Is it wrong to fall in love with someone based solely on one YouTube video? I want to find him and marry him. We'd have an elaborate Mario-themed wedding complete with this cake.

xkcd is probably my favourite web comic. It offers a pretty accurate depiction of my life and my hopes and dreams, provides some nerdtacular scifi humour and other general hilarity.

This post is short because I'm at work.

Just another day like any other.

What do you look like while playing video games? Robbie Cooper's "Immersion is a project that records video of people “through the screen” as they play games, use the internet and watch TV."

Western movies have silly sound effects.

Wish you could find just the right ecard to express exactly what you're thinking? For that friend you haven't seen in a while... an acquaintance's birthday... your boss... all of my friends. Like them as much as I do? Get a t-shirt.

Wall-painted animation by Blu. You have to watch it more than once. You just can't help yourself.

Make yourself into an animal. Build Your Wild Self.

Three boxes of condoms, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Minute Maid juice boxes, cable TV. See what else celebrities demand on their backstage riders.

Meet Henri, a most depressing kitty. And in other strange cat video news...

A smoking two-year-old boy. Don't worry, he's allowed.

In other smoking children news... Babies used to sell cigarettes? A brilliant advertising campaign from Marlboro.

"Find a one on a corner, it's a mine. Find a three on a wall, they're all mines!"

A brand is basically whatever consumers think it is. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you see each brand? Try it backwards for even more brandtacular fun.

Starbucks isn't the only place to scoff at small, medium & large.

Willard Wigan creates the teeniest, tiniest sculptures imaginable.

Eggnog mmm.

I think I would fly more often if flight attendants still dressed like this.

The Glue Society are an amazing creative collective. They do radtastic things like this and get paid for it.

Wish you had a sweet beard? Now you can!

Many a terrible book has been purchased by me just because it is so pretty. See if you're better than me at judging books by their covers.

There is an awful lot of product placement in movies.

Can you believe this is a real commercial for a real tax company? Further investigation revealed that they have over 100 locations across 10 states and have more amazing commercials.

The best way to spend the next seven and a half minutes, guaranteed or your money back.

A plethora of typographic awesomeness.

If you enjoy looking at other people's family photos as much as I do, this collection of photos found in thrift store cameras is sure to please. This one is my favourite.

Check out embarrassing portraits and bad fashion choices at Sexy People. Hey, how did they get this one of me and my mom?

We Have Lasers!!!!!!!! provides more (mostly) 90s portrait goodness. Am I the only one who never got the laser background? I always wanted it. The closest I ever came was getting the books background once. Sigh.

Other people's grocery lists - there is just something so interesting about them. Aisle 12 (Goo).

Foundmagazine.com. The best source of found awesomeness on the web. This one was found in Dartmouth!

Jamie Livingston took a polaroid photo every day from March 31, 1979 until October 25, 1997, the day he died. I heard about this on CBC radio a while ago and was instantly intrigued.

Unicorns!

Unicorns are real, the bible says so... in 9 different places.

Strange things happen when you delve too deep into the world of online unicorns. (Warning: this site automatically plays midi music.)

A little bit of everything to kick things off.

At FAO Schwartz, you can design your own Muppet. It will arrive at your door in 3 to 4 weeks for only $90, which seems pretty reasonable to me.

Make your digital photos more interesting than they actually are with Poladroid.

My favourite commercial ever. Pure genius.

Annie Vought makes the crazy-awesomest cut paper art I've ever seen.

A website that states, "Warning: Belief-O-Matic™ assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul." must be interesting. (FYI: Apparently I am a Secular Humanist.)

Kill time with the ultra-addictive game, Doeo.
