Topic: Web Insanity
So my day long job took about twenty minutes, from manually deleting Creature Creator to installing the new Spore game. We followed the manual deletion information in the message board post and everything worked perfectly. Those spore creatures are something else: the creature and the babies were funny enough -when you add two creatures with mating calls, mating dances, and two crazy creatures absolutely ecstatic when an egg hatches and a baby comes out...it's all just too funny. The look of utter joy on their faces when they see their little offspring is hilarious! It's not often you see such unbridled and unrestrained joy in anything...computer game or or real life or otherwise. I think if I'm ever seriously depressed these egg hatching creatures would be a real pick me up.
They do form tribes and build civilizations and then engage in space battles, but the early phases of these things as cells and creatures, that's the real fun part.
Now for a few little weird things found on the world weird web. They are still out there, but not in the quantities we enjoyed back in the golden age of weird ca. 2003.
Let's begin with this little flash game Play with Spider: http://www.onemotion.com/flash/spider/ Spider is a Mexican red knee tarantula and you can make it walk, or you can feed it insects with the space bar. If you grab one of her legs with the mouse button and swing her around all over the place, her legs knot up for a while and then she takes a bit of time to un-knot her legs. Second of fun, guaranteed!
Next. from As seen on CBS, we have a great t-shirt: Know your Spock. http://cbs.seenon.com/detail.php?p=65119&v=cbs-startrek&SESSID=f458f6b41e67173de7e689b4c8249b3f it will help those who are still uncertain differentiate between good Spock and Evil Spock. Know what I'd like to see? I'd like to see Horatio Caine go evil. That would be cool. Then we could have a "know your Caine" t-shirt instead of these lame-ass dog tags: http://cbs.seenon.com/detail.php?p=57621 or the even lamer CSI Rubik's cube. (no link) CSI las Vegas has far cooler stuff, such as the knife tshirt: http://cbs.seenon.com/detail.php?p=57203 and the pen holder and cup holder: http://cbs.seenon.com/detail.php?p=57205
Next is for the home improvement enthusiast, an outlet that can take three plugs! http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=68465&minisite=10026 or as they call it, the triplex receptacle. Let's face it, outlets need more than just two places to plug in things. Three is a good number, perfect for the p;lace behind the bed. You now have a place for two bedside lights and the alarm clock. Perfect! What could be better?
Here's a blog with all sorts of optical illusions. http://www.moillusions.com/ You can add an illusion a day application to your facebook page. Cool. Sort of.
For the nerd in your life: a collection of pocket protectors, page after page after page: http://www.pojman.com/PP/pocket_protectors/index2.html
Edit: a couple images and links are gone due to strange scraper bots using the pair of images and links as beacons.
And how about a silly quiz with a silly little badge for your blog? Try the "will you survive?" quiz. http://www.ugotitfirst.com/quizzes/enviro1/ Here's my results:
Because this blog is called the Litter Box and we all know that litter boxes are associated with one specific area of the cat it is with great pleasure i present this link to the hallowed halls of The Cat Butt Museum: http://www.catbuttmuseum.com/index.html Any museum that features nothing but cat butts is a fine place in my opinion.
For fans of "____ a day" calenders comes this unbelievable calender: the pop a bubble wrap bubble a day calender. http://www.bubblecalendar.com/ This is so cool! I quick trip to the place that sells bubble wrap for packing, a couple pieces of art board, and some glue and I can make a calender like this for everyone I know! That would be so cheap-ass perfect!
Finally, a web loony! This is a collection of You-tube videos that belong to, for lack of a better word, a raving loony: http://www.youtube.com/user/dbootsthediva She's also known as that Crazy Rainbow Lady. This woman believes in chemtrails, that the government is putting something in the water, that there are strange magnetic waves everywhere, and she has the very poorly filmed videos to prove it. There are 48 videos of sun dogs, sun halos, clouds, bad camera techniques, and other natural phenomenon that prove...something. Sadly, she removed her most famous video, the one where a water sprinkler made a really pretty rainbow which proved that there were chemicals like metallic salts in the water that made the rainbows because 20 years ago water sprinklers didn't make rainbows in the sun. Fortunately for us, such lunacy is never gone forever, not when other people have saved it to their youtube accounts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck7A9vufrX4&feature=related Yikes!
So that's all the insanity for now. All I have to say about Project Runway: What a terrible bunch of dresses and Boy! Natalie Portman is SHORT! Hemp is a bee0tch to sew at the best of times, and silk/hemp blends...it's a bit like lipstick on a pig... and one more thing...Vegan shoes are NOT green or environmentally friendly in the least! They are made of PLASTIC! that's what animal friendly leather is: PLASTIC! Plastic comes for petrochemicals and there is nothing in the oil industry that is good for the earth. The production of oil and oil related by products such as plastics kills animals. And there is nothing in the manufacturing process for plastic that is animal friendly or "green" or good for the environment. Leather, on the other hand is all natural, biodegradable, and can be organically and naturally raised and tanned. Leather is a a far more earth friendly and over all animal friendly material that plastic. And that's the end of my rant.
Later!
