While I was attending Geek.Kon, I ran across this little item. The guy basically runs around with this item every now and then.

He’s rode with the trailer in a couple different parades. Nothing more than moving a Coffin. And it’s not always the same coffin. Apparently, he moves coffins.

It does make for good conversation.

I actually can solve a Rubiks Cube. When I was a kid and we got our first cubes for Dorkmas, they were generic ripoffs. But the cool thing about them is they also came with instructions on how to solve.

Soon I was the King of the Cube on my block. I solved them with my hands. I solved them with my feet. I even solved them with Jedi Mind Powers….

Well, maybe not – But I could still solve a cube AND the pyrimid. After that, the interest dwindled away. I have been approached every now and then with a color-discombobulated cube. While I’m not the fastest, I can still do it.

If you want to solve your Rubiks Cube, well maybe this site will help. WrongWay.org has a program where you enter in the cube colors the way it looks on your cube. Hit the “Solve” button, and the program will give you the path to salvation.

Once you’ve solved it (without taking the stickers off), you can do it all over again. You might just find patterns that you can do to solve it without the website. Then you can do it with one foot hanging upside down blindfolded.

I must say, I am impressed. It’s not every day that we see the strength of the Purse smack. Yet, this is a perfect example of the illuminocity old people have. Don’t mess with them – They’ve been attacked by AARP and Social Security enough.

This group of skaters are lucky to still be alive….

This video is hilarious. Gesundheit little buddy.

If I went up and got a chance to talk to the President of the United States, I am not sure what I would say to him. Most likely I would shake his hand and say “I have some really cool websites you should check out…”

If you want to say something to the President, or even to the Democratic and Repulican Candidates, then maybe What Would You Say is for you. Here you can send a comment or even a video to support or question the person in your 5 minutes of fame.

So get your heads a scratchin as you try to figure out what to say. Real question is: Will they read it? Probably not.

Are you a Twitteraholic? Are you even on Twitter? Do you know what Twitter is? Well if this song doesn’t get you over there, then I don’t know what will.

Ben Walker is the artist. Here is the vider

Have you ever wanted to just sit in a public area and have a little fun by making the others a little uncomfortable? Well this guy did it. The Mall Prank Video is a small montage of clips recorded by Kevin Nalts, a “You Tube Comedian”. Basically, you create a funny video and post it on YouTube. That gives you instant dork status….

Here is a conundrum – I couldn’t find the video on his website (willvideoforfood.com)

Here is the video:

I suppose if you are going to market something, you might as well market it. That is what a popular store is trying. Not sure if it’s a computer glitch or someone thought it was hilarious to do. $9810 is a great discount.

This was a video that came out about a year ago. However it’s still prevalent to today. It shows us what the Internet has brought us. And although some of it wasn’t so good, some of it was funny and interesting.

Are you into Twitter? Are you into Digg? Well, maybe Dwigger is for you! Dwigger is a Twitter API with a Digg twist – you can simply Digg the Twitter.

Another cool idea that Dwigger has is to split up the Dwiggs by country. One thing I would ask them to think of is to not separate the US by location – maybe have a US category and location subcats.

Otherwise, if you’re a Twitter Dork, then maybe Dwigger is the program to play with. Wouldn’t it be cool if Dwigger was supported in Twhril? Hint, hint, hint…

Are you a prolific or even ostentatious writer? Do you want to embrace others with your plethora of vocabulary skills? Maybe you just want to ‘Git er done’ with words.

Well, look no further for Wordie is your answer to all this. Simply sign up and start writing. Add the fancy words, as well as the down home stuff. See what others are talking about. Add to the information. Put in a citation and be a Wordiaholic! (I just made that one up. Good, eh?)

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.
