My Celebrity Friends
MyHeritage.com is a website that traces family geneology. But they’ve got a cool new feature which has little to do with geneology. All you do is go here, upload a picture of yourself (a quick and easy free resigistration may be required), and their "face recognition" software kicks back a list of celebrities with similar facial features and structure. Things … Read More
Greenwald #1
I’ve often quoted and linked to blogger and First Amendment lawyer Glenn Greenwald on this site, noting (several times) that his blog’s contribution to the NSA wiretapping story is inestimable. Looks like Glenn is doing well in the regular media as well. His book — How Would A Patriot Act? — is ranked number #1 on Amazon. (It was ranked … Read More
Emilymark.net
I spent some of this weekend building a website for a friend. Please check it out and leave comments here. Or, if you know and see Emily, let her know. Or leave a comment on Emily’s message board. I’m not looking for compliments — I’m looking for bugs and/or ways to improve it. Is it legible? Is it too slow … Read More
Waste Someone Else’s Time
Aric McKeown of Minneapolis, MN does not know what to watch on television. You can go to his website, http://www.makemewatchtv.com, and tell him what to watch. Well, you can vote for what he’ll watch. And he’ll watch it. He’s just that kind of guy. [And yes, you can still Dress Kevin]
Fun With Department Of Homeland Security Graphics
The funniest thing I’ve seen in a while — interpretations of actual graphics from the Department of Homeland Security webpages. If you spot a terrorist arrow, pin it against the wall with your shoulder. After exposure to radiation it is important to consider that you may have mutated to gigantic dimensions: watch your head. If you lose a contact lens … Read More

The Worst Web Design
Look, my blog is pretty bad, but this has got to be the worst designed website in the entire world: Association of International Glaucoma Societies (be sure to have your sound on)
Our Solar System
This is pretty cool. This webpage shows a scaled version of our solar system, where 1 pixel equals about 1000 kilometers. You start off at the sun, and you scroll to the right until you hit Mercury. Then Venus. Then Earth, and so on. Not only are the distances between the planets to scale, but the planet sizes are to … Read More
Or You Could Get A Girlfriend…
Kevin McCormick had an epiphany one day: One day, I had to face the facts: I had no idea how to dress myself. After going through old yearbooks and photographs, I came to the stunning realization that I needed serious help with my wardrobe. So, at first I did what most people would do. I went to others for advice. … Read More
Excerpts From Harry Whittington’s Blog
Harry Whittington’s Blog: Have you ever been in a situation where somebody you thought was your friend did something that hurt you very much, and then they tried to blame it on you? And then that person waited 18 hours to report it to the media, and that person’s colleagues tried to make a joke out of it, until you … Read More
50 Most Loathsome People In America
I may quibble about the order, but this list seems pretty good to me: The 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2005. No. 33 is Johnny Damon: Charges: Any baseball player with highlights in his hair should be faced with the same penalty system applied to those using performance-enhancing steroids. It’s ruining the game. And if a ball player is … Read More

Bored on the Internet? (You must be — you’re reading this blog).

Unclaimed Territory
Glenn Greenwald has been blogging for only a few months now, and it’s one of the great blogs out there. A First Amendment lawyer by trade, he’s been getting noteriety for his posts relating to the NSA wiretapping issue, and deservedly so. I’m adding him to my blogroll, and I thought I would mention his blog — Unclaimed Territory — … Read More
