Monday Pick-Me-Up: Electronics for Cats
Why spend your hard-earned money on catnip mice, string, and whiffle balls with jingle balls in the middle when you can buy an iPad for $600 to keep your cat entertained? How long do you think it took before that guy had to take his iPad back to the Apple store for repairs? Happy Monday! [...]

Monday Pick-Me-Up: TV’s Bloopers and Practical Jokes
Do you remember TV’s Bloopers and Practical Jokes? I always looked forward to seeing Dick Clark and Ed McMahon when they aired these wonderful shows and showcased the cream of the crop of the golden age of TV outtakes.

Monday Pick-Me-Up: Baby Got Back in the style of Jonathan Coulton
It’s always interesting to me when people take songs and play them in a completely different style. Sometimes the results are beautiful, sometimes I prefer the original, and sometimes they have me holding onto my sides from laughter. Here, Jonathan Coulton turns the classic rap song “Baby Got Back” and turns it into a compelling [...]
