Have you heard about this yet?
Animal Planet is doing a series called Meerkat Manor that follows one group of Meerkats. It's sooooooooooo cute!

I've started a webpage to collect links & downloads & such for free mp3s that I find on the internets. A lot of it is distributed under creative commons licensing. Some of it is links to the site where the copyright holder has made it available.

If you find an artist you like, support them by either buying their music, or donating money, or both!

Hey kids!
It's May first.
Hopefully we'll have some decent weather, because you know what starts today, right?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to download this song by Jonathan Coulton. If you've got a copy of my smut mix CD, just fire up the first track.
Celebrate spring with a crazy little thing...

VD is for Everybody

An old public health commercial...

Brokeback Hospital

Yes, it's another Brokeback Mountain parody trailer. But there have been so many gay snarky undertones between House & Wilson that this trailer could be reality!

Jonathan Coulton, the genius who brought us The First of May, does a song a week. Last week's song was about a subject very near & dear to some of you...

Zombies!!

"All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains"

HERE is a link to the page I put it on, or if you prefer, HERE is a link to download it directly.
If you like the song, go to J.C.'s website and purchase it or make a donation.

And for today's picture spam, I stopped at the river on my way home.

This week I am working down at the Shakopee location because lucky13charm took the week off so they are short a person. Today was my first time working down there. I liked it down there, and there are windows so I could tell the sun was shining. The only think I don't like about it is the distance. If it wasn't frickin' Shakopee I wouldn't mind working there on a regular basis. One of the benefits to the drive though is that it means I have to cross the Minnesota River which will make for good 100pics fodder.
I stopped for about 15 minutes today and I've got 4 photos for y'all:

It was BEAUTIFUL out today so I stopped by the river to take pictures.



( And I'll even be nice & cut tag the other three for those of you who don't care... )

I am feeling linkarific today! It's been a while since I've done one of these posts showing you the cool & funny stuff I find on the internets. Enjoy!

1. Who knew? A Smallville newsite has news that will interest you Doctor Who fans on my flist... Christopher Eccleston has been signed to appear as Zod!

2. Remember the caffeine soap that came out a few years ago? Well they've come up with another way for you to get your caffeine buzz without having to ingest either sugar or evil artificial sweeteners like nutra-sweet: Buzzaire - Metered Dose Caffeine Inhaler

3. Y'all know I love Coverville. The latest episode (#194) is actually all original songs instead. They are the songs where the version we all know is actually the cover and most people have never heard the original. You can download the mp3 directly by clicking here.

4. And I know one of you doesn't need this link, having just announced his plans for a Vegas Elvis wedding, but for those of you still looking for your better half, Google wants to help. Google Romance. "When you think about it, love is just another search problem. And we’ve thought about it. A lot. Google Romance™ is our solution."

5. Slashdot has redesigned their page, giving it a much needed face lift!

6. Are you subscribed to the Astronomy Picture of the Day yet? Today's was really cool!

7. Finally! An answer to our need for a television resource. It's like IMDB and Wikipedia had a baby! TeeVeePedia

8. How Stuff Works has a really cool article on animated tattoos!



And now I've gotta run. hellbob & I are going to go check out a furniture bankruptcy sale to see if we can find a cool sectional sofa cheap! And then tonight we're gonna have yummy Irish food at Kip's Pub with Jeanine & Julie! Yay!


*edit*
*pout*
No comments on all my wonderful April Fools links? I don't love you people any more & so I'm gonna go use Google Romance to find new internet friends!

I love my Google searches. But all this talk about the censorship in China? It just makes me wonder how much trust we can put into searches here. How are we gonna know that something has been censored out? How will we know when it's Google lying to us?

Here are the results of two Google image searches. The first is at the US site we usually all use: Tiananmen Square

But if you go to google.cn and do the same search, this is what you get: Tiananmen Square

So, just curious. Do any of y'all use del.icio.us?
Now that I've been using them for a while I'm completely addicted to using tags in my journal. (although I've been a big ol' procrastinator about tagging the previous 3 years of entries!)
I really like the way my bookmarks are currently set up in Safari, but I'm thinking that it would be nice to find stuff from any computer.
But aren't del.icio.us tags public? So what if I tagged my bank's homepage? Obviously people wouldn't be able to log into my accounts, but I don't really want everyone to know where I bank, what credit cards I have, who my phone company is, who my electric company is, etc. They're not secret or anything. It's just not something that one should advertise.
Thoughts?

No pretty html links since I'm at work. It's all cut & paste baby, cuz I'm an idiot without my LJ client!
Remember the cover of Baby Got Back that Jonathan Coulton did? Y'all listened to it when I linked it right? Cuz you click on every link I post, right? ( http://www.jonathancoulton.com/music/thingaweek/BabyGotBack.mp3 )
anyway... he didn't do this song, but he did link to it on his page. Everyone must listen if they are curious about the real reason Cheney shot the quail dude he was hunting with... Go on, listen to it... I'll be here when you get back. ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/video/JillSobuleDickandHarry.mp3 )

See. Told you it was funny. Looking for a movie to see this weekend? Already seen Brokeback Mountain? Wishing you could get some more of Michael J. Fox's brilliant performances in Back to the Future, Back to the Future 2 and Back to the Future 3? Here's a trailer for the next Must See movie of the year: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfODSPIYwpQ )

OK. Back to work for me. yay. can you sense the excitement?
