– The US Army has released a list of new technologies that could be used to enable terrorism. Twitter, MySpace and Facebook make the cut.

– The recession’s not real! And neither is your loneliness.

– Here’s a fun little site. Click on a pair of shoes to see a luxe little ad — er, “dream” about it. The image at left is for the Vinyl Mary Jane-looking shoes. The Ultra Girl Night Sky one is probably my favourite though: jelly shoes, underwater. How novel.

– You know you hate the new Pepsi logo almost as much as you hate the douche-tacular smile/grin logic behind it. Why not make a new one? Show Pepsi what it could’ve had for far less money than it probably spent.

– Is that a mobile phone-holding thong, or are you just happy to see me?

Putting out for Barack Obama. Yikes.

– Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the mad man we call George Parker.

– It’s like trying drugs, except not.
