If the title does not convince you that it is time to consider sugaring up your pantry with a box of kids cereal, then maybe you should watch this YouTube commercial:
I will be honest, I did not even know they still made Golden Grahams but they were my absolute favourite when I was a kid and sick of Boo Berry’s…which totally used to exist.

The above black cube is a piece of conceptual art called “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” by artist Caleb Larsen. This is no ordinary black cube, However; it is perpetually selling itself on eBay. The box has a little computer inside, and as long as it’s hooked up to an internet connection, it checks eBay to see if it’s up for sale, and if it isn’t, automatically starts a new auction. The website will automatically forward to it’s latest auction. It’s a pretty interesting experiment, but whenever I look at it, I get a sinking feeling that we are seeing the first baby steps leading to a full on, future Cylon rebellion.

We have a second Around the Web Wednesday Post this week, folks! We just don’t know when to stop! But how could we not point out this fun twist on a classic?
First Person Tetris takes the classic video game, Tetris and gives it a new spin. Instead of having the blocks fall to the bottom of the screen, the blocks stay in a stationary position, and the screen rotates and moves around it. It’s quite disorienting at first, but it does add a very interesting dynamic to the game play. I’ve gotten surprisingly good at it, and by that I mean I’ve scored a point or two.

Here’s a video of 10 super nerdy party tricks, just in time for post Christmas and New Year’s celebrations (we know, our timing is impeccable). They’ll either highly impress all you show them to, or ostracize you all evening as that creepy, trick-doing weirdo, all depending on what kind of crowd you run with. Either way, it’ll make for a memorable holiday party.

Thinking about creating a commercial for a kids toy? Maybe it would be a good idea to not give your target market and their doting parents the heebee-jeebeez. But then again, this could work, too, right?

Entertaining Spam Comment
January 26, 2010 by admin
I like to read my spam comments before deleting them. Some of the spam comments that make their way to my blog are pretty darn funny. Whether it be because of the spelling errors littered throughout the comment, the complete departure from subject matter, or the fact that they are trying to sell me, a female, male enhancement products, I can usually get one good chuckle before performing my daily spam purge.
This morning I received a spam comment that was so ridiculous, I am compelled to publish it. Not in the comments section, of course, but here. Right up front in an actual post. Please forgive me if I do not give proper credit and linking to the spammer.
Come to think of it, maybe this is not a spam comment. Maybe people ARE making weird comments about me. Probably it is BryanDean, the guy who does our Around The Web Wednesday posts.
