State of This Blog

I'm sure you noticed that I haven't posted in a while.  There's actually no good reason. With that said, I'm not quite sure where to go with my blog.  I've been doing it for about 5 1/2 years, but it's not something that I enjoy doing that much any longer, and I'm not sure how relevant it is either with all the changes online since then.  This started out as a way to share the silly links that I found online, but now there are so many more ways to do that, and so much more material being thrown at you.
I do want to thank everyone for reading over the years and for your feedback.  Who knows I may start it back up some day.  I'm around on twitter/plurk and email which are all linked on the right side of the screen.  If you did enjoy this blog and want similar links, here are a few links that I'll leave you with.

Strangely enough I got a lot of my materials from those three sites (probably in that order too) and things friends/family sent me.

History of the World Video

Kalle Mattson - Thick As Thieves (Official Video) from Kevin Parry on Vimeo.

 This is a neat little stop motion video of the "history" of the world including a brief section with aliens and robots. 

A Tree From Bottles

The article calls this city that made a Christmas Tree from Bottles frugal, but I call it smart.  If you have a lot of garbage you can reuse, you may as well do it and do it creatively.  Not only are they reusing what may otherwise be garbage, but they're saving an entire tree in the process.  Another plus, it looks really great and unique. 

The Internet Justice League

Let's face it, the Internet has some amazingly super-powerful sites. One could even say that they are Super Heroes of the Internet. Here is a College Humor article creating the Internet Justice League.  Poor Google Plus is always the butt end of the jokes.  

Damon Claus for a Cause

Matt Damon is a pretty funny guy no matter the situation.  I thought this was a neat advertisement for the water.org water bottle that he did.  

Gameboy's Super Mario Land on Minecraft

There's no shortage of impressively creative Minecraft videos on YouTube, but I found this one particularly interesting.  It's the classic Super Mario Land  for Gameboy recreated using Minecraft blocks.  As opposed to embedding the video, I'm linking to the Boing Boing article that explains how it was made. 

25 Foods You'll Never be able to Eat Again

Over the years, I've seen many food products come and go out of style. Some I was glad to see, others, not so much. A Facebook friend linked this "25 Foods You'll Never be able to Eat Again" article the other day and it got the nostalgic juices flowing.  Just like old cartoons, I'd be willing to bet, if you tried one of these items today, it wouldn't be as good as you remembered.  A while back, I did a search, and you can still buy unopened Crystal Pepsi bottles/cans on ebay.  

Where is the Girl

I got a good laugh out of this, but I wonder how often stuff like this happens

60 Alton Brown Facts

We've all seen the Chuck Norris lists online, but when it comes to cooking, Alton Brown is the Chuck Norris of cooking and deserves his own list. Here is a list of 60 Alton Brown Facts.
