HONORARY DOGGLERS: The London Knights


It’s raining bears. Anyone ever heard of a “Teddy Bear Toss”? I guess it’s a thing hockey teams this time of year to collect toys to give to charities. This year, following the first goal of the game, The London Knights (a minor league team) collected 8,232 bears. How fun is that?

Thanks to Mike G for throwing this my way.

QUICK: Exobotics


There’s only 3 steps to this simple bit of flash widget fun:
1. Build your bot.
2. Make him dance.
3. World domination (this one might be more wishful than thinking).
Dancing bots? Yup, good for a minute or four.

ENTER: Your Big Break

Ever wanted to be a film-maker? Ever wanted to be a film-maker on working on location? Ever wanted to be a film… er, why am I drawing this out? Bottom line: This could be Your Big Break. Write a screenplay for a 3-minute film that ‘captures the spirit of 100% Pure New Zealand, the youngest country on Earth’, and you could be one of five filmmakers to wing your way to NZ to have your short film produced by Lord of the Rings producer Barrie Osborne. The winning film will be selected by Peter Jackson and presented worldwide as part of 100% Pure New Zealand! Get at it.

QUICK: What’s On Your TeuxDeux List?


There’s nothing funner than getting stuff done. Longtime friend of the Doggle SwissMiss and her office-mate Fictive Kin have just launched TeuxDeux, a beautifully designed, easy to use, free web based to-do service that, well, gets it done. The video explains it all, and there’s not much more to say beyond that, ‘cept I’ve been 90% more productive since I started managing my deux on the system. Have a look:

GET: Adidas Star Wars Collection


They’re not coming out until after the holidays, but they are the hotness. I might have to rock some Storm Troopers this spring. Even saying it makes me smile.

PLAY: Starlight

Twist the constellations until they reveal pictures. That, or just turn the game on in the background and enjoy the soothing sounds. Either way, it’s this thing is a giant face-lick from a pile pf puppies. Click the pic to make the jump.

FUN VIDEO: MacGyver Cat


Don’t give this cat an apple and string… he’ll make a bomb and blast his way out of your house. Yup.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Needs For Sale Goes On Sale


WHEN: Tonight, 5PM
WHERE: The Internet, well, NeedsForSale.com
WHAT: You know Wants For Sale, where a couple paints paintings then sells them for face value to get the stuff they want (example: if it’s a picture of a phone, the picture sells for the exact cost of the phone), it’s altruistic cousin Needs For Sale is back with another line. The point of Needs is to raise money for various charities. Why just buy a gift for someone, when you could buy them a gift that does good for others, while looking good on a wall? The things is, they go on sale at 5, and usually by 5:15 they’re out. On your mark, get set, go…
