Things You Never Knew People Paid For


This website sells novelty, collector, and just-bizarre items. Some would make for great gifts for that unusual someone, but most are just entertainingly odd.

Poke around, waste some time, and maybe even find something you can't live without.

Pulp Culture!

Olly Moss is a ridiculously talented designer and artist. Check out the movie posters he's designed on his own for iconic films. Give a long look to the Indiana Jones one to fully appreciate. It is now one of my dearest wishes to have this guy design a poster for a film of mine someday.

Click on "Design" on his home page to get to the posters.

In case you wanted to take over the world...

This website has 42 live webcams, 9 constantly updated weather graphics, and a map of the United States, just so you can keep an eye on it all.

Dr. Tran is the man!

The Dr. Tran animated shorts are fun little cartoons that star a reluctant Vietnamese boy as "Dr. Tran". The shorts are violent, not really PC, and very funny. The creator is also a very talented comic book artist.

Much love for The Hater


The Hater is a section of the A.V. Club website that blogs about pop culture goings-on with not-at-all-veiled hatred. Wonderful, delightful, entertaining hatred. Want to know what's happening in the pop culture world, but without the PR pitch? Read The Hater daily.

You'll never not know how to do something ever again



This handy website allows people to upload all sorts of very useful how-to videos. My current favorite is the one above: How to get rid of a hickey. Like I said. Useful.

(cue music) There's a place for us...

Heroine Content is an awesome blog/article-amassing website that focuses on "feminist and anti-racist thoughts on women kicking ass". Besides the noteworthy subject matter, it is a very well organized site that samples comments and articles in a very efficient way - they show a quote from a post so you can decide if you want to read the rest or not. Pretty darn organized for angry feminist liberals!
