10/10/2011
Ladies and Gentlemen, the best pet Halloween costume of all time: agree wholeheartedly. My dog, however, would be the fastest damn AT-AT you ever saw.
9/25/2011
This is What Happens When Your Dad’s a Graphic Designer: haha. My wife and I once co-opted George and Lorraine McFly’s backstory to explain how we met.

Chris Needs Your Help Doing Something Banal: love this sort of project.
3/15/2011
Someone Is Setting Hipster Traps in New York: waste of time—some do-gooder will probably just let them go.
3/8/2011
Real Life Version of the UP House Attached to 300 Balloons Takes Flight: those balloon pilots would have to be awfully experienced before I’d set foot in that thing.
8/13/2010
Journalism Warning Labels: it’s a funny idea but I see zero actual utility here.
8/12/2010
the land of giants: this would look fantastic in real life.
8/11/2010
Oil of L.A.: I was recently in Signal Hill and Beverly Hills and saw this stuff firsthand. Very interesting.

tarp surfing: derivative of this but more professionally done. {via}
7/14/2010
Undercover Karaoke with Jewel: just great stuff.
2/19/2010

2/1/2010
Conan O’Brien Cheetos portrait: a portrait of Conan made entirely out of Cheetos.
1/28/2010
Looking Into the Past: the “then and now” genre of photography is one of my favorites.
1/7/2010
Running from Camera: it’s the new phoon, as far as I’m concerned.
12/14/2009
Hardcore Rollerblading: it’s too bad you couldn’t see the reaction of the motorcyclists he’s passing. Also, how does he stop? {via}
Christmas Light Hero: I confess that I’ve never played any of the “Hero” games, but this has got to be a blast.
Fun with Coloring Books: darkly re-imagining some lovable characters.
Admiral Ackbar, Barista: love it!
11/24/2009
Oli Lemieux training trampoline wall Dralion Cirque du Soleil: that is some serious trampolining. {via}
11/20/2009
Divorce Lift: very creative ad.
11/3/2009
My Life is Average #1188975: priceless Halloween costume story.
10/28/2009
Ditto: someone got to relax a lot more over the holidays.
10/22/2009
I Gotta Feeling: well-orchestrated but I’m still partial to the first lip-dub I saw. {via}
10/9/2009
Fly Fun: the only downside to this sort of activity is actually touching flies.
10/1/2009
25 Awesome Homeless Guy Signs: “betcha can’t hit me with a quarter” {via}
8/4/2009
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.
7/16/2009
“Pizza And Soda? That’ll Be $23 Quadrillion, Please”: this seems like a highly-implausible computer glitch unless you look at it hexadecimally.
6/30/2009
There, I Fixed It: some seem a little iffy—fire alarm, really?—but I’ve certainly done my fair share of stopgappery.
2/26/2009
Fly-Powered Model Airplane: if anyone says this is cruel to flies, I’m going to go nuts.
1/30/2009
Google Maps Car Hits a Deer, Records Entire Ordeal on Google Maps: this is seriously cool. Sadly, it appears Google has taken down the images from the Street View

EepyBird’s Sticky Note Experiment: enh, not as cool as the Diet Coke/Mentos work. But that’s not surprising. {via}
9/2/2008
Google Maps – Missile Over Utah: I have no idea how people spot these things but I’m glad they do.
9/1/2008
“The Best F**cking News Team Ever: that reminds me, I need to watch more of The Daily Show. Hilarious!
8/8/2008
2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony: looks like quite a spectacle. You know what else looks like quite a spectacle? This. {via}
8/5/2008
Wipeout Wrecking Ball: this is easily the best sequence in the entire show. John Henson is hilarious.
8/3/2008
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at Comic-Con: not as good as the Star Wars one, but still hilarious. There’s also his full speech to the conventioneers comic nerds.
7/25/2008
FLARE: this would be an amazing look for a building. I’m going to go out on a limb and say this is very expensive—both to install and to maintain.
7/24/2008
Anecdotage – Steve Martin: the joys of being a comedian. {via}
6/27/2008

