That’s What Bea Said: I love this take on the meme!

Stargate Studios Virtual Backlot Reel 2009: it is astounding what they can do with green screens. There were a couple in there that I had previously thought were actually on location. {via}

An Actual Resumé: it certainly stands out from the crowd.

Tax Time!: wow, that’s faster than I would have expected. I guess “too soon?” will soon be said on the same day as the event.

Nerd Merit Badges: I could get them all save the BoingBoing one.

Epic Super Mario Land Rap: I had forgotten that there was even such a game. Game Boy nostalgia.

The 4 Big Myths of Profile Pictures: a dating site analyzes the effectiveness of various profile picture archetypes. Very interesting results.

Would You Have Spotted the Fraud?: no, I wouldn’t have. That is why I rarely use ATMs.

The Original ‘Wonka’ Kids All Grown Up: wow, it’s hard for me to even see them as being the same people. They’re just so … normal.

First-Person Tetris: awesome idea, highly disorienting in practice.

TSA Logo Contest: it’s a great idea from Bruce Schneier, but it’d get a lot better results if he had posted it to Fark instead.

Running from Camera: it’s the new phoon, as far as I’m concerned.

iPhone-Controlled Parrot AR.Drone May Be The Coolest Tech Toy Ever: something tells me this isn’t going to be priced to be competitive with the Air Hog.

5 Star Wars Status Updates: hee hee!

“Another Challenge for Ethical Eating – Plants Want to Live, Too”: I fully support those who would be persuaded by this sort of thing in their quest to abstain from eating anything.

How Programming Language Fanboys See Each Others’ Languages: hot on the heels of the operating system version.

The LOST Underground Art Show: that’s some pretty wacky fan art there. {via}

Hardcore Rollerblading: it’s too bad you couldn’t see the reaction of the motorcyclists he’s passing. Also, how does he stop? {via}

Fun with Coloring Books: darkly re-imagining some lovable characters.

Admiral Ackbar, Barista: love it!

The End of Chiropractic: and I say good riddance.

Google Living Stories: not a fan of the name, but the idea behind it is intriguing. It’s like a minimally-sourced, whiter-spaced Techmeme.

TruePower UCS Power Outlet With Built in USB Ports: until inductive charging becomes mainstream, this’ll do. {via}

Way Too Much: the dangers of overcompensation by mythical dental sprites. {via}

Emerald Cockroach Wasp: it uses the cockroach’s antenna as a leash. I christen this wasp as Nature’s Second-most Badass Animal. First? Oh that’s easy.

Divorce Lift: very creative ad.

Scroll Clock: mesmerizing.

My First Dictionary: twisted take on a child’s dictionary. Also: hilarious! {via}

Laptop Steering Wheel Desk: love the user-submitted photographs and the reviews. {via}

Google Translate: I love the new look and AJAXified translation. Avez-vous vu mon chat malodorant?

Awkward Suggestions: no one lies to a search box. Very fascinating. {via}

Pile o’ Otter Babies: this is for You Know Who You Are (though you’ve probably already seen this).

Fail-a-thon: oh this is terrible. So terrible. And a little funny.

Pacman: Pac-Man version run off of Google Maps. It’s a little rough around the edges.

It Made My Day: finally, a crowd-sourced anecdote site that doesn’t make me sick to my stomach. IMMD.

TR35 Profile of Michelle Khine: I love integrations like this.

List of cats with fraudulent diplomas: the comments in the discussion page seem to regard this article as unencyclopedic. I can’t think of anything more encyclopedic: Britannica wouldn’t touch this article with a ten-foot pole.

Twoogie: oh yeah. Update Twitter à la Doogie Howser’s journal. It’s damn slow, though: are they running it on his 286?

Regretsy: showcasing the shadowy, unfortunate side of handmade products. (Also, see Etsy WTF.)

The Sims Horror Movie: this is pretty much my every interaction with that game.

My Life is Average #1188975: priceless Halloween costume story.

It’s the Most Wonderul Time of the Year: that is a truly exceptional Halloween costume. I just wish the pictures were full length so I could see the rest of the get-up. {via}

Ditto: someone got to relax a lot more over the holidays.

I Gotta Feeling: well-orchestrated but I’m still partial to the first lip-dub I saw. {via}

Cats in Sinks: what is it with cats and porcelain?

Scrapple: mmm, hog offal.

Sniper Sniper!: uhh, practical jokes don’t generally end with needing to change your underwear.

“Dyson unveils blade-free fan”: it’s over-priced and gimmicky, but my hat’s off to rethinking common items.

My Suite Stuff: app-themed pillows—an excellent gift for the designer in your life.

Tauntaun Sleeping Bag: damn it. Back in my day, our sleeping bags were blue and we liked it. We loved it.

[UPDATE (11/12/2009): And here's the item for sale.]

Peanut Butter and Bacon Cookies: I’m intrigued and horrified at the same time. Mostly intrigued.

Ethical Dilemmas Involving Klondike Bars: funny concept.

High-Speed Robot Hand: the actual actions are pretty short but it’s still mesmerizing. {via}

Secret Life of Scientists: Web-only series from NOVA highlighting scientists. The first episode is about a leech expert.

Glenn Beck Raped and Murdered a Young Girl in 1990: I smell a nice libel suit from this one. I guess if you can’t combat his appeal, you’re forced to rely on insinuation and slander.

[UPDATE (9/11/2009): Sure enough.]

Chick Fil-A: it seems like it’s Sunday every time I want some.

Tampon Crafts: uhh, no thank you.

Angry Hitler Is Angry About Being Angry: this is the first Downfall re-subtitling that I’ve laughed at since the first one. Awesome!

Google Maps Street View of Kidnappers House: you can see the van in the driveway and if you start heading south on Walnut Avenue while looking north, you’ll see him following the Google Street View car. It’s, um, rather chilling—as is the whole story, of course. {via}

John Scalzi’s Guide to the Most Epic FAILs in Star Wars Design: good points, all.

12 Stunning Rooftop Gardens: pretty nice considering the inherent constraints. {via}

“It’s a Trap”: I would buy this if I wasn’t a recovering Star Wars fan. I’m not ready for a relapse.

Style-Your-Garage.com: vinyl coverings for your garage door. At just shy of $250 and for garage doors tiny by American standards, I can’t say that I’ll be ordering any although some look really sweet. Now doors, maybe.

Unusual Remote: it looks like it’s Surface-based (so it’d be an awfully-expensive remote) but man that’s sweet!

Lost University: can’t wait to enroll!

Pants Not Found: great t-shirts. I love the Eat Me and Goatse Donuts ones. I’d buy either the Star Trek or Star Wars if they weren’t on backorder.

Obama is Literally Hitler: the parallels are uncanny.

Moot Point: not normally a fan of Pedo-Bear, but dang if it didn’t work this time.

How long is it going to take?: yeah, that sounds about right.

“How Netflix gets your movies to your mailbox so fast”: I’d always wondered about this aspect of the Netflix operation. The secrecy is understandable.

Google Street View – Disneyland Paris: this is really nifty! I had heard that Disneyland Paris wasn’t as popular as Disneyland, but it looks completely deserted.

“Weird Al” Yankovic – CNR: good parody of The White Stripes and homage to the inimitable Charles Nelson Reilly, the original “famous for being famous” guy. (Side note: “Weird Al” has been on a tear lately with the Internet-released singles like “Skipper Dan” and “Craigslist.” Good for him!)

JK Divorce Entrance: spot-on spoof set to the same song. {via}
