Pipe Good Movies to Your Netflix Queue
This will only be handy for the feed-savvy, but there’s a great Yahoo! Pipe you can subscribe to, Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh to Netflix. So highly rated RT movies go into the feed and show up in your feed reader, and when you click through, it takes you to the Netflix listing for that movie so you can queue it.

Gay Sex vs. Straight Sex
The hits just keep on coming from OkTrends, Gay Sex vs. Straight Sex. The data diving has been top notch all the way along, but the commentary is getting funnier. An example, in discussing a “gay curious” U.S. map:
Awesomely, the mountain West lives up to its Brokeback reputation, and Canada is orange nearly coast-to-coast. Even in the yellow and blue areas, you can see pockets of gay curiosity in interesting places: Austin, Madison, Asheville. Anywhere soy milk is served, basically.

Smell Like a Monster
Could any other monster spoof the Old Spice guy better than Grover? I think not.

A Cat with a Plan
It’s a couple years old and has eight million views, so you’ve almost certainly seen it, but it was new to me and I laughed so check out the action on this single-minded cat.

Volpin Props Builds Ultramarines Bolt Pistol
I just love the Volpin Props detailed build posts, and the latest is no exception: Ultramarines Bolt Pistol. Also, bonus, he links to this incredible model of the Hellboy Samaritan, also with great build photos, made almost entirely from paper.

Nooski Mouse Traps
By all accounts Nooski mouse traps really are better. I’ve had great luck with the Snap-E traps myself, but these do look impressive. And vaguely unsettling? I guess clean quick deaths are good (something I’ve had with the Snap-Es too).

Making a Jarvi Bench
You may think, “no way I’m watching a 16-minute woodworking video”, but you’d be wrong. “Mike Jarvi badassedly constructs his signature one-piece, the Jarvi Bench”. One piece! Watched it twice!

True Grit Trailer
The Coen Brothers remake of True Grit with Jeff Bridges, Josh, Brolin, and Matt Damon has a trailer. Can’t wait. Sometimes the Coen’s disappoint me mightily, but I’m betting this will not be one of those times.
