- Stuff White People Like, my new favorite blog. Not only funny, but so accurate that it made me feel kind of guilty. Made me want to stop liking some things that I like just so I couldn't be so accurately pinned down. But then it occurred to me that wanting to feel unique and un-pinned-down is another Thing that White People Like.
A sample from #67 Standing Still at Concerts:
. . .when white people go to concerts at smaller venues, what to do they do? They stand still! This is an important part of white concert going as it enables you to focus on the music, and it will prevent drawing excess attention to you. Remember, at a concert everyone is watching you just waiting for you to try to start dancing. Then they will make fun of you.
- I found out about Desktop Tower Defense about a year ago, and every couple of months I rediscover it and waste frightening amounts of time playing. Waves of enemies try to get from one side of your desk to another while you build a maze of upgradeable weapon towers to slow them down and stop them. Simple and fun and very, very addictive. Tip: Last upgrade pays for all.
- Sushi Go Round also keeps me amused, like the cocaine monkey pulling the cocaine lever over and over and over.
- Mushroom Life is relaxing, and will make you feel smart by doing very little.
- yugop.com has been around for a while, is very cool, and is hard to describe. "Yugo Nakamura is a creative director, designer and engineer exploring various forms of interactive system in digital and networked environment," says the About. The menu is in the lower lefthand corner, along with tiny instructions for each . . . thing. Be sure to check out the archives. Lots of cool stuff in there.

- Hikaru dorodango from the About page: "Hikaru dorodango are balls of mud, molded by hand into perfect spheres, dried, and polished to an unbelievable luster. The process is simple, but the result makes it seem like alchemy." A site about this pastime of Japanese children with a gallery and instructions for making your own.
I love Robot Chicken. I think I've sent this one, The Death of He-Man, to about everyone I know already, but here it is again:

Alright, just one more and then I'm out:

I have chunks of spam commenters in my stools.
Cool. I went to that "Stuff White's like" site.
It has confirmed my long held suspicions that I am, in fact, a brother.
