Odds & Ends... Mostly Odds
Time to clear out my file of unusual things and places online:
- I've tried to come up with something to say about this Valentine's Day gift. I even went through several versions of "You got chocolate in my peanut butter! You got peanut butter in my chocolate!" But Evan at CoolHunting is right; just let the picture speak for itself.
- Oh, those wacky Germans! Last week The Soup showed a snippet of David Hasselhoff's "Hooked on a Feeling" video, but you really have to see the whole thing. Dachshunds, angels, tribal rites, motorcycles... no, really, you have to see the whole thing.
- A Christmas & New Year's leftover: The folks at Enlighten have a nifty holiday party excuse generator. Lust after the host, but dreading the party? They'll give you that just-right out.
- Who looks really bad in high-definition? Check out the worst of the worst.
- I wish I'd thought of this: The Slanket, a blanket with sleeves.
- And this: A purse that recharges your gadgets.
- Whoa, this company goes far beyond the standard ice sculpture swans.
- My sister's looking for a superpowered alarm clock to wake up her oldest boy. I like this grenade alarm. But I especially like the idea of my Mary Tyler Moore-ish sister pulling the pin and running.
- At first glance, these teas are pretty cool. But I wonder if -- on a bleary-eyed morning -- these would look like little alien invaders.
- If you lose your socks in the dryer, Sockrush is for you.
- Go on, make a monkey of yourself!
- Author Lisa Gardner is running a contest to incorporate the name of your nemesis as a murder victim in her next book. Is it wrong that I have a whole list of entries?
