Pen and Ink: Another fun work disctraction

It started with that addicting sand art website and it continues on with Pen And Ink. Designer Andy Foulds created this flash-based site that allows you to draw whatever you want with the choice of black or red ink. Simple yet provides hours of mindless, non-productive, getting paid for web 2.0 doodling fun.

Transgender Day of Remembrance

So its been a long while since I’ve posted, being so busy with work and a musical I am currently in. But I have been working on this article for a while and now I’m glad its ready. I hope it do it justice.

For most people November 20th, is just another day. People in the United States are prepping for the holidays possibly making sure they have all the right elements ready for Thanksgiving. People in Mexico might be observing the Anniversary of the Revolution, Unicef has their Children’s Day, and a small percentage of people, like me, will be observing November 20th as Transgender Day of Remembrance.

So what is Transgender Day of Remembrance? Its a day not just for those of us who are transgendered, or any other gender-variant. Its a day that that is set aside for EVERYONE to bind together and remember those killed due to anti-transgender hatred. It first started to honor Rita Hester, who was murdered in November of 1998.

Ten Things Obama Won’t Do If He Becomes President

In a very short while Americans from all walk of life will journey to the polls to elect the 44Th president of these United States. There are lot of rumors flying about what an Obama presidency would resemble if he is elected president. The republican party are sending out emails and making phone calls about what Obama would do if he became president. They are trying to scare people about his associations, while trying to make him unpatriotic. Barack Obama has failed I believe to address these issues with more vigor, so to put some of the nonsense that is being said to rest, I have come up with a list of things you won’t see in an Obama administration. I hope this will wipe away some of the fears that some of us may have if he becomes president. [Read more]

AS SEEN ON TWITTER: Debate 08!

The presidential debate tweets were buzzing on Twitter Wednesday night. While McCain and Obama attempted to detail their fundamental differences, social media addicts were tearing McCain apart (probably due to Obama’s connection with younger web savvy voters). However, our internet friends like CNN reporter Rick Sanchez did raise a few quality talking points and questions; Who is Joe the Plumber? What do Obama and Whitney Houston have in common? How much volume can a Depends diaper take? What does Obama have against sex?

Let’s take a look at Debate 08’s Twitter highlights: [Read more]

PalinAsPresident.com

PalinAsPresident.com… Between this and wasting time creating internet art pieces like The Biggest Waste of Time you’re bound to get fired. Unless your boss is a Democrat. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tip Debs!

Don’t visit this website if you want to keep your job: thisissand.com

I spent over an hour making this digital sand art piece on ThisIsSand.com. Luckily, I was fortunate enough to NOT be at work. I don’t think I ever liked those sand arts and craft things anyways. If you dare to follow that link, here’s a tip: turn off your speakers.

Why I LOVE Betty White!

Just a quick one right now.

Here’s a vid of Betty White calling Sarah Palin a “Crazy Bitch” on Craig Ferguson!

Betty White is AWESOME!

Mozilla Releases First Shots of Mobile Firefox

Firefox junkies rejoice!  Mozilla has released the first shots of their highly anticipated Mobile Firefox, and apparently there will be 2 versions, a touchscreen and non-touchscreen version.  Joining the mobile browser wars will be another huge step for Firefox, which is currently the second most popular Web Browser to Internet Explorer.  Opera has already beaten Firefox to the punch as the first outside Browser for cell phones, so they better be packing some heat with this release.

My hope is that it will be highly supported with add-ons and extensions, so that you could basically turn the browser into your phones OS, and basically run everything right from the Firefox Browser, that may be getting a little bit ahead of ourselves, but this could be a Google Android fighter if they do it right.

Just Another Reason We Need To Legalize It

I’m not going to bore you at the moment with all of the other reasons that marijuana should be legalized, I think that most people believe that anyway. But here is another perfect example of the drug war having adverse effects on the lives of everyone in this country, and it isn’t going away. Grow operations on public land all over the country are completely unregulated, and in turn growers are using rat poison, other illegal chemicals, and poaching to make sure that their harvests yield the highest possible amount of marijuana.

The drug cartels that illegally grow aren’t going anywhere in the current situation. They will continue to find new locations to poison our environment to get their precious harvest. If we would just take a minute and think about this, it could all easily be avoided if the government opened marijuana and hemp up as a cash crop, tax it, and make sure that growers are not adversely effecting our environment and public health.

As Seen On Twitter: Weekly Round-Up 09.20.08

My oh my! Here we go. Welcome to the first edition of As Seen On Twitter, our weekly round-up of the inter-web’s most creative, witty and informative tweets! As expected, Vegas was the talk of the town with this year’s Blog World Expo taking over Sin City. CNN’s Rich Sanchez is actually a social media addict. The financial crisis was a buzz worthy topic, but the most memorable tweets came straight from your imaginative (possibly delusional) little brains. [Read more]

My prayers have been answered: FuckThatBand.com

The current music scene is saturated with talentless artists who rely too heavily on the number of MySpace friends and plays as a measurement of success and fame. Regardless of height, weight and body shape, these local celebrities all rock the same x-small screen printed t-shirt from American Apparel and the same pair of jeans they stole from their 15 year old girlfriends.

Unoriginal music influenced by successful unoriginal bands. It’s those same annoying hand gestures, lyrics, melodies, hairstyles and tattoos that make you think to yourself… “fuck that band!”

Seriously. This website is a blessing. FuckThatBand.com
