Snakes On A Plane

April 25, 2008 – 10:42 pm

It was only after I’d taken my seat and David Weinberger began his ROFLcon keynote that I realized there was a box of t-shirts at the side of the room with a sign over them that said something along the lines of ?FREE: t-shirts from worn out memes.? Thinking that the internet might be old [...]

Barbed Wire, The Deeper History Of

April 20, 2008 – 5:36 pm

It turns out that, like most everything else, barbed wire shows up at auctions. Not just shiny new stuff, you’ll find used stuff too. Expect it to be at least a little rusty, and look out for clumps of hair or other things stuck to it. Whether that adds value or not is unclear.
Where could [...]

Balloon Organ, Yes, A Balloon Organ

January 18, 2008 – 12:35 pm

In a piece that will have some people eagerly looking for some Afro Celt Sound System, others singing Where Do They Make Balloons, and some people just shaking their heads, this fellow, apparently standing in his bathroom, introduces us to another guy and his balloon organ. Really. Check this for more homemade organ fun.

Live In

January 9, 2008 – 12:03 pm

Mehran Karimi Nasseri, Sanjay Shah and Alex Ervasti all made their names living in airports. Now, comedian Mark Malkoff is hoping his one week stay at the Paramus, NJ Ikea store will do the same.

Inside Your Head

December 14, 2007 – 12:12 pm

Video found via a photo in Soffia Gisladóttir’s photostream. The suggestion that things go rotten inside a person’s head is very sad, but I’ve also suggested it to Zach for Moldy Snack.com

Seven Person Bicycle: The Conference Bike

December 7, 2007 – 12:15 pm

I saw this bike here, here, and here on Flickr, but nobody said what it was or where I could learn more. Some googling revealed it was Eric Staller’s ConferenceBike, first sold by Hemmacher Schlemmer. One person steers while all seven riders peddle, and it looks like a lot of fun if you’ve got a [...]

The War On Zombies

October 19, 2007 – 12:10 pm

From Kim to Zach to me to you: Bush Vs. Zombies.
Now we know: the guy doesn’t understand the difference between fact and fiction. Most people thought Shaun of the Dead was horror/comedy, not documentary. Poor W probably read The Zombie Survival Guide as an instruction manual (don’t show him How To Survive a Robot [...]

Smashitup Smashitup Smashitup!

September 28, 2007 – 12:01 pm

After all my agitating for small, cheap, fuel efficient cars (and automotive metaphors), I figured I had to post this picture (and a few others) from the demolition derby at the Hopkinton Fair a couple weeks ago. My video of the four-cylinder event is at YouTube.
Extra: I don’t know where it fits in your stereotype [...]

Mildly Funny Scenes I’ve Come Across Recently

September 14, 2007 – 12:46 pm

Not LMAO, certainly not ROFLcopter-ingly funny, but funny enough to want to snap a picture, and good enough for casual Friday here.
The boat in the parking lot, UPS vs. FedEx, and Hoe For Hire are all easy enough to understand (though they leave me open to easy criticism). The fourth photo is of [...]
