Wowza, a big thank you to Michele for posting a link to this collection of “classic post-punk music videos”. A Contortions video? Excellent.

Posted a while ago, but it’s new to me: Fashion ads from Ebony Magazine, 1970 - ‘76. Oh my.

J.F.K.

The NYT has an interesting read on the J.F.K. assassination, and shares an opinion I hadn’t heard before.

ElfYourself

Upload your photo if you’re craving some Christmas cheer: Elf Yourself. Or you can do what I did and just use famous mugshots. There’s something really creepy about a jolly John Wayne Gacy.

Not a Cough in a Carload

Not a Cough in a Carload, “Images from the Tobacco Industry Campaign to Hide the Hazards of Smoking”. Quite interesting and in a well done format. Some great ad scans in there.

Visual Walkthroughs

There aren’t too many there yet, but if you’re stuck in a newer game and want some help, Visual Walkthroughs is a good idea.

Google Earth

This is another good collection of images taken from Google Maps (or Earth). A few I’ve seen elsewhere but some are new to me.

Coffee Shop

Run your own Coffee Shop (or coffee cart really). While not close to reality, this game reaffirms my belief that I should never work with coffee.

Games

I love online games, I think anyone who visits here knows I post enough of them. Rather than pick one every now and then I’ve opened a new site for just games. Check it out if you like my game-related posts. I may get bored quickly, who knows, but I thought that about this place and I’ve been posting here for 7 years so go figure.

The People’s Mario

This Flash video shows a slightly more stylized and violent Mario (he of the Bros. fame) than I’m used to. Not safe for work if animated blood is a no-no.

The Free Dictionary is a lot like Wikipedia, but it’s nice to have options.

Weng Weng

I’m sure that I’m amazingly late to the internet party, but I had never heard of Weng Weng until a friend told me about him today. What in the Hell is this all about and why can I not stop watching?

Visit Pooh Corner to learn a bit of history about the famous bear (and friends).

Crackle

Crackle is yet another take on Youtube, and yet another with much better quality. Seriously, Youtube is just terrible overall, I wish someone would seriously challenge them. Oh yes, Crackle. Not much here, but I did like some of the Screen Bites.

ElectroCity

ElectroCity is like a mini, environmentally-friendly version of SimCity.
