Fauxtograph

The goal of the fauxtograph is to pretend to set the timer for a photograph... only you're filming. The goal is to see how long it takes before they get suspicious.

Maybe it's not always the best medicine....

I present to you....the most frightening workout video I have ever come across.

YIKES!

Be careful driving when you're traveling for the holidays! And if this ever happens to you...it's probably not a good idea to get out of the car and stand close to the pile up. Just saying...

Ugh..what is the world coming to?

**ATTENTION PARENTS! PLEASE DO NOT REINFORCE THIS BEHAVIOR.**

Lunar Eclipse

If you were watching dvred shows (like the Sing Off) or sleeping and happened to miss the lunar eclipse last night...well now you can watch it!!

Picking Up Butch



I found this on a blog and the caption reads, " I hope you have $75 in Monopoly money, because you’re about to buy the Water Works."

So true.

A Little Facebook Fun

















Triangle Spokes Group

No this post isn't a hilarious viral video or an entertaining picture from CatalogLiving, but it's to support a pretty fun cause! The Triangle Spokes Group is a philanthropic organization that uses all of the donations they gain and put it towards the purchase of brand new bikes. These bikes go to underprivileged children in the Triangle region of North Carolina during Christmas time.

TSG now has the opportunity to raise even more money by winning this Touchy Tags competition. This company, which sells trendy baby tags that are placed on strollers and car seats, is giving 5% of their profit from 2011 to the nonprofit that receives the most votes.


If you are wondering why you should vote for this organization over the others...then watch the following clip:


PLEASE VOTE!!

Who says women always think about clothes?

A man is at home struggling with extreme chest pain and tries to call 911. When the call finally connects, he can't speak because he is having trouble breathing. So who takes over? His adorable 5 year old daughter named Savannah. She stays calm when handling the emergency at hand but is concerned about how she will look when the EMTs come.

Mmmm.. pine


Grace was pleased with herself, having escaped being eaten by hiding in this cluster of trees.

But why was it so warm, she wondered as her smile literally melted.

Spice up your life

People usually walk a fine line when it comes to keeping the integrity of the original structure of a classic song while adding a hint of their own style. Although some people dislike reconstructions of a piece, I am really enjoying this spicy arrangement of Tchaikovsky's Sugar Plum Fairy song featured in the Nutcracker.

What a find! Now that's what I call creative!

The following article and photos were taken from thehuffingtonpost.com (more specifically http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/04/european-beard-championsh_n_749286.html#s149759 )

"Hirsute men from eight countries curled, primped and even blow-dried their facial hair in preparation for the European Beard And Moustache Championship, held high in the Austrian Alps this weekend, the AFP reports.

The event drew about 150 participants to the town of Leogang, not far from Salzburg. According to MSNBC, men competed in 17 eccentric categories, including "Freestyle Beard," "Natural Moustache" and "Verdi," with the winner of the latter category bearing a style akin to the famous 19th century Italian composer Giuseppi Verdi."

Groupon = Love

Normally I am a fan of putting up hilarious or adorable videos I have stumbled upon recently, however I am going to change it up a little for this post. (I know...hang on...this one's gonna be a doozy!)

So you know those ridiculous people that love clipping coupons and holding up lines with the thousands of them that they found online or in the paper?...yeah. That's me. So I have decided to share my most recent love, where my passion for getting the best deals and clipping coupons to save money combine into this one awesome superhero of a site.

I introduce to you..drumroll please..Groupon. (if you've already heard of this then congrats! you have probably gotten a bunch of delicious deals under your belt--you should also check out livingsocial) Anyway..back to the thing that is the current apple of my eye (this is starting to sound more like an advertisement but I promise that it's just my new obsession)....

This site allows you to sign up for free and peruse the best deals in your neighborhood that (unless you are a groupon member) won't find anywhere else. For example, say you love this really fancy and expensive restaurant and you've been dying to go but money is a little tight...well lucky for you there might just be a groupon for it! You can purchase a coupon for $10 to this restaurant and it could be worth enough to cover two tasty meals! WOO HOO! Now that's what I call a deal.

Don't get it? Maybe it's easier to understand if you just check it out. http://www.groupon.com/

In other words, for all those people trying to save money and bargain shop...this is the site for you. It's not grocery coupons people...this is ice cream shop, golf course, theater, concert, festival, outdoor activities, spa and restaurant coupon central.

I less than three it.

the end.

Grown-up dress-up

You've seen them. Pictures of odd fashion from Japan. I had no idea about why a lot of people tend to enjoy playing dress-up in public. I suggest you read this first because I found it very interesting.

Weird Hotels

Thinking about the hamster hotel that was posted awhile back, I decided to look up other strange hotels. I ran into a couple ice hotels that were breathtaking, and probably made breathing very hard. I found a room for two living in an old sewer pipe (for those who recycle), and a old jet that was turned into a hostel.

This one is part of a series about living underwater. This underwater hotel room is located on a lake near Stolkholm. The cabin boasts a ladder that leads one to a room to watch the fishes (and sleep with the fishes.) You can look at more pictures here if you're looking for a vacation.

Childhood



Despite his age, Gary still held on to the childhood belief that when dinner ended he should leave a baguette on his chair for the Starch Fairy.

Parkouring it

Parkour is defined by Wikipedia as "the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one's path by adapting one's movements to the environment."

Now that's what I call talent!

I'll be honest, ever since American Idol appeared on TV, talent shows have popped up everywhere. They have them for dancing, singing and anything that entertains a crowd.

Now normally I would laugh as I watched America's Got Talent air band sensations or magic tricks but they actually found a mind blowing 10 year old girl.

How Does the Internet See You?


MIT students have created a fun online project that aggregates Internet information about you (your names appearance in various online formats and the different personas it forms). Figure out how the Internet sees you!

The World Tri

The World Tri(athalon) follows Charles Whittmack (his wife and 2 year old son are along for the adventure) swim 275-miles down the River Thames in England and across the English Channel to France. From France, he'll be doing a 9000-mile bike ride across Europe and Asia. The triathlon finishes with a 950-mile run to the summit of Mount Everest. Crazy man!

The webpage has entertaining blogs and videos that are quite enjoyable. Even for those non-athletic like myself.

Music To My Ears

Have you ever wished that your life was like a musical? Or maybe that something spontaneously amazing occurred around you?

These commercials sure make me want that to happen to me...even if it is to market a product!





Sandy Art



Joe Mangrum makes sand art. Each day he finds a new concrete canvas and each day he cleans up afterwards. CNN's video story here.

I find it amazing how man-made items can be as gorgeous as nature. Beautiful.

"You just had to show off your yarn ball"

Quick news update: I just realized I made a mistake with the wrong Kung Fu Panda video. Here is the actual one I found interesting. No longer in fast forward!

I also have a favorite new website! Catalog Living follows the exciting (and fictional) lives of Elaine and Gary, a couple who enjoy living in those Pottery Barn catalogs.

Birds on the Wires

“Birds on the Wires”, a beautiful video created by Jarbas Agnelli of São Paulo was created after he saw a picture in a newspaper.

Clever ads are the best. The New England Aquarium has a new ad campaign devoted to their penguins that is definitely worth sharing.
