Aces Full of Links: I Never Promised You a Shotgun

I Never Promised You a Shotgun

But I'm going to give you one anyway:

Mind the Blox (game,flash)
- A cute twist on a familiar game idea.
The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks (grammar,blog)
- Someone has a punctuation fixation. Haven't we all had a little urge to start a blog like this?
Cake Wrecks (cake,food,blog)
- Bull sent along this blog of failed cakes. in other words, cakes with the same success as the Bush foreign policy (my metaphor, not his).
Geeky Cake Designs (food,cake,pictures)
- More cake - It's geeky cakes. Cake for geeks. You know, food for nerds.
YouTube - Fly To Paradise (Al Paradise) (dancing,80's,video)
- Our foreign video of the week is a flashback to 80's dancing. Also proves that just because you CAN dance a certain way, doesn't mean you should.
TMBW: The They Might Be Giants Knowledge Base (music,reference,wiki)
- Did you ever wonder *anything* about a They Might Be Giants song? This is the place to don't let's start.

This week was BAFAB (Buy an Friend a Book) Week! I am a little late, but there's still time to buy a book for a friend, and I did just that this morning (Though I won't be able to give him the book until next week).

You can follow BAFAB on Twitter if you want a reminder in January to buy or give a friend a book.

I've started reading "The Singularity is Near" -- and thank you Chuck for sending me that book over the summer. It turns out they're making it into a movie, so I need to get cracking and read the book!

[Updated] Also, I had a post today on Regime Turnover declaring the basis by which we can conclude Sarah Palin does have what it takes to be VP!

[LATE ADDITION!] Kung-Fu Election - Play out the election Mortak Kombat style. Warning, violence and blood dominate this interactive game.

Finally, enjoy this Bourne Ultimatum parody that @wisekaren tweeted.
