name of a city and "ist" added to the end. It's a blog about things in Los Angeles like movie reviews, restaurant reviews, commentary on politics in L.A. and California, music reviews, and a bunch of other things. Examples are: Bostonist, Gothamist(for NYC), Torontoist, Londonist, etc. Since I've lived in the L.A. area, this is the on I like best(except for right now when they're having 80 degree weather and I'm here freezing!)

http://www.laist.com/

Also, I found this on YouTube:

I just finished watching Koyaanisqatsi that I rented from NetFlix. I really liked it and recommend it.
