Any dramatic chipmunk tattoos out there? Internet, please say yes.

I'll be adding to this all day.

  My reaction? Funny

(Tufte famously hates Powerpoint)

• John Resig - Classy Query

  My reaction? Funny, but only to JavaScript geeks.

• Diesel Sweeties drawn in a "normal" comic style: "Not a Dream, Not an Imaginary Story."

  My reaction? Kind of funny. More clever than anything. Bonus points for it featuring Indie Rock Pete.

• New ASO rules; Ball buys time; OBRA bans Astana?

  My reaction? Funny, but only for people who know what I mean when I say I'm looking forward to the Ronde van Vlaanderens.

• Introducing Gmail Custom TimeTM
  Be on time. Every time.*l

  How do I use it?

  Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.
  Is there a limit to how far back I can send email?

  Yes. You'll only be able to send email back until April 1, 2004, the day we launched Gmail. If we were to let you send an email from Gmail before Gmail existed, well, that would be like hanging out with your parents before you were born — crazy talk.
  How does it work?

  Gmail utilizes an e-flux capacitor to resolve issues of causality (see Grandfather Paradox).

  My reaction? Funny

• Why We’re Suing Facebook For $25 Million In Statutory Damages

  My reaction? Surprised that anyone would fall for it. Not that the underlying issue is so far-fetched, but that they believed TechCrunch would sue Facebook. In case people haven't noticed, TechCruch lervs Facebook. "TechCruch and Facebook sitting in a tree…" That said, it is a funny piece, so they get points for that.

• YouTube is rickRolling its users!

  All the "featured videos" on the home page are RickRolls.

  My reaction? Funny like Turducken

• Best one so far for me:

  Inside AdSense: Introducing AdSense for conversations

  My reaction? Laughed way out loud

  

The weirdest thing about it is that it's Hammer (yes even weirder than the fact that his mom is knitting in the background.) I'm not even sure this guy was alive when Hammer was doing his thing.

And yeah, Wordpress is upgraded to 2.5. As I mentioned on twitter, it might take five minutes (and the core upgrade will.) The problem is, the "extra" stuff might break and cause me nothing but problems for hours or even days on end. I'm especially curious about the Amazon S3 plugin for WordPress since I post so many images to the site and want to continue to host them @ Amazon S3. Since so much of the admin interface is changed, I fear that will just break.

I'm crazy late on this, but William Gibson posted it just today, so I can't feel too bad about posting it here. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for me

Anyway, here's an insanely good Latvian Le Parkour video

This is a uniquely cool, creative and extremely well written youtube video. It may not be the whiz-bang equal of "I Can't Believe You've Done This," but it certainly beats that recent classic in pure brain power. If the the average Youtube video was a 4 on a 1 to 10 scale of intelligence, this video is a 97…

The best 11 seconds currently on youtube?

Happy friday.

okay… here's a little explanation.

This came up at work (thanks to me of course), so I figured I'd check youtube to see if it was available. It is. So I'm sharing it with you.

yes!

I'm about to do some Popeye and Spinach. The big iron fueled freak-out. When I pop open that can, the nutrients will jack me up to superhuman proportions.

Metaphorically, of course.

That obscure remark aside, I really enjoyed this Popeye cartoon back in the day, maybe you will too:

Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor

This video for Coconut Records (Jason Schwarztman) "West Coast" featuring the inimitable Mark Gonzales.

[edited to add:] The album is on emusic. Saved for later.