Creative cubicles: I like to live vicariously through other cube dwellers’ creativity. {via}
6/8/2008
Car and Driver Live: drive six exotic sports cars at either the track or on the open road for a couple thousand. I’d do this if I had the money, which I don’t.
5/29/2008
“George Bush Chest Bumps Soldier”: if you needed any more evidence that Joe Sixpack can become President, here it is. {via}
5/28/2008
Snoop Dog: while laughing at someone in public is douche-y, assuming that someone laughing in public is directing it at you is even more so. Good story.
5/24/2008
5 dangerous things you should let your kids do: an excellent TED talk. It’s a welcome counterpoint to Free Range Kids.
5/21/2008
Slow-Motion Face Punch Videos: I don’t much care what the story is behind these videos; they’re so odd to watch. And not nearly as amusing as SNL’s “People Getting Punched in the Face Right Before Eating.” {via}
Google Maps Street View Scene: boy I hope that’s not a real gun!
5/1/2008
Igloo Building Guide: that’s very handy. But does snow really get that hard that you can cut blocks out of it? I mean, outside of Scandinavia and the Arctic? {via}
4/5/2008
Marker Bored: two roommates collaborate in a call-and-response fashion on a shared whiteboard. I’ve seen people do that at work too. {via}
3/30/2008
Food Court Musical: this is definitely one of their best scenes, but I think that was because it was staged with the mall’s complicity.
3/27/2008
Eighty-Five Ways to Decorate Your House for Christmas: oh boy, that’s rich!
3/18/2008
How to Pull Off a Rickroll in Real Life: wow. Just wow.
3/12/2008
Shaq Rode in my ‘Lude: the pictures of Shaquille O’Neal scrunched in the front seat of a Honda Prelude are excellent.
3/7/2008
Ferrari vs. Smart Car: wow, that is incredible. But it seems like it’d be unstable since it wasn’t designed to do that kind of speed. {via}
3/4/2008
The Pink and Blue Project: neat photos. My girls like pink, green, and yellow. {via}
Undie 500: sorry, but that is not right.
2/29/2008
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.
2/14/2008
Best Wedding Dance… Ever?: I could agree with that. The groom’s got some funky ape-arms though. That creeped me out.
2/8/2008
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!
1/15/2008
D.B. Cooper Redux: this story enthralled me when I watched a segment of Unsolved Mysteries as a kid. Here’s all the FBI files relating to the case, requested through FOIA. I guess $200,000 was a lot of money in 1971.
1/14/2008
Bathroom Graffiti Project: I wonder if this could also be called the Men’s Bathroom Graffiti Project. I haven’t been in many women’s bathrooms (I worked at several McDonald’s as a youth and bathroom cleaning was just one exciting facet of my job) but in my experience they’re not rife with expressions of machismo.
1/5/2008
Tom Mabe Funny Phone Call: this one’s a priceless prank call. Excellent composure the entire time. {via}
12/31/2007
Bacon Cheese Baconburger: this guy’s clearly a bacon addict. {via}

I hung out at Liz Brooks’s apartment: I never get tired of these pranks.
My Early Muir Owl: a very creative marriage proposal. {via}
12/26/2007
Cluster Ballooning Intro: I’ve linked to this before, but I hadn’t seen this pictorial. It looks like an absolute blast but I think the lack of control means that I won’t ever be doing this.
12/24/2007
Ruin Romo: make a Jessica Simpson mask and bug some football player named Romo. (Sorry, I can’t be bothered to find out who that is for you or to feign interest in the matter.) For my money, the Little Orphan Annie look on Jessica Simpson suits her.
12/14/2007
Superstars of San Francisco: uhh, I guess I won’t ever be living in San Francisco.
12/9/2007
Trash the Dress: celebrating wedding photography that involves dress ruination. {via}
12/7/2007
The Gratitude Dance: what does this remind me of? {via}
11/29/2007
Smart Car Crash Test: I was surprised that it could even do 70 MPH. Also, I wonder what a Lamborghini hitting a wall at 219 MPH would look like? {via}
Cal Band – Video Game Show 2007: now that’s what I call marching! {via}
11/28/2007
219 on the 202: Lamborghini driver gets up to 219 MPH on a freeway in Phoenix. Luckily, the speed limit on that stretch is 210 MPH and police generally don’t hassle you until you’re 11 MPH over. Phew! He’s got me beat: my personal record was 125 MPH on the 17. {via}
11/23/2007
Crash Bonsai: a welcome addition to any bonsai cultivation. No MINI Coopers though.
11/7/2007
OMG! Awesome Party Guy Vid!: this YouTube costume has to be the most creative one I’ve seen. It really fires on all levels.
11/1/2007
Happy Halloween from the Mythbusters: love it!
10/21/2007
No Shirts: latest Improv Everywhere stunt featuring 111 shirtless men visiting an NYC Abercrombie & Fitch store. High-larious!
10/16/2007
Sony Bravia – “Pyramid”: damn that had to be a lot of work. Just like this “Bunnies” ad in New York. But they sure don’t think small for these ads.
9/23/2007
Jesus on Tour: bobble-head Jesus is going places. Personally, I prefer this Jesus on tour but I think it’s because He’s posable there.
9/14/2007
Pretend to Be a Time Traveler Day: December 8th. I won’t do it, but it’s a hilarious idea.
