Who says cleaning isn’t fun?

Paul Curtis is a Reverse Graffiti artist. What is reverse Graffiti? Well, you take a wire brush and detergent, then start cleaning walls and other items in artistic patterns. A dirty wall can become a landscape. A filthy sign can get a new pattern to enhance. Best part, it’s all easily removable with a little more elbow grease.

Environmental Graffiti shows off the work of Moose (aka Paul Curtis) and others. If you want to learn more, just check out the Environmental Graffiti Project.

Even Kids need a place to go on the internet. So why not Kidsland? Thinkout Solution LLC, released their first official KidsLand service. With games, movies and activities, this site is set to teach youngsters while keeping them entertained.

It looks like a great site. Unfortunately, it does come with a price. $6.95 a month or $62.95 a year, which is a $20 savings. Then again if it helps your kid become more successful in class, then it would be worth it, right? At least the BLOG is free.

So your question might be: Is this really a dorky thing? YES! It’s about kids and it’s about learning. That’s cool-dorky stuff. Edumatcate!

Kidsland is in Beta right now.

Go to Kidsland!

What is a Bedbook? Well, it’s a book that’s printed sideways. Why you ask? Well apparently not everyone eats cookies or plays on the laptop in bed - they read.

While I don’t understand that, there may be some who do. For them, this system may be more comfortable for them in reading. There are many titles available, so check it out. Maybe someday Dorkazine will be in a sideways book. You never know….

Read Books Sideways! The Easy Way.

I used to read MAD Magazine all the time. There are so many great things about it. The parodies, Sergio Aragones, Spy vs. Spy, The cool inserts and extra comics.

But the one thing that really made MAD magazine stand out was the last page. Al Jaffee took a rather mundane drawing and made you turn it into something special. You would see a page with a caption on top. The caption would be missing the ‘punchline’, so to get it, you would have to fold the page into itself. The end result would be a humorous look at the same picture.

There have been a lot of fold-ins over the years. And now you can see them all again. The New York Times published a great Flash Animation that highlights some of the fold-ins that Jaffee created. You just place the mouse over the right side of the page and drag to the left to reveal the hidden caption.

Check out the New York Times Article, then go to the official MAD Magazine site. Relive your childhood days - that is unless your a child, then pick up a magazine and see what we mean.

I think we’re sticking on the Bacon theme here. Are you a chocolate lover? Well maybe you would like Bacon Chocolate? Vosges Chocolates has created chocolate with the flavor of bacon. Yum.

Just don’t put it in your bacon cooking alarm clock. You might have a bit of a mess in the morning….

Ever wanted your own ATM? Maybe a knife block shaped like a human head. Or… oh! Bacon’s ready and it’s time to wake up!

If you are looking for that weird item, then maybe you should check out http://www.wackyinventions.com/. They have some of the most interesting stuff out there. Including the alarm clock that cooks your bacon. I hope it refrigerates it while you sleep.

*Warning* They do implement a pop-up ad system on the site. It’s a one click pop-up.

This is a picture gallery - click on the picture, get the info on the item. Very straightforward in design.

Weird Inventions... OH! BACON!
