Fun Video
Is that what I think it is; flaming robot legs pushing a shopping cart down the street while passers by pass by without so much as a glance? Yup. I’ve been watching it twice a day for the past few days and I’m still smiling.

Post-its + To Do lists = Sexy Time
Looking for a fun way to send that special someone know what’s on your mind? I find that utilizing the same tools for the bedroom that work in boardroom sends a fairly clear message.
Play Tentradrill
You are an octopus collecting shells and avoiding rocks. These are the most pleasing animations. Eventually it gets shooty-er; this is the truth. Click the pic to get the game; that is the way.
Laser Tattoos
“What’s in the box?”
“Pain.” He felt increased tingling in his hand, pressed his lips tightly together. How could this be a test? he wondered. The tingling became an itch… The itch became the faintest burning… It mounted slowly: heat upon heat upon heat… . The burning! The burning! He thought he could feel skin curling black on that agonized hand, the flesh crisping and dropping away until only charred bones remained.
According to Instructables, that quote from Dune pretty much sums up the joys of getting a laser tattoo. I’m still undeterred. It was that same curiosity that led me to getting the soles of my feet tattood (and the black-light tattoos on my wrists). As always, Instructables has the how-to (there’s more to it than just “grin and bear it” you’ve got figure out how deep to let the thing cut and how to subvert and any all safety settings), I’m still on the lookout for the laser-etching machine. Anyone got a good lead? Let me know.

Food Coloring
Do you remember that scene from Hook where Peter Pan has a rainbow food fight? You don’t have to be a lost boy to eat rainbow food. Just add food coloring to anything… better yet, add food coloring to everything! But I warn you, it’s hard to chew when you can’t stop smiling.
Just don’t try it on eggs.

The PoleRiders
Quick: What do pole dancers and eco-friendly messaging have in common? I know, I know, The PoleRiders, a gang of girls (the scantily clad “Veloettes”) and a guy with a bike with a platform with a pole and speakers in the middle, bent on “raising awareness of the immense potential of pedal power and the imagination and to unite two great things that are even better together: bicycles and pole dancers.” The NY Post calls it flesh peddling. We call it fun.
