merrilyAs usual, this is 80% BoingBoing, 20% weird-shit-my-friends-sent-me.
Links: Happy-making Vids
Ze Frank pwns optical illusions.
Whack-a-kitty doesn't actually involve kitties being hurt, don't worry. But it does have banjoes! [YouTube]
Advanced Cat Yodelling also was cruelty-free. (Though some of the cats look kinda annoyed.) [YouTube]
Since dogs should have to put up with some human ridiculousness too, here's footage of a European Pet Spa, with an automatic dog washer that seems like a really bad idea.
I totally adore this fan-made time-lapse vid for a Death Cab For Cutie song. I think it's a fantastic argument for the good that Creative Commons licenses could bring to the world. (I have no idea if Death Cab for Cutie CC licensed this song? but I hope they embrace this vid and tell the maker how awesome it is.)
"My name is Julia Dales and I want to win the Beatbox Battle Wildcard." (And she did!)
Since ukuleles will never not make me happy, here's the trailer for the ukulele doc, Mighty Uke.

Ever need fresh basil while on the go? This handlebar garden box is for you!
Wondering what to do with your old VHS tapes? How about some furniture?
Links: Science! and Tech
Very cool: An off-the-grid wind- and sun-powered street lamp, which also works as a WIFI broadcast device! Why don't we install these RIGHT NOW?
Very not cool: Apple turns down Eucalyptus free ebook reader app for the iPhone because some of the content available (free in-the-public-domain texts from Project Guggenheim) is racy
Links: Misc. Neato and/or Silly
The USB ports for everything! photoshopping contest is disturbing.
I joined Heterosexuals for Same-Sex Equality today. It's a very good idea for a movement.
A very bad idea: going on a tiger hunt in your MaidenForm bra. [Jezebel - vintage ad]
Also dumb: some one leaked the talking-points memo that the Canadian Conservative gov't is giving to their MPs. [BoingBoing]
Someone aggregated a list of the best 101 free games on the web. I should bill that someone for the four hours I took to explore the list.[1UP]
Links: Stuff I Want
Next time I go to Ikea and get something flat-packed that I will need to assemble, I'm gonna be sure to request one of their free nail-holding doodads.
This Frank Lloyd Wright in Lego kit is just so cool. [BoingBoing Gadgets]
As is this shark attack hat. [Craftster]
And the Space Invader soap set! [Etsy]
This Transformer flash drive is coooool.
And this Dalek wedding cake looks like it would exterminate my hunger.
Links: Fannish Misc.
Leonard Nimoy's Ballad of Bilbo Baggins kind of has to been seen to be believed. [YouTube]
Also, for some reason, Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine did an epilepsy PSA.
