Dope Shotgun

  • The Dianetics Racing Team - Ignite Your Potential! (wtf, religion, sports)
    • Yes - Scientology is sponsoring a NASCAR racing team.
  • Crazy Tuesday grades are due soon… (music, video, humor, funny)
    • “Wer’e the boys from Social Studies - Check our dope rhymes.” Two Concord, MA teachers rap about their school day.
  • la la (p2p, shopping, trading, music)
    • Legally trade CDs online. You list CDs you want to trade, list CDs you want to get. The system will charge you $1 to receive a CD plus 49 cents shipping. A cut of the money goes to an artist fund, you get a legal CD.
  • Kitten vs Frontrow (animals, funny, video)
    • Too cute not to post. It's a kitten interacting with MacOSX frontrow software on a Powerbook. Meow! He's tryign to grab the icons and having a grand old time.
  • weirdurinal.jpg (wtf, images, funny, weird)
    • Possibly the most nightmarish urinal I’ve ever seen.
  • Young FrankenSteve (funny, video, windows, satire)
    • The “Steve Ballmer monkey boy” video is given a new lease on internet meme life with this mashup.
  • Eugene Mirman (flash, funny, wtf, music)
    • A creepy and strange crooning child flash thingie. You choose the song.
  • The Flipping Point — How the evidence for anthropogenic global warming has converged to cause this environmental skeptic to make a cognitive flip (articles, news, science, skeptic, politics)
    • Committed skeptic Michael Shermer thinks the tipping point has come from skepticism to activism in the global warming debate.
  • Turbulence (art, radio, media, sound)
    • When I was at SMU (now UMass Dartmouth) the radio station played this mesmerisingly weird show called “Turbulence.” I think it’s related (looseley? incidentally?) to this (now online) art project. No way to tell for certain.
  • Jackson Pollock by Miltos Manetas (art, drawing, fun, graphics, flash)
    • If you ever wanted to be Jackson Pollock, now you can be with the minimum of muss.

It's the pandas on the collar that really make the urinal special.

I'm supposed to be prepping for my show, and instead I'm sitting here watching the kitten video and giggling.

Thanks James.

If the show sucks today, I'm blaming you.

Interesting. Do you think Shermer's flip could be indicative of a trend? I think Gore's movie is well timed. I'm sure the right will find a way to twist it against him. "Al Gore invented global warming."

The kitten video was pretty cute. Our cats do this too, when I am working at the computer if they wander by and notice the cursor moving it's up on the desk and try to grab it!

Sometimes I have all three of them sitting on my desk in rapt attention as I move the cursor back and forth from one side of the screen to the other, with all their heads following it in unison.

Someday I want to play music on the PC and move the cursor in time with it and capture video of them "swaying to the music". ;-)

Definitely, you should make that video. Put it on a web page with ads. Watch the revenue pour in.
