Jake of the Web Time Wasters And Then Some

The Entire Internet – Archived

This was mentioned in conversation of a previous 'Jake of the Web' segment, but nobody could remeber the name. It is an archive of the entire web, over time – look up your favorite sites to see (more or less) how they looked back in the day!

Recut Trailer: 10 Things I Hate About Commandments

A recut trailer for 'The Ten Commandments' that makes it look like a teen romantic comedy. Moses is the new kid in school who decides to stand up to Rameses, the big man on campus. Excellent use of music, voice over acting, and movie-trailer speak. Extra points for casting Samuel L. Jackson as 'Principal Firebush'.

WARNING: Principal Firebush uses a four-letter expletive that starts with the letter 'F'.

MUTO: Crazy animation across buildings and sidewalks

This is a strange stop-motion film following illustrations on walls. Although it is not 'tagger style', this film is the pinnacle of graffiti art. The animator would spray paint an object on a wall, film it, then cover up the previous object with white paint and create the next image in his animation. Very organic, which makes it all the more brilliant. It is very strange, showing humanoid creatures with 6 legs, or new creatures growing out of a spine on the ground.

Confused rabbits make for hours of fun

I have been looking for this for years, and only recently have I seen it around. It is a crazy rabbit who thinks your cursor is a carrot!

He will follow your cursor across the screen and watch it wherever it may be. If he gets close enough, he will grab onto your cursor and won't let go unless you shake the mouse vigorously. My words fail to adequately praise this little wabbit.

Mario is a baddass and a talented musician. The Ultimate ‘Auto Mario’

The coolest Mario level ever. Someone has modified the code from Super Mario World (SNES) and created an 11 minute 'Automatic Mario' level – all Mario does is enter the level, and he is bounced around the board like a perfect game of pinball, never needing a player to touch the controller, and never dying. 'Automatic Mario' has been done for a while, but this one goes one step further and utilizes the in-game sounds to mimic the background music the creator has chosen.

At the very least, you can appreciate how people in Japan have way too much time on their hands: it took this guy six months to create this.

Search for a particular product and find U.S. companies that produce those goods here in the U.S.

Clearly, 'Made in the U.S.A.' is a complicated claim, so the top results of any search go to companies that are U.S.-owned companies that manufacture all their goods in the U.S. and are then rated by the percentage of their materials are from the U.S.
