Enough Plumbers is SUCH a clever game, set in the Mario universe. It seems cutesy and annoying at first, but it really is a great puzzler. Haven’t quite finished it yet, but I particularly liked level 15 so far.

I dig these Lego patches for old buildings:

Remember those awesome outtakes from Ricky Gervais’s appearance on Sesame Street Well, here’s a clip from the show, Celebrity Lullabies (hang in there for the chorus):

I’m a little late with this, but just got around to reading it in full, Imagine if the Tea Party was Black:

Imagine that hundreds of black protesters were to descend upon Washington DC and Northern Virginia, just a few miles from the Capitol and White House, armed with AK-47s, assorted handguns, and ammunition. And imagine that some of these protesters —the black protesters — spoke of the need for political revolution, and possibly even armed conflict in the event that laws they didn’t like were enforced by the government? Would these protester — these black protesters with guns — be seen as brave defenders of the Second Amendment, or would they be viewed by most whites as a danger to the republic? What if they were Arab-Americans? Because, after all, that’s what happened recently when white gun enthusiasts descended upon the nation’s capital, arms in hand, and verbally announced their readiness to make war on the country’s political leaders if the need arose.

Imagine that white members of Congress, while walking to work, were surrounded by thousands of angry black people, one of whom proceeded to spit on one of those congressmen for not voting the way the black demonstrators desired. Would the protesters be seen as merely patriotic Americans voicing their opinions, or as an angry, potentially violent, and even insurrectionary mob? After all, this is what white Tea Party protesters did recently in Washington.

I love Ben Heine’s Pencil vs. Camera photos:

Great Nike commercial not made by Nike. Seeing Tiger in there is a little distracting, looks like this was made a bit before the meltdown:

Wow, how did I not know this, apparently you can start up a DVD and then hit Stop, Stop again, and Play to skip past all that annoying crap (FBI warnings, trailers, “you wouldn’t steal a car…”, etc.) and go right to the movie. I’m sure it won’t work in all cases, but it did work on the first three titles from our little collection that I tried at random.

Really interesting article on Steve Jobs' liver transplant and subsequent push to pass a law in California that will require the DMV to ask you if you’d like to become an organ donor (which may double the number of transplant organs available there):

But something about his whole experience still bothered Steve.

What bothered him was that while he, a very wealthy man, was surviving his liver’s failure, others were not so lucky. Specifically, he was upset because, while he was able to afford the costs of multiple-listing and a private jet that could ferry him to any hospital in the country at a moment’s notice, others in California could not; they had to stay in California and hope. He knew that 400 people died hoping.

And so, in a departure from a largely apolitical career, Steve decided to do something about it.

Ross Enamait has a good post and video up demonstrating a variety of exercises you can do with a $5 pair of furniture sliders/gliders.

Too damn funny: The Alot is Better Than You at Everything. I would buy a plush Alot.
