Zoomdoggle: More fun than work!

Bobby Graese and Matt Leung comment 57 times on a single Facebook status update, a new world record. Their thread beat the previous record by 22 comments.

The record was set on May 8, 2009 in May 8, 2009 in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.

EDITORS NOTE: Today is the day. No, really, go for it. All it takes is a picture of the comments to write yourself into the history books. How fun is that?

See how many you recognize. It’s like a wind-sprint down memory lane.

Ready for the single most pleasantly fun thing you’re likely to do all day? Draw a song starts with an interactive music clip. As the song plays you can move the mouse and effectively ‘draw’ the song. The brush reacts to the lyrics and the music. Nothing more, nothing less. Give it a go.

Remember that free car? Remember when I said it got stolen? Remember when we thought the NYPD was holding it without properly putting it into the system so it could be retrieved? Turns out the shocking reveal isn’t so shocking at all. I parked it in a tow-away zone… and I guess we (that is, just about everyone involved excluding the NYPD) had the wrong plate number all along. And not by a little bit.

Anyway, each month me and the car get a Ford-sponsored mission. This months, “Up, Up, and Away,” was travel themed and was meant to involve my taking a hot-air balloon ride. Only, as we now know, the car did some travel of it’s own. “Up, Up, and Away” indeed. The video below tells the story… kind of (bear with me, I had to make something from nothing).

A special thanks to the NY Post who came out and took some pictures when we thought the car was stolen (and being tracked via GPS), and Fox 5 who sent a helicopter over the impound to confirm the location of the car then sent a hidden camera in with me when we thought the NYPD was holding it without putting it into the system properly. The MVP award however goes to Gothamist who not only contacted the authorities (same as all the other news outlets and people involved) but were able to actually figure out that we had the wrong plate number, get the right plate number (honestly, that bit’s amazing, again we were more than a few digits off the whole time), and send me an email letting me know the car was now free for pick-up. Big tip of the hat. Big.

Sure, sure, sure, sometimes it’s fun to watch Al Roker blather on about nothing while floundering around in a wet-suit (er, wait, either he was on location this week, or I’ve been having some truly bizarre dreams)… sometimes it’s better just to know what you’re going to need to wear when you leave the house. When a number and wind-chill-factor simply won’t do there’s Sleeves. Give them your zip, they give you the required sleeve-length. How fun is that?

Just like Space Invaders only, when you’re not in space gravity is an issue. Shoot ‘em down, watch ‘em fall, push ‘em off – fun. Click the pic to get the game.
