Guido Balducci knocked over 44 empty paper boxes with a broom while riding a pallet jack. The wall of boxes he’d set up originally had 55 boxes.

Remember not so long ago when I told you Ford had lent me a car for 6 months… gas, parking, insurance, all included? Sure you do, people have been standing on it and I thought it might have been stolen. Anyway, they also give me a monthly mission. This month’s mission saw had me hit the road (in BK) to go furniture shopping with Tina Roth Eisenberg, aka design guru Swiss Miss. If you like design, like I do, and read Tina’s blog, like I do… this should be fun. And just in case you don’t, I let my roommate subtitle it any way he saw fit.

You saw their entrance, now watch their exit.

Every wondered what your name would be if you were a douchbag? There’s an app for that. Or at least a site anyway. Fill in a simple survey (name, street you grew up on, you get the idea), push the button and find out for yourself.

Play More (great name) is a notebook where the backside of each page is printed with a pattern that becomes a ball when crumpled. Just imaging it: “What’s that? My minutes from the meeting? It’s a football now!” How fun is that?

The little guy’s got big moves. Yup.

Ready for the single most addictive time waster the internet has ever known? Guess The Google pulls a matrics of images from Google using a single keyword. Your job is to guess the word as quickly as you can. Clear your callender, then see if you can guess that google (you can almost hear it “guess the google” being chanted by a group Wheel Of Fortune-style… it’s only a matter of time before this hits daytime TV). Have at it. Let us know how it goes.

Ever heard of a Flarf? Yeah, my neither. Furd, maybe, but never a Flarf. Anyway, this morning Jason Kottke alerted me to the newly minted and somewhat questionable art form of Flarf, buy which poets are crafting poems using random bits of pieces taken from Google searches. Fun, right? Time to twist it doggle-style. Go to your email, find the last email somebody forwarded you (not just sent you, but actually forwarded) and post either the subject or first line in the comments below. Every ten or so I’m combine them just as they came in, but all stacked together for readability into a poem. Here’s hoping we come up with something fun…
