My favourite comic site on the net, Dilbert.com has been relaunched with not only a new look but lots of new features as well. One of which is the mashable Dilbert comic strips where users can write their own version a Dilbert comic strip and share it with anyone. But my favourite feature is the animated versions of tons of Dilbert comics which you can view here.
After being attacked by a tiger at the San Francisco zoo and surviving the vicious mauling, you would have thought the victim would have repented and graciously accepted his chance to lead a better life, as most people who have experienced a traumatic event would do.
But no …. Hours after filing a lawsuit against the city for the tiger attack, he and his brother go out and steal Nintendo Wii controllers from a local store.
He may be short, has long curly hair, goes round barefoot, wears shorts under his fire-retardant suit and likes to do the actions to Incey, Wincey Spider but can’t sing it, but when there’s a fake fire to put out, you can be sure he’ll be there - floppy, plastic hose and all.
Just make sure he has ample cookies and milk.
Otherwise he’ll be a cranky fiery toddler.
(Afternote: I’ve just realised that he was ok with the long-sleeves of the fireman costume. That’s quite unusual. He usually hates wearing long-sleeves, always asking us to roll them up. A sensory issue with long-sleeves.)
Something Ayeed still does sometimes, but not as cute as the way his sister does it. This was taking first thing in the morning before she had her bath. Well actually it was closer to 9am. It was the usual lazy Saturday at home. Don’t you just love the sour, milky way a baby smells in the morning?
I’ve seen more crap on the internet than I care to remember (Two Girls, One Cup, anyone?) but this picture is a good example of those times that I clicked on a link and went "WTF!!".
The "WTF" version of the picture is here (NSFW, obviously!). Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
The Remember Ring is one for the forgetful. When you purchase this US$760 (!!) ring, the jeweller will program your anniversary date into the ring and 24 hours before the day, the ring will heat up to 120-degrees Farenheit for about 10 seconds and continue to warm up every hour, on the hour, all day long!
I have no idea how he does it, but trust me, this picture is not photoshopped. Johan Lorbeer, a German performance artist, hangs in the air by a building above everybody’s heads. Amazing!
How many alert services can one subscribe to and install on one’s desktop? After the magnificent Twhirl, I’ve now discovered Alert Thingy which uses Adobe AIR, much like Twhirl to alert me of the latest activity on Friendfeed.
Version 1.2 of Alert Thingy features an added Twitter capability that allows you to receive and send messages from Twitter.
The only thing is with the amount of messages and alerts coming in from both Twhirl and Alert Thingy, the right side of my desktop is getting very crowded and it can be irritating when I’m doing something on that side of the screen and a message pops up. But I don’t want to miss anything, so I’ll just leave the pop-ups on.
Alert Thingy’s a little slow with the Twitter alerts though, as compared to the near instantaneous alerts on Twhirl, which has upped the ante by introducing Friendfeed alerts in its latest version (0.7.9)
I think I’m getting addicted to Twitterspy. You know how mesmerizing waterfalls can be? I could just spend hours watching a stream of water falling.
It’s the same thing with Twitterspy, which displays tweets from Twitter in real time using Ajax. Just like watching a waterfall, even though half the time I have no idea what’s being twittered with all kinds of languages in use.
It’s still a good way to waste my time in the office, though. Hehe! And a good way to discover new Twitterers to follow.
The Department of Sanity has deemed that the noise emanating from the play room/study, more specifically #1 Igloo Tent, has exceeded levels required to maintain the sanity of the King and Queen of the House, especially when the Princess of the House is fast asleep.
Therefore, it is with no regrets that the Department of Sanity hereby orders the dismantling of the tent for storage until further notice.
All toddler occupants of #1 Igloo Tent will be relocated to plush cushions where they can roll about without making a racket on the canvas walls of their previous abode.
