Was browsing Boing Boing tonight, and found an excellent web site featuring all of our favourite celebrities of the internets, fighting for net neutrality. They have collaborated with Space 150 to create some amazing videos. Check out the music video at the “We Are The Web” site, as well as some great confessionals by the Tron Guy, Leslie Hall, and Peter Pan. The Tron Guy’s video is particularly awesome, check it out here:
This pair of maps show the global presence of Starbucks coffee shops and McDonald’s restaurants. When examined graphically, both companies act as global hubs that connect some of the world’s poorest, most remote countries with some of the wealthiest. Very cool yet freaky at the same time!
SomethingAwful brings us round two of the funniest (and sometimes, most horrific) of AOL’s search logs. Some hilarious stuff here.
Found on Spare Room:
Also check out Spare Room for all kinds of great stuff… my friend Nick alerted me to this blog today, and now I’m definitely a subscriber!

After Google purchased Writely, an online word processor along the same lines as their spreadsheet application, the door closed on anybody wanting an account but not having an invitation. According to the Writely website, signups were suspended until the service moved to Google’s servers.
Google just keeps pumping out these awesome tools! Analytics came last week, now Writely. Sure, they bought this program, but everything Google touches seems to turn to gold… just wish I had bought some of that stock.
The technique I used to ’shoot’ this kind of QTVR, within the game, is the same as shooting a QTVR in reality, except here I didn’t have a tripod, a camera, and a panoramic head!
Richard over at Renaissance Man posted this the other day, got a good laugh from it:
From this thread about U.S./Canada relations on the zefrank forums:
On why the US & Canada aren’t the best of friends anymore…
Canada and the US used to be great friends. We got into all sorts of trouble together growing up, chasing girls, crushing fascism, drinking beers, redefining socioeconomic norms for the entire world. Then one day the US suggests we go rob a liquor store. Canada bailed and reconnected with its old friends in Europe who were busy raising families.Interesting and funny on many levels.
