merrilyI'm trying a new thing where I am only allowed to post five links per category! This is stressful, people! But hey, it means you get the creme de la creme of "weird stuff I found online".
(I reserve the right to make up endless new categories, mind.)
Links: Happy-making Vids
Watch out, people! Radio-controlled southern belles are on the loose! [YouTube]
The wearable towel! (As far as I can tell, no, this is not a joke.) [YouTube]
Steve Martin plays dueling banjos with the Muppets! True fact: being able to play the banjo makes you 24% more attractive.
The Pygmy Jerboa is, indeed, one of the cutest animals I've ever seen. [YouTube via Videogum]
Jean commercials from the 80s were weeeeeird. [BoingBoing video]
Links: Things To Make & Do
Ooo! Canon has a whole gallery of free papercraft stuff, including this model of the sun.
Honey-ham Baked Cupcakes make me feel huuuuungry, even though I just ate brunch.
BattleForge: a new, non-crappy video game that is FREE!
Links: Science! and Technology
This photogallery of giant earthworms was both amazing and kind of disgusting.
Using a 1964 modem to dial the internet is a neato vid. [Youtube via BoingBoing]
Insects need loving, too [Photogallery of bugs in flagrante]
Ever thought, after breakfast, I bet those eggshells would make great speakers? No?
This article about how book design affects readability is so, so true.
Links: Misc. Neato and/or Silly
This bike is, um, probably in need of better shocks. Also, a padded seat.
The Netherlands doesn't have enough criminals; has to close prisons. [NRC Handelsbad]
I don't know about you guys, but I think Bach sounds best when it's played by two girls running up and down a giant piano. [YouTube]
Britney Spear's "Womanizer" interpreted as a sign-language fanvid. Unexpected sexy is unexpected! [YouTube]
There's a new magazine called "Mine," which is like an analog version of an RSS feed. Slate reviews it here, likes it.
Links: Stuff I Want
The Star Trek oven mitt. So I can handle the hot buns better! (Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck). [Neatorama]
If I had a cat, I would buy it one of these crazy cat play houses. [Apartment Therapy]
I don't particularly want Diesel's new Freak of Nature watch, but I have an inexplicable urge to see Chris Pine wear it. maybe just this and nothing else.
This steampunk amp is totally fantastic.
All of these action figures and playsets are awesome, but I particularly like the "L'il Sideshow" ones.
Links: Fannish Misc.
After the TOTALLY STUPID AND WRONG news this week that there may be a new, non-Joss, non-original cast Buffy movie, this fan songvid pretty much sums up how I feel. (The song by itself can be listened to here.) ETA: Obviously, the lyric near the end about fanfiction being pathetic does not reflect my feelings.
lim has made a really cool tutorial on using Photoshop to make a Merlin tapestry. (Or whatever kind of tapestry-looking project you want.)
Isn't Heroes crying out for a fanvid set to "Jizz in My Pants"? The internet agrees!. (NOT EVEN A LITTLE SAFE FOR WORK.)
In "Flight of the Concords," Ep 12, Bret does an angry dance, based on Kevin Bacon's angry dance on Footloose. Both will make your day so much better (even if, like me, you have never watched any eps of Flight of the Concords, or even Footloose all the way through). Baby Kevin Bacon is so deLICIOUS.
Star Trek Cribs: The Director's Cut is so awesome I can't even explain.
Done and done! Now onto a freaking truckload of Star Trek recs!
