Hide My Ass: free, anonymous web browsing. Great name.

Google Blogoscoped: it’s been awhile since I’ve seen a good, new t-shirt shop. I really like the “PageRank 10” shirt.

PetaKillsAnimals.com: I am generally in favor of anyone or anything that hates PETA. But I’m not sure that exposing this particular hypocrisy is all that effective. Animals have no rights, so euthanizing them isn’t immoral. If it’s okay for you, then it’s okay for PETA. Is the goal to end euthanization?

Errors in the Encyclopedia Britannica That Have Been Corrected in Wikipedia: this is one type of article that you would never find an analog of in a real encyclopedia. And it’s a reason why I love Wikipedia. {via}

Down to Georgia” for the First Time in 25 Years: funny. {via}

Sears Tower in Jenga: Jen-ga, Jen-ga, Jen-ga, RUN! {via}

SinceSlicedBread.com: come up with the best thing since, umm, you know.

Art of Greg Brown: not my dad, some other guy. He paints murals that are visually exciting and funny.

Remember The Milk: oddly named online to-do list application.

Staten Island Boat Graveyard: there’s something beautiful about abandoned ruins. I think it’s just the sense of how much time has passed or how far we’ve come.

Question for Cops and Detectives: a real detective’s take on his job.

The Shining Trailer: I’ve never seen The Shining but I’m pretty sure that the tone of this trailer doesn’t describe it well.

SaveMyAss.com: service that sends flowers to your significant other on a regular basis.

Best Buy or Best Lie?: hear, hear. Best Buy is one of the most obnoxious chain stores around.

CitiKitty: toilet train your cat. My wife’s grandmother had a cat that used the toilet, but it always seemed like an urban legend. On the other hand, there are fews things in this life that I’d rather not do more than training a cat to do anything.

Travels with Chicken: one man and his rubber chicken companion.
