Notes
Links and commentary on stuff I find interesting.
May 2010
Opera vs. Potato
Opera parodies the Google Chrome speed tests. Can you imagine Microsoft trying to make a joke like this?
The Jerry Seinfeld Program
New episodes of the popular show “Seinfeld”! Except without the original actors or writers, and the episodes are 1 minute long. Also, ideas are hard.
Link’s Barrel Beat
Beatboxing with the sound effects from Wind Waker.
Hair Conditioner
I'm gonna go ahead and suggest “Chewbaccar”.
The Big Caption
A complement to The Big Picture wherein jokes and statements are made using typography.
Instant subscription.
The Swinger
A “music hack” that makes any song swing by stretching the first half of each beat and shrinking the second half. Includes some brilliant examples.
MGS Peace Walker “Carboard Box” Ad
I was never a huge Metal Gear Solid fan, but I love the fact that the box is now considered possibly the series' most identifying feature.
Bing’s response to the Google Pac-Man logo
You should hit up the Google homepage and try that today, if you haven’t.
Michael Buble Being Stalked By A Velociraptor
Since I'm linking Wonder-Tonic, I have to mention this too.
HTML5 Zombo.com
Finally, you can view this classic on your iPad.
Meet the Sloths
Dawwwwwww
Feed the Animals Sample Visualizer
See all the samples used in Girl Talk’s Feed the Animals appear in real time.
Chicken Monkey Duck
The first single off of Mike Phirman’s new comedy album.
Portal is Free
Here’s hoping the sequel comes out soon.
Panic runs Jed’s Other Poem
They were asked to run this Apple ][-based music video, but lacked the necessary cassette deck to load the source code. What they didn’t lack was an iPad. The result is “like WALL-E connecting to EVE.”
SMBC: Philosopher vs. Engineer
“You guys have any harder ones?”
The Humble Indie Bundle
What an awesome deal: pay what you want for five great indie games. All work on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Just three days left!
Paul Rudd’s Computer
I too like to start my day with a cup of coffee and Celery Man.
