THIS is the opposite of something I featured before. Instead of suggesting books you would like based on what you enjoyed, it tells you what you will NOT enjoy reading. (i.e. If you enjoyed Confessions of a Shopaholic, you will NOT enjoy The Godfather.)

THIS is a new project by Google. You type in a few words and it will add to the list with words that are similar in some way.

Um...

THESE crayon rings are pretty sexy. In theory, you could probably make your own for less than the $50 for 10 they're asking, but you're paying for the use of their molds, I suppose.

Also, they are the creators of the "Strict Chair." Does it make you think of Chuck E Cheese, too?

I love my Scout unconditionally. But really- he needs to not ever eat at the table. THESE dishes are designed to allow your dog to dine with you. I don't judge. You should definitely check out the rest of her site, though. Her ideas for products include a cell phone that gets random texts to make you seem popular and headphones that play one track inwardly and plays another one softly out, so you can listen to embarrassing music with out being... well, embarrassed.

Get it? It's a Banana Hammock!

Portia Apologizes.

Two slices of bread. One slice of bologna. One piece of lettuce. One piece of cheese.

Dollhouse

It's a tv show. An AWESOME tv show. I'll copy the summary from IMDB:

"The show follows an organization that employs mind-wiped DNA-altered humans known as Dolls who are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. When they are not 'at work' they are living in a real life Dollhouse which gives the show the name. One of those mind-wiped humans, a young woman named Echo, is slowly starting to become aware of herself and what's going on - all the while somebody on the outside is trying to bring the Dollhouse down while getting closer to Echo - possibly not aware that she is one of the Dolls he is after."

Plus, its by Joss Whedon, the creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Dollhouse. Watch it.

Meteor Games

You can view their website HERE. They have a lot of great ideas for games, just not the budget. I'm very excited for their "Vikings, Pirates, Ninjas" game. They had a very neat game coming out, Twin Skies, but unfortunately, due to the economy, they couldn't. Stupid economy.

Irony.

I made this for Facebook's Bumper Sticker Application, but it won't let me upload it, so you'll have to do.

Neat Watches.

THIS watch is nice, so long as you follow the schedule on it in your everyday life. Otherwise, its not very useful. Maybe if the manufacturers made it customizable...?

I find THIS watch depressing. It is called The Accurate, because the hands say," Always remember you will die." Cheery, eh?"

And finally, the watch for the indecisive, Ben. That white dot has yes or no every second, so all you have to do, Ben, is look at the watch to decide.

Ah-Mahzing

Try visiting PlugIntoTheSmartGrid, where you'll see something called "Open the Door to the Smart Grid." Click, and you'll be taken to a page that gives instructions. If it doesn't work on one of the buttons, try the other. It's really cool.

mMm. I like THIS bracelet from Cut & Paste. It's very natural.

I Wonder...

What life would be like today if from the beginning of time, women were acknowledged as superior*? Someone should write a Sci-Fi story about that.
