Classic music to some classic bickering

In the days of black and white television, there were no Real Worlds, American Idols, or Survivors to keep our minds blissfully entertained; just good old fashion live comedy skits. Funny man legacy, Sid Caesar and partner Nanette Fabray deftly display a bickering couple with hands flaying wide and brows furrowed to limit to the classically renowned music of Beethoven’s 5th. This five-minute sketch is sure to show the timeless acts of 1950s television.

How’d you get to be so happy?

Once upon a time, there was a little town some 4,627 miles away. In this cheerful town, there was man; a man with perfectly styled hair and a pressed white suit that always woke up on the right side of the bed…

Google Gets in the Myspace Game

Google Friend Connect

There are new social networks popping up all over the place and aside from Myspace, Facebook and Linked In, there isn’t really any competition. That could change though. Google has decided to try their hand at the friend finding fad and has announced Google Friend Connect which should be live right now. The only difference here though, is that they are giving everyone else the ability to add social network features to their own website.

Advice for Men: Keep Your Head Up

Old Guys in a Locker Room

Has anyone ever told you to look at them when they are talking to you? Or that your confidence is lacking? You probably have a problem with keeping your head up. Don’t look at your feet; be proud and look up.

So how do you this? No, you don’t need a therapist or some kind of life coach. All you need is a gym membership. That’s right. You don’t even need to workout. Just shower there. Keeping your head up while in the locker room will help cease the wandering eyes; you don’t want to be caught looking below the belt. Especially at a hardcore weight lifting steroid crazy musclehead. A couple of trips to the locker room will teach you to keep your head high and eyes straight at all times.

The work of James Jean

It’s always a great experience to discover an artist you knew nothing about. Either a new and emerging artist or an artist that lived centuries ago- encountering any new art that speaks to you can be awe inspiring.

Droog Do Hit Chair

Smash-a-chair

Ever hit your funny bone on the corner of a wall? Or stub your toe on the coffee table leg? How about slam your thumb in the car door? And the only thing you can think about is pounding the hell out of something to alleviate frustration and pain?

Well, for a mere $5,924, Unica Home supplies a 39.3″ x 27.5″ x 29.5″ cube made from .04″ steel that you can hammer (sledge hammer included) to your heart’s content, easing your throbbing joint, into a fabulous functional piece of art. And for the not-so-artistically-inclined folks, you can buy a ready made crumpled cube for $6,718. If you plan on really using this piece to sit and relax, be sure to get a nice plump cushion to prevent any sharp metal from poking the behind.

Rant of the Week: I Hate People and Their Dirty Tricks

Craigslist Flag Picture

I work in the very competitive industry of internet marketing so I’ve seen my fair share of dirty tricks. Some people don’t care about the way they do business as long as they’re #1. This isn’t the way I work though. I work hard to get my clients lots of business and I do it legitimately.

This is why this new software I just heard about pisses me off. What it does is trick Craigslist into thinking that other peoples posts are spam and will delete them. It will click on those “flag as spam” links several times on the competitors posting and will make it look like it has come from unique IP addresses.

Homer Simpson Drawn in CSS

Homer Drawn in CSS

Do you know what CSS is? If not, it stands for Cascading Style Sheets and the code it uses gives website the styles (fonts, colors, backgrounds, etc.) that are visible to the user. I know CSS enough to understand it and work with it a little bit.

Tangled Wires Are Actually Art

Cable Lamp

Everybody has this problem somewhere in their home. At least I think they do. Tangled wires. I have this problem in just about every possible place you can think of in my house, but I’m a tech geek so I’ve got electronics everywhere. Now, I’ve always thought this was quite ugly, and I’m even embarrassed by it sometimes, but maybe there isn’t a reason for me to worry about it after all.

South Korean designer, Kwangho Lee has taken the idea of messy wires and has created these “artistic” lamp sculptures. What he does is strips down a lamp to basically nothing and weaves the exposed cable into various designs, as you can see from the photo above. So what do you think? Gonna get one? Check out some more pictures here.
