Jake of the Web Time Wasters And Then Some

Premakes!

Instead of taking an old story and remaking it with new actors, this guy has decided to take old actors - using old movie footage - and tell a (relatively) new story. Forrest Gump, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Ghost Busters have been done so far. I'd have to say my favorite is Raiders of the Lost Ark, starring Charlton Heston as Indiana Jones.

Breathing Earth: Birth, Death and CO2

A running tally of CO2 emissions, Deaths and Births. It even keeps track of how many have taken place since you began watching. It's enough to make a person stop having kids and hold their breath.

RFID – Rube Goldberg machine activated and propelled by proximity.

A Rube Golberg machine that is moved along without any two parts of the machine ever touching one another (OK, just once). Many proximity devices (think proximity badge access to a secure building), some cell phones, a small fan and a paper airplane, motion detectors, light sensors and magnets all play a role.

Demolition City!

Although there are lots of games to play on 'The Pinball Zone", in truth, I've only spent time playing one: DEMOLITION CITY! Given an I-beam structure and a set number of dynamite charges, you must demolish the building within a set time and with a limited height allowance for your rubble pile.

Place the dynamite charges.

Dotonate.
Watch it all (hopefully) come down. Not every detonation successfully collapses the structure.

Hot Chicks Picking Up Dog Sh*t: I can’t believe I’m Posting This Stupid Link

In what is quite possibly the dumbest website ever, these folks have spent the better part of two weeks so far posting pictures of women (all more or less good looking, but not 'hot', per se) either stooping to pick up, actually picking up, or carrying in a bag, the fecal matter left by canines. I can't believe they've made it this long.

This doesn't get a picture.

Joe Satriani’s Lawsuit Against Coldplay Is Dismissed

But that doesn't mean Coldplay "won". Many people watching the case feel that Satriani had a valid case and that Coldplay likely settled with Satriani out of court. This ruling, however, allows Coldplay to maintain they performed no wrongdoing.

My main concern is that, as the less well-known of the two artists, Satriani will face a backlash or an uprising against him, much like Metallica has since the days of Metallica vs. Napster (language in that link is NSFW). I still know people who will not buy a Metallica album to this day because of their "money grubbing" ways).

What is more likely to happen, however, is a lot of people who otherwise never would have heard of Satriani will find he is an amazing guitarist and a talented musician overall, hopefully increasing his popular exposure - since I have a feeling that existing Satriani fans will not turn against him in the light of this lawsuit.

An interesting element to this case is the specter of another possible lawsuit from Cat Stevens (now known as Yusuf Islam) for infringement by Coldplay on his song Foreigner Suite.

Elmo teaches kids to yell out inappropriate words.

Slide Dog!
An adorable video of yet another French Bulldog living in Japan.

Ball Droppings
A fun little audio/visual timewaster.

"Look At This F*cking Hipster"
Lots and lots of pictures of people working really really really hard to make themselves unattractive. I'm pretty sure Kanye West was involved with this horrific fashion development.

The UK Google Maps Alphabet. Letters formed in roads, buildings, and other things as seen from above.

Animals with Lightsabers:
Photoshopped images and sometimes manipulated video demonstrating animals long-time knowledge of the light saber. I am particularly fond of the light-saber-horned antelope.

Look At This F*cking Hipster!

Definitely a lots of NSFW language and potentially NSFW images, so be careful.

Lots and lots of pictures of people working really really really hard to make themselves unattractive, who also think they are cool. I'm pretty sure Kanye West was involved with this horrific fashion development.

Handlebar mustaches (and just mustaches in general)

Enough Babst Blue Ribbon to kill a person

Any chunky, unattractive pair of glasses (or just the frames will do) these people can get their hands on.

Steps shaved into a beard!

Skinny jeans and overall androgyny wherever possible.

Slide-Loving French Bulldog

A French Bulldog (possibly related to this previously-mentioned French Bulldog puppy) living in Japan loves to go down a bumpy playground slide on his side. I'm sure it's just like a massage for him. It's always fun to see cute animals.
