FUN VIDEO: Extreme Sheep Art


“We took to the hills of Wales armed to the teeth with sheep, LEDs and a camera, to create a huge amazing LED display. Of sorts.” How fun is that?

QUICK: How Big is Your Twitter Penis?

I know, that I care officially confirms my status as a nerd, but hey, sometimes nerding-out is fun. Show ‘em if you’ve got ‘em. Click over to ePenis, plug in your user name to find your score, then post it below along with a link to your Twitter account. While you’re at it, follow everyone who’s posted before you.

Waldo FOUND

Of all of the things google maps has found, staged, or hit (ooh, that can’t be good), nothing has gotten ya’ll more riled up than this: Google maps has found Waldo on Putney High Street in Wadsworth, England. Seven of you found it and sent it my way. Too many names to thank. But know that it is appreciated. Nothing’s more fun than knowing I’ve got extra eyes and ears on the case. Thanks for that!

Play Marble Lines

Sooooo mannny varriations on a theme. The marbles are heading to the hole. Stop them by shooting more marbles at them. Make sets of three to take them out. The mouse does the shooting. The space-bar switches the ball that gets shot. Click the pic to get the game.

MakerBot Industries

3D printers are nothing new—though, at $750 this might be the first I could actually afford—where this one becomes truly a wonder to behold though, is when you pair it with the optional “Frostruder kit.” Can anyone say “custom cupcake iceing printer”? This is exactly what I need…

Honoray Doggler: Lockwasher

Where most people simply see junk, Lockwasher sees, well, new friends in the making. Beer2D2—just the tip of this awesome iceburg—is made from the following:

Head – 1945 chrome BLC utility light shell.
Eye – vintage movie camera lens w/adjustable spring-loaded aluminum casing.
Body – 4.7 liter “adult soda” mini-keg.
Legs – propane tank valve handles, brass spacers, drilled-out washers, pair of aluminum Lady Josephine shoe butler (wall-mounted shoe shine holders).
Feet/base – 3 mini bread loaf pans, lamp hardware and a 1/2″ precision drilled aluminum base plate.
+assorted nuts, bolts, screws and, of course – lockwashers. How fun is that?

I’ve used more than a few of his images in my presentations, but never thought to dig any deeper. Thanks to Dan Rollman for insisting I do.

FUN VIDEO: Ying-Yang Twins on Cribs Translated

I love these guys. Even more so now that I know what they’re saying. It takes a while to warm up, but once you’re in the kitchen… good times.

QUICK: Are You A Narcissist?

Ready to find out? The following test is from Dr. Drew’s new book. It is recommended that you answer the 40 questions below in a single sitting, and all at once, without asking for help or clarification. “There’s no such thing as a good or bad result on this test. Scoring high on the narcissism inventory, or high on any of the component categories, doesn’t mean you have a disorder, or that you’re a good or bad person.”

Anyhow, print this out and mark off which of the statements best match you, then use the key at the bottom to find out how you are.

NOTE: I myself didn’t have the time to take the test this morning, but seeing as I’ve already got a picture of myself looking into a mirror, I’m pretty sure I already know the answer. How fun is that? (No really, sometimes I wonder.) For anyone on the fence however, let the games begin:

Honorary Dogglers: Shauna Alterio and Stephen Loidolt

When fredflare turned over their blog to guest-bloggers Shauna Alterio and Stephen Loidolt, otherwise known as something’s hiding in here, the duo had something funner than simply pushing product in mind. The installed a sign at the front of the store in Brooklyn (see it above) and encouraged blog readers to program it with anything they love (see some below).

How fun is that? Skip over to their blog to check the complete set… even better, leave a phrase of your own.
