Just say no to online photos!


This is a hilarious site - it's flogging something called "FlickerBlockers" and honestly, the photogallery itself is a great reason to visit.

Yum / Uhm?



Check this out, this person went out and got the promo shots of each fast food item and then immediately photographed it with what they ordered.

Now, here's a little quiz for the folks playing out there. One of the pictures is a product shot, and the other is from the website. I know it'll be hard, but guess which one is which!

2007 - The Year of Vonnegut



"Player Piano" is Vonnegut's first novel.

Kurt Vonnegut attended Cornell University and wrote for the Daily Sun - which he said was the most enjoyable part of college.

Kurt Vonnegut's mom committed suicide on Mother's Day.

Vonnegut was a POW, and was one of seven American POWs to survive the firebombing of Dresden.

"If you want to disappoint your parents but don't have the nerve to be gay, go into the arts"

After the war, Vonnegut attended the University of Chicago and wrote a thesis on the similarities between Cubist painting and Native American uprisings of the 1800s. The university rejected the thesis, but later gave him a degree after accepting his novel Cat's Cradle.

Vonnegut was interviewed by Jon Stewart.

Kurt Vonnegut has died.

This may be a cool new do-hickey....

Okay, so I like to listen to music - who doesn't, right? Sometimes I feel like my musical tastes are so much better - especially on those days I am subjected to someone else's music. So, this was a cool discovery - this site links to your itunes library, and you can create a profile, and find other people who like what you like, and this is the best part - it'll recommend music (or people) based on your music choices.
