Happy Halloween, care for an eyeball cupcake? My wife made them and I helped frost them and put the eyeballs on top.
Are you lazy? Then ICE ROCKS® are for you
I can’t believe that there are people so lazy that they need to buy “pre-fab” ice cubes. Ice Rocks are individually sealed compartments of water, kinda like a sealed ice tray. Too lazy to fill an ice tray at your faucet? Just buy Ice Rocks and throw them in the freezer. I think the environment friendly claim of the recyclable “trays” falls a bit flat considering you could just use the same fifty cent plastic tray from Target for years without it going in a landfill.

VR helmet run amok
Now I’m as big a fan of VR hardware (goggles etc.) as the next guy but I think this helmet is going a bit too far.

Want a virus with your Happy Meal?
Okay so it was a worm/trojan and not a virus but I wonder how many of these poor people even know what hit them?
Winners of 10,000 MP3 players given away in a Japanese fast-food promotion got more than they bargained for, as their prizes contained a worm. If they connect the music players to their computers to fill them with songs then the worm, WORM_QQPASS.ADH, can infect the computers and steal personal data.

nougart.net gives you measles
Well that’s their tagline anyway over at nougart.net. I was searching for today’s random internet image and found the cool doodle below which led me to the site and some other funny doodles.

Who needs XBox?
Who needs Xbox, I discovered an NES emulator that allows you to play the old 8-bit games right in your browser (via Java). Thanks again Mangoat!

The Bitter Waitress Shitty Tipper Database
A buddy of mine found the Bitter Waitress site and the best part is the Shitty Tipper Database. Waitstaff can enter in the check total & tip amount/percentage plus comments. There are some good ones in there, you just have to poke around. One thing I don’t like is that the site assumes anything under 17% is a shitty tip which I think is unfair.

It’s like brushing with a Jolly Rancher
I used to use the orange flavored Crest toothpaste but since I can’t find it anymore I bought Fructodent Toothpaste in green apple flavor. Damn if it doesn’t taste like you are brushing with a Jolly Rancher candy.

A pet owner and a geek
Yes, I actually used a spare Cat5 cable to extend my dog’s leash at work. I wanted her to be able to wander a little farther away from my chair than her normal leash would reach.
And yes I named my dog Saratoga after the WWII aircraft carrier.

Cool tree spider
My buddy at work snapped this picture of a Green Lynx Spider on his orange tree over the weekend. The leaf is about 2″x4″ so that tells you how big the spider is. Their bite is mildly venomous, similar to a bee sting.

Weird Al Needs a Star
I agree with this Weird Al fanatic, he needs a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Kind of amazing that he was able to raise $15K in donations to pay for it.
