Brace yourself for a 17-second cute explosion.

Anyone who knows me knows my love of Guns N Roses continued long after Axl scrambled his face. So you can imagine my surprise when the first gift of the holiday season arrived on my doorstep (thanks K!). Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Guns N’ Roses.”Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. Guitars and drums are traded for soothing mellotrons, vibraphones and bells, and the volume is turned down from an eleven to a two. Rockabye Baby! is the perfect way to share the music you love with the littlest rocker in your life.” I don’t know how I ever slept without it. Help yourself to a soothing sample after the jump.

A pop-up office made of cardboard? This is what Zoomdoggle HQ looks like in my dreams. Well done.

Don’t just stare at the clouds… play with them. How fun is that? There’s no explanation necessary, and any how-to would pretty much read like ‘look at clouds, get creative, point camera and shoot’ but there’s a few more fun ones after the jump.

Sometimes it’s fun to play with yourself. Er, well, you’ll see what I mean. It starts easy then gets hard. Um, yeah. Click the pic to make the jump.

…Mike K for making this picture and sending the picture in (though I’ve got nothing against turkey, it’s always fun to find stuff in the inbox).
…Lucky Oliver (the photo community) which, though I’m not sure it still exists, is where I believe this base picture is from.
…But most of all for you, for coming back, for your kind words (mostly through facebook these days) and for your friendship.
If anyone else feels like posting what they’re thankful for below, get at it. The prize is the warm and fuzzy feeling you get as soon as you push the post button. How fun is that?

One button is all it takes to turn any one account into a handsome book your family will cherish for generations to come. No really. How fun is that?

Scotty’s got an office job. And a web show. Only, the people in his office have no idea. Fun, right?

EDITOR’S NOTE: In case you missed the plug at the end, Scotty (someone I consider a pal even though I was too busy to figure out a panel at the last SXSW) has a new job. We wish him well and congratulate Klick, who’s bird-sounds I’ve kept on in the background for days, on their smart HR-ing. You can read all about it in the New York Times HERE.

WHEN: 3PM – 10PM Today
WHERE: West 77th and Columbus Avenue in NYC
WHAT: You know the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade? You know those giant balloons they usher down the street? Well first they’ve got to blow them up. Watching them grow is amazing. Really. My cousin took my once when I was 15, and I’m still talking about it now. If you only one thing you ever see on Zoomdoggle, make sure this is it.

This one is for everyone who has to get in a car today or tomorrow (myself included). It starts off slow, but then, well, the purpose is to wreck. Follow the goals as they’re given. Click the pic to make the jump.
