I Am Awesome

Epic Spam

I received one of the most epic pieces of spam yesterday. It was an attempted comment on my other blog for a post that’s 6 years old (and full of broken links). Here it is, in its entirety:

The weirdest part? It’s an attempt to get traffic to a site about Lyme Disease called LymeDiseaseReview. It looks like it was a blog set up last month with a lot of self-linking, but no advertising. I’m not exactly sure what this person is getting out of spam comments like this?

Not sure how I missed this video by McG & Takashi Murakami.

I already thought Kirsten Dunst was cute…

Motivational Speaker of the Year

This guy? Not so awesome, but definitely committed (or maybe should be).

I agree with Nathan Clarke on this one.

This is the natural outcome of far too many self-styled self-help gurus. I laughed out loud (really loud).

Feed the Animals With Real-Time Sample List

An enterprising individual has written an HTML5 page that plays Feed the Animals by Girl Talk with a real-time list of samples that load as you play each track. On the Awesome-O-Meter™, it gets an 8.

Jay-Z, Apple, and SQL Go Together Like Crappy SEO

This just showed up as a comment awaiting moderation on my other blog:

Thanks for sharing this post, I found this article while googling for some information on SQL, useful comments and great points made.

The title of the blog post in question? Apple Inspired by Disney from 2004. The topic? How what looks like a FireWire logo is in the floor of the ship in Flight of the Navigator. I doubt that post came up while googling for SQL info. What’s even more perplexing is the link provided by the spammer: www.musiclyricsnow.net/j/jayz/forever-young/

So, spammers & SEO idiots — still not awesome.

Japan – Still Awesome

Welcome to Samurai Camp, a fitness regime that fuses ritualised 16th century swordsmanship, an imaginary bloodbath and throbbing techno music — and which has captivated 21st-century Japanese woman.

Someone tell me why I’m not living in Japan…

This might prove to be a complete drain on my free time… I really hope we have card-stock at home.

Lego Popup

This is by far the most impressive Lego work I’ve ever seen.

Also, sidenote: I’ve been to this temple in Japan.]
