Silly Site o' the Day

First of all, happy 40th birthday, Laura! I may not blog as prolifically as I used to, but that doesn't mean I can't celebrate Pen-Elayne's crack techie, my "blog-daughter" and friend! Here's looking at you, kid! Oh, and speaking of old movies, here's one for your husband:



Speaking of computer things, Robin tells me Apple's market share is now worth more than the entire country of Greece, and pointed me to this Tumblr site listing other Things Apple Is Worth More Than. They're certainly worth more than our household income... like, for the rest of our lives!

Silly Site o' the Day

Hans Besserman is a better man than I am, and via email he tells me of today's Silly Site, Wolferl Mozart. Huzzah!

Silly Site o' the Day

Well, I'll be going dark for the rest of the day. Not for the same reason as many other sites, although I'm definitely in sympathy. No, just because hey, it's a workday and this will be it from me until tomorrow. Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world where SOPA and PIPA didn't even exist as concepts? And where modern films were given an old-fashioned twist? (Via Robin.) 'Twould be a wonderful thing.

Silly Site o' the Day

I've been getting out of work on time this week, but still too tired to cook. Of course, no matter how tired I am, I don't think I'll try this version of shepherd's pie, no matter how much Robin might want it:

Sometimes I just like me the in-jokes. Here, have some Internet Justice League (via The Mary Sue).

Silly Site o' the Day

So, say you've misplaced all your kitchen measuring tools. Don't worry, you can still do things by hand!



Via My Food Looks Funny. Now if only I could figure out that cubit stuff...

Silly Site o' the Day

Not being a fan of violent entertainment, I have very little interest in The Hunger Games. But I gotta say, I'd probably go see a parody of it. Here's a wonderful trailer for said imagined parody:



Via The Mary Sue, which I'm finally caught up in reading. The weekend looks pretty cold so my plans are to run a few mandatory errands and then coop myself up with comics and blog-reading...

Silly Site o' the Day

Another long day, and I'm very tired but if I sleep now I think I might wind up having one of those telekinesis dreams:



I swear, this reminds me of way too many dreams I've had. I'm always picking up everyday stuff by pointing at it or calling it to me by reaching out my hand. Via The Mary Sue.

Silly Site o' the Day

After the kind of day I've had, I could probably use a drink. Let's see...

Wil Wheaton. On second thought, I should probably stick to whine-- I mean, wine.

Silly Site o' the Day

Fine, I succumb to peer pressure. Pretty much everyone has run this video, so here I go:



From the people who brought you this:



...which I believe I did as a Silly Site awhile back.
