Molecule of the Day Weblog
A weblog that gives you a molecule a day, or thereabout. Today’s molecule — Cyanuric Acid (the flip side of melamine). My ignorance of chemistry runs deep so this blog is helpful, and could prove practical. For example, you’re at a hip, bohemian shindig and folks are blathering on about the wonders of Absinthe which gives you the opportunity to educate the assembled fools on the fact that, no, Thujone has nothing to do with the drink’s neurological effects.

Yokai Monsters Trailer
Notable for the content, and for raising the observation that there’s a woeful number of films in the samurai/zombie/monster genre. I’m thinking a mainstream samurai-zombie movie would be a hit. Something along the lines of The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi meets Night of the Living Dead. Trailer noticed via Cinebeats.

A Gummi Bear Murder Scene
Noticed here. No doubt Gummi Bears are delightfully cute. In this sense, one could argue forcing the adorable confections to kill their own breaks accepted bounds of common deciency. I would not argue this. I think subjecting sweets to Gladitorial games is a grand idea, but one could argue — anything [...]

American Studies Tagline: a visual historiography of an evolving discipline
Drag a slider to visualize the frequency of words from canonical texts. Being a former student of American Studies this little toy gave me a geeky shiver of delight.

Google map of Dracula’s travels
I would not have guessed Bram Stoker is Irish by birth. Maybe the vampire myth’s roots lie in a nasty and widespread hops shortage? [via Scribbling Woman]

Why do men prefer women with large breasts?
Aside from the fact they’re big(ger), it could be gravity’s fault, from an evolutionary perspective.

Remix of Radiohead Using Redundant Hardware [video]
James Houston remixes Radiohead using outdated analogue machines - via Seed. How he did it is over my head. I’m appreciative of the fact he did it at all.

A Note to this Site’s Lovely RSS Consumers
Just a quick word to note I’m now tossing my bookmarks into the flow. While it’s a great service delicious has a few drawbacks, namely character limits and frowning upon any HTML funny business. By weaving my bookmarks into this site’s feed I get around these two pesky issues.
At this point [...]

Vintage Spanking Photos
I link to remind myself there’s a website for everything — not spanking photos — vintage spanking photos. Suppose this goes without saying, given the title above, but unless your workplace does not look unkindly at your occasional Internet forays into sites of debatable taste then it would probably be wise to wait until you get home and draw the curtains before loading this site. It’s not so bad in my mind, but I’m being thoughtful here, and my standards of propriety are frightfully low — relative commonly accepted norms.

A Collection of matchbox labels and match packs
A set on Flickr that makes using those plain, white match packs a crime against good taste. Beautiful stuff.

Computer Husbands
So an actual 1973 movie with the memorable tagline: Remember what those Suburban Wives got up to?… Now see what their getaway men get down to!
The reference to Suburban Wives above being the 1971 film by Derek Ford. Who, in addition to these two greats, was also responsible for The Wife Swappers and The [...]

The UFO Dance [video]
This works surprisingly well for the computer screen, keeping in mind it was originally intended to be consumed with three hits of acid at an outdoor movie theater. I’m not entirely sure where the following connection is coming from, the irony would be God herself, but the UFO Dance video reminded me of the Jesus is my Friend video - via absencito. On a sidenote, I think I used the word irony wrong again. Three flogs from an English Professor’s switch might be in order for my continual and flippant disregard for proper syntax. Oh dear, I think I just used the word syntax wrong as well. Bring out The Gimp.

Art of the Luggage Label
A Flickr collection. I would not protest if art departments started reaching back and stealing from their precursors. I find much of this far more beautiful than what I see today — as far as logo design and branding go.

Cheap watercolors set on Flickr
Created by Doc Pop using cheap Crayola watercolors from Target. The resulting art is anything but cheap. Great stuff. While you’re at it you might as well check out his Failephant — The GOP is currently down. Down in a literal sense, and down in the slangular sense, like, down with all manner of ill conceived ploys to fool themselves and you into thinking they have the wisdom and requisite vision to move this country forward.

Captain Ozone’s Official HomePage
Any super hero that travels around by sitting on a toilet - attached to a moving car - is obviously highly resourceful. I’m not sure Batman would have the balls to pull that one off.
