The Meme Obfuscation Machine: I just whipped this up. It’s an easy way to mask a meme or prank. And I think the only cost for me is domain registration since it uses very little bandwidth.

8300 Crazy Celebrity Photos: I wonder why Will Smith was trying to balance a tack hammer on his head when there were cameras around. But I love the photo of Scarlett Johannson prancing around the Riviera in such a revealing bikini.

“Why on earth are those cats talking like that?”: I love the idea that there’s a backlash in the feline community about LOLcat speak.

“To Stimulate the Economy, Liberate It”: this opinion piece exactly captures what’s been bothering me about the stimulus package, it seems to be more of exactly what got us into this mess in the first place. Let’s try something else for a change.

More Surface Temperature Measurement Goofiness: there’s probably warming going on, but the degree to which it is occurring is the important thing. If we’re talking about a 0.2°F difference over the next decade or two instead of a 20°F one, then the gravity of the situation is much less. That is why the accuracy of our measurements are so vital.

Best Wedding Dance… Ever?: I could agree with that. The groom’s got some funky ape-arms though. That creeped me out.

Nice tweet: “_LOST_ video game should involve Ben shooting you, inexplicably regaining your trust, then repeatedly shooting you again. Forever.” First time I used the favorite star.

de-noted: showcasing currency defiling around the world. I myself used to cross out “God” in our country’s motto and write “MAN” in its place. What a dork past me was!

WikiVS: a wiki for comparisons. “VS” as in “versus.” Not much there and what’s there follows well-worn duels.

Open-access is the Future: I agree completely. I just wish I had executed on the cool open-access journal software idea I had a couple years ago. *sigh* {via}

Exposure: well, the Super Bowl commercial will definitely draw clicks but I don’t know if this warrants a “viewer discretion advised” warning. I think they had to put the voiceover “beaver” because otherwise people might think it was a huge gopher like in Caddyshack. {via}
