Why I Never Get Anything Done

This is totally ganked from the web. I'm sorry I can't cite the source.

I was bored and feeling somewhat down this morning for a bunch o' reasons but this cheered me up.

Tastes I've Aquired

Wow. I was surprised to see how many foods I consider to be my "favorite" are on this list. A 'century egg' I'll give you that..But, Lapsang Souchang? Really? Is it that difficult to enjoy? Capers? Kimchi? I feel gastronomically out of touch.

This would be a sure-fire way to give that special kid in your life a potentially scarring psychological episode that would feed night terrors for a decent amount of time. [via UneasySilence]

Everything About This is Awesome

These kids have restored my faith in young people today.
First, cheers to them for even knowing the Buggles and this song. Second, to quote the comments, "harps a pimp". Enjoy. [from reddit.com]

My Brain's Gonna Splode :: Wii, Orb, Haircut, NY

Begin bulleted list

• [I'd like to file this under 'early adopter'] So I got myself a Wii. It happened somewhat quickly and very nerdily. It's set up in my living room with the output projected on the wall in a nice 3x4 ft window. I already have tennis elbow (no joke) and have successfully sent some Miis over to my buddy who has one (and gets credit for turning me onto it).
  I've been sehr diligent in my training and am already close to pro status in tennis. It gets better though -- after installing Orb on my media PC, I can access all files, pictures, videos, mp3s, and documents from my Wii. I now sit on my couch in the evenings and surf YouTube instead of watching TV. Welcome to the future.
• Orb is a little program that acts sort of like a streaming server.. From any other machine you hit a website, log in, and have access to your host. It's very sweet, if not a bit buggy on my Vista laptop [grrr].
  
• Got shorn today. I'm moving back towards a 'hican [or is it mullethawk?]. Once I sort out exactly how its going to be documentation in the form of pictures will be posted.
• I'm going to New York next week to visit my family -- especially my ailing grandmother. I am very excited to be able to see her, but am simultaneously sad about what I expect to encounter when I get there. She fell very ill on Easter and her status is still somewhat unclear.

And in the same vein -- I share this delectable video morsel with you

Intelligent Timesuck

This is a cool Java applet that calls itself "the Genealogy of Influence":

a visualization of the connections between
the most influential writers, artists, philosophers,
scientists, and mathematicians of Western culture

Regardless, it's both informative and fun. Click on the individual to expand information, drag em around to rearrange.
**Note: it is entirely western culture here - no mention of our eastern brothers and sisters from the contemplative arts.

YouTube Awards

This is interesting. So YouTube had it's first 'official' awards and hahahahaha the New York Times tries to wrap it's head around it. The article's tone reads like someone poking at a pile of stinking, dirty laundry with a stick. Whatever. There are some sweet mentions and links in there. ('My Hands Are Bananas' and 'Ask a Ninja' are good.) And it's odd to see the YouTube community has morphed into a MySpace clone. Everyone is finally their own channel it seems.
