Probably going to be a very light blogging week, as tomorrow night is the only night I don’t sprint off to rehearsals or concerts immediately after work (this weekend’s concert is going to be awesome — hope to see you there!). Meanwhile, here’s Edmus a single button multiplayer online game that changes daily, is so stupidly simple, but addicting as crack.
Happy Mother’s Day
I want to wish all moms out there a happy mother’s day, and while it may not be the most difficult job in the world (censored naughty language warning)…
…it’s certainly the most important job in the world.
(It’s a joke people, relax…Happy Mother’s Day everyone.)
The Best Michael Bolton Song Ever
Warning, some naughty language, but this is the best I’ve ever seen Michael Bolton:
Random Bin Laden Links
While you don’t have to look too hard to find Bin Laden news lately, I thought these few links were interesting.
- This photo from the White House photostream really tells a great story about what our country’s leaders were going through when the attack was going down.
- If you want the best unbiased news about this whole thing, Aljazeera’s the best source, and their round-up of reaction from world leaders (on both sides) was really interesting.
- An interesting graphical look at New York Times readers’ reaction.
- Two popular quotations that have come out of these events that have been attributed to Mark Twain and Martin Luther King Jr. are both being mis-attributed.
- This actually came before Bin Laden’s death, but since there are stories now that there might be cuts in the military, this story from last week was an interesting foreshadow.
Little Time Killer For The Afternoon
Spike – A Love Story is a funny little single-button game that dives into the world of being a lovelorn spike trap.
Think You Could Build A Toaster? From Scratch?
I’m Thomas Thwaites and I’m trying to build a toaster, from scratch – beginning by mining the raw materials and ending with a product that Argos sells for only £3.99. A toaster.
A very interesting and well-presented project.
Good Question
So now that Bin Laden is toast, can we bring a bottle of shampoo on the plane?
Seriously, though, does anybody thing anything will change? Really, he probably hasn’t been involved in anything for over a decade, and this will probably just anger his followers and security will be tighter and basic constitutional rights will still be limited. Ideally, the Patriot Act would go away, but I seriously doubt it.

The Power Of Words
It’s amazing what some good marketing and well-written copy will do:
Time Killer For The Night
You get hammer, shovels, and/or ladders, and you have to get all the keys and open the door. Sounds simple, but Pick and Dig is a load of fun.
