Thief!

Hey, my last post got a ton of traffic and as much as I front about being a hardened, cynical, internet jerk, I was pretty pleased with my post and the results.

Unfortunately, some other jerk also really liked it and STOLE THE WHOLE THING.

They just reposted my entire entry without giving me credit or even a link. Not a snippet, not a cut and paste: they just tooked it.

Not Cool, internet. Not freaking cool at all.

Here, look at my post mysteriously appearing on this other nonsense blog.

Thief!

And they put a giant cat over my post! Oh the humanity! Oh the suffering and degradation!

So loyal minions! Why dont you all drop by the thieving site

and let them know that stealing other people’s rants is not cool.

Go! Do My Bidding! Fly My Pretties! Fly!

The Internet Is Dumb and This Is Making It Dumber

There are no words to describe this - only faint twinges of self-loathing and technophobia.

Just Bring It

This is classic.

The Arrow of Time

Maybe you’ve seen this interesting page by Argentinian photographer Diego Goldberg entitled the Arrow of Time.

Half art installation, half family history and half really awesome – the Page shows the passing of time through a series of black and white photographs.

Every year, on June 17th, the Goldberg family takes photos of their clan in an effort to momentarily stop the passing arrow of time. The project sterted in 1976 with the comely couple and continues through the present.

The entire page is fascinating and well worth a click.

Also, the page links to an ABC news segment that features the internet art project.

I’ll save you some time and drop that link right here.
You’re Welcome.

Animal Splicer

The internet is a wonderful and sometimes scary place. It has given us access to thousands of books, millions of works of art and the thoughts and feelings of the entire planet.

It has also given us Animal Splicer 1.0

This is seriously some of the best time I’ve wasted on the web. I’m sure the fact that I stumbled over this internet gem while drinking my second Guinness of the afternoon didn’t hurt anything, either. This mad lab lets you combine any number of normal animals into unique and bizarre hybrids.

The sheer number of creatures to combine means that you can indulge those latent Dr. Moreau fantasies for quite a while (Don’t tell me I’m the only one who has them!).

Cross a Bee and an Octopus, pull the lever, and out pops a Beetopus, a spooky looking tentacled insect. A Frog and a Cockateil? You Guessed it, a Frockateil.

Again, maybe it’s the alcohol talking, but this silly toy really is worth a clickthrough. The drawings are crisp and cartoony and the enjoyment factor is actually present. The 1.0 is intriguing and leads me to believe that, given enough drunken links and closeted mad scientists, we could be treated to a newer and more disturbing animal splicing edition of this fun little time waster.
