Dot.com boom?
Single letter domain names being released. $1M+? Maybe I should have hung onto nwx.com.

Chuck Norris Kicks Your Ass
Facts about Chuck Norris:
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

Tara Reid’s nipples?
Last Sunday’s episode of “Family Guy” just reiterates my love for the show. “The Simpsons” were never so brazen (but it was funny in another way). “Family Guy” gets its humor from the strange, absurd, or uncomfortable things that it shows. Like a 2 minute chicken fight, or the PBJ time song. But it’s clear […]

Google SMS
I feel like I’m on a promoting binge here. Check out Google’s SMS info service. It’s saved me at least one on the road when I was lost and needed directions (and didn’t want to lose 20 minutes by trying to find a gas station for directions). And I’ve used to figure out the the […]

Sprint Messaging
I’m crazy excited. Sprintpcs forces you to use its website in order to text message someone (for free via the web). I was able to socially engineer (well not really socially engineer, more like convince) a customer service rep to give me the email address format to text Sprintpcs phones via email (1234567890@messaging.sprintpcs.com). This allows […]

Cultural Influence Maps
An update to crazymonk’s link to Common Census is in order since the map has been updated many times since its post due to the number of links that it’s been getting from blogs.
The map has become a lot more accurate. All of New Mexico isn’t covered by Albuqueque. People of Hobbs generally idenitify with […]

British Headlines
A British headline from my bookmarks:
Man fingers daughter in Elvis eBay cock-up.
There was an Australian headline a week or so ago on Fark.com about a sports team having to swallow [their pride over their loss to] the black cocks, but I can’t find it any more. Obviously doing a Google search for that news article […]

Peanut Butter Jelly Time
Tonight on “Family Guy,” Brian, the dog, dresses up as a banana and does the Peanut Butter Jelly Time dance, which took an old banana dancing animation and made a flash video of it singing to a really awful, but catchy, tune.
It makes me wonder if all those other random moments in “Family Guy” are […]

Football
The Indo Jew Bowl VI, a Thanksgiving Day football game in Skokie that separates the men from the boys . . . and the Shahs and the Mehtahs from the Engelmans and the Weintraubs.

surprise!
Do not open at work: From my list of bookmarks, a German site dedicated to “surprising” Japanese people. There’s no sound, but you should probably open this at home.

Nazi Forest
Probably offensive to most: oh yeah, the nazi forest. WARNING: has sound and is an annoying YTMND thingy. Other good YTMND thingies include the picard song and nigga stole my bike. It’s one of my favorite websites, but you need to be a little ingrained in internet culture and geekery to enjoy it. It’s based […]

Unimpressive Inventions
I came across this article on the most underrated inventions in history. It was kind of interesting to see how concrete changed the world. But the authors sometimes extrapolated a little too much. Horse collars allowed a farmer surplus which allowed an Adam Smith’s type professional stratification which destroyed the feudal system and allowed for […]

MMOs
During my first year of undergrad, I got hooked on Ultima Online, the first successful massive multiplayer online RPG. I remember playing for hours without embarrassment even as my roommate (you may remember him, doorframe) wondered what the hell I was doing. After a few months, I realized even with my massive amount of free […]

Nachoworld v.5
I thought I would start up the newest iteration of NachoWorld with a link of my former schoolteacher. David Cobb was a great guy. I must say that it really was a surprise to everybody at the school. He seemed well grounded. He was a Green Beret, drove a bike, had a normal […]
