coolest youtube trick – add a cue to the URL

Miriam — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:03:30 +0000

You can cue the video to where you want it by appending to the URL, like so http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7Dw60SVXQ4#t=0m45s

This is excellent, especially if one’s only interested in one bit, for instance, when we’re getting antsy to push something live. It doesn’t seem to work for their Flash embed:

…ah well. Now nobody gives two fucks for Bela.

I had way too much fun with yearbookyourself.com last night—far more entertaining than the convention speeches (don’t they know they’re the dudes in power? sheeesh.)

I would love to make one of these passive-agressive anger management vending machines. If I put it in the office, though, I’d also need to rig up a robot arm so Jim could use it remotely.

like ravelry for your garden

Miriam — Sun, 25 May 2008 19:16:27 +0000

I think it’s a little newer, and I’m hoping to see more Ravelry-esque features, but MyFolia.com is pretty danged neat way to keep track of your garden.

handy, and self-descriptive

So I finally got around to listening to that version of Running with the Devil with David Lee Roth’s vocal track isolated, and now Paul and Storm have a megamix AND the growls and grunts and woooos spun out into their very own tracks. My new ringtone? Awesome.

Piano-playing cats, hand-holding otters go on strike in support of the writers. Awesome also for Chocolate Rain in funereal chello and a scab cat.

#701, Monstrous Schlong Shelley

Miriam — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:36:30 +0000

I just got a spam from “Monstrous Schlong Shelley,” and for a second, I thought, “Wow, there were seven-hundred and one hobo names.”

This one is a descendant of Mary Shelley, and, ironically named–indeed, his schlong is monsterous–it is itty-bitty and malformed. It originally belonged to a squirrel.

Somebody asked for nun jokes on ask.me, and my comment lasted all of FIVE MINUTES:

Have you heard the one about the group of women who devote their lives to the service of others, work for one of the richest organizations in the world but face poverty in retirement, and are the subject of nothing but jokes in modern American culture? Wooh hoo! That’s a knee-slapper!

In a foolish attempt to make a quick fix to my CSS, I edited the live file in TextMate via Transmit. I’d forgotten that that feature had been flaking out on me recently, and, well… mah file done got et. There’s no backup (on this machine), and GoogleCache and the Wayback Machine have failed me, so things are going to look a little DEFAULT today.

Eek! Masher!

update! I found this old thing in the closet…
