  Quite possibly the most delicious thing I have ever seen. It's a patent application for the process of... patent trolling. Brilliant! Even better, the applicant is... Enron! Ah, that metallic tickle in the back of my brain is the delicious taste of irony.
- Pink Terror by Mike Barzman
  Fun and games with a Phantom HD high-speed digital camera. The Stephen Hawking q&a set to music is a nice touch.
- I'm on a horse - More Old Spice advertising
  This is the one that aired during the Super Bowl. Spot on.
- Old Spice Commercial featuring Bruce Campbell
  Old Spice advertising has been on a bit of a roll the last few years. The ads are clever and funny and seem to appeal to both guys and girls, if A can be relied on as an example.

  Librarians and technopundits have been figuring that the web would eventually kill or at least significantly alter scholarly communications over the last decade, but that hasn't been the case. This is an interesting take on why it hasn't happened yet.

- Onion Moon Landing
  The Apollo 11 moon landing as interpreted by the Onion in their usual inimitable style.
- New York Nearest Subway
  New iPhone application that scratches the surface of the augmented reality possibilities.
- So I guess I got kicked off another My Little Pony Forum
  This one's an oldie, but I can't help laughing every time I stumble across it.
