The Best MySpace I've Ever Seen

This is the Holy Grail of MySpaces.... I think it's quite possibly the best MySpace I've ever seen.

STOP MySpacing

Sorry, I'm a hater.

Cr@zy Peanut Butter - P.B. Loco

OK, when… how…. I want to know why I didn’t know about this before now!!

P.B. Loco — “The Adult Peanut Butter”

Yes, it’s true. They have hacked into one of our childhood favorites and made it worse for us than it might already be. P.B. Loco is a manufacturer and distributor of specialty gourmet peanut butters. In addition to that, they have several locations around the country called “Peanutbutterlicious Cafes”, where PB lovers can go and enjoy their yum-o creations in the form of horrible, horrible sandwiches, wraps, freezes, and more. Take this for example:

Peanut Butter with CoCo Banana
“Deep, rich chocolate and bananas from the heart of the untamed jungle fused with our premium peanut butter”
(image & quote from P.B. Loco Website)

On their website, they offer recipes and the ability to purchase their peanut butters, as well as some other helpful (awful) info including the Menu at their “restaurant” and a map of locations and such.

And all I have to ask is WHY? Loco = Cr@zy, maybe there’s a connection…

thanks to Boing Boing for the heads up.

And I want it.

THREADLESS: Nude No More

How about this is the coolest T-shirt site ever? They have tons of unique and original designs - all as the result of creativity from the average Joe. The catch here: they allow registered users to submit their own artwork to their gallery of designs, which is actually a huge contest to win $2000. Other users can "score" the designs, as well as order their own shirt - $15 for guys and $17 for girls - all sizes.

This unique idea is the result of the collaboration of "the two Threadless Jakes" - Jake Nickell and Jacob DeHart, after Jake Nickell won the NMUF London T-Shirt Competition. They are offering a bundle of prizes for the best designs each week, including $1500 cash, a $200 12 Club Membership, and $300 in gift certificates for "Threadless" to purchase some of your shirts.

We look at the top 300 designs every couple of weeks and pick out around 10 designs that we want to print based off of the designs score, comments, and the number of i'd buy it's. Ultimately the decision of which shirts get printed are left up to us. The scoring system helps give us a general idea of which designs our customers want.

They have Photoshop and Flash Templates available on their site to help guide you through the design process - then the sky's the limit! Submit your shirt design and promote it for 7 days to see if you can get into the top 300 and get the two Jakes' attention! You can submit as many designs as you like! They also have a gallery of photos of people wearing their shirts and a challenge section with mini-prizes and stuff called "Loves Threadless" to help keep you inspired for new shirt designs!

Here are a couple more of my faves, before I go:

Happy Shopping, Cr@zies!

Top 10 Church Websites

Yeah... after the Keith Richards post, I thought this was a refreshing little tidbit.

TutorialBlog has just posted a list of the Top 10 Church Websites - based on design and standards compliancy, of course. The editor noticed, coincidentally that it seemed that church and religious oriented websites tended to be extremely clean and compliant; conclusion is that these groups are trying so hard to promote their message that they are really getting their hands in the dirt - which is a GREAT thing!

I think the Internet is one of the most powerful tools available today - not only to religious groups and technology nuts - for getting your message across to a wide range of people in places we'd never have dreamed of reaching 20 years ago. I think this is especially awesome for churches and religious affiliations, that they are taking advantage of the rich possibilities the Internet has to offer them.

Check out the Top 10 Church Websites (Click Here!)

My faves are Revolution Church Kansas City, Soul Purpose, and Generation Church. What an AWESOME way to bring the youth and the tech culture into the fold! Keep doin' what you're doin' - it totally rocks to see the way churches have begun to evolve into an environment that appeals to today's families and all walks of life. And Kudos to the editor over at TutorialBlog for taking the time out to recognize this often overlooked niche of the 'Net! AMEN!

What Your Webmail Client Says About You

The folks over at DoubleViking have comprised a little chart telling you what the mail client you use says about you. Interesting.... I'm:

@gmail.com

You Are: Al Gore

Just like Al Gore does know, Gmail users know they are better than you. Their houses are carbon neutral. Their cars run on solar power and cat farts. And their e-mail client has over 2,600 MB of space (and growing!) And did we mention the automated message grouping, advanced search strings, and integrated chat function? What? You’re still not using Gmail? Jesus. You might as well just light a baby polar bear on fire and laugh as the smoke from its burning corpse cuts away yet another swath of the ozone layer, you uncaring bastard.

Find out what you are, or what to avoid at their website:

Cr@zy Bodies

My friend Liz over at SB.com turned me onto this fascination...

Body Worlds

This is a study of human anatomy that is being conducted and its results displayed to the public by a German anatomist, Gunther von Hagens. He is also the creator of the "plastination" technology used on these specimens, which is the implementation of reactive polymers to preserve living tissue. With plastination, von Hagens has been able to "freeze frame" moments in time with an eerie reality - statues of people with their skins removed, exposing muscle tissues and vital organs - with all the benefits of hands-on health education.



Which is exactly what Dr. von Hagens hopes to accomplish with his seemingly morbid displays. He has spent many years modeling and forming actual human skeletons and tissues to provide real-life models of these things which most people would never get to observe otherwise in the first-person. Not to worry, though, everyone at his parties is legit - all of his display specimens have been consensually donated by their former owners prior to their death. Not to say that Dr. von Hagens has not used the corpses of inmates and other derelicts in his laboratory practices; only that his public work reflects those who gave their bodies to science after death to further be able to fully serve society.

You can see a teen performing a skateboard trick, a man carrying his own skin, a pregnant woman with 8-month fetus, people in various sporting positions (like soccer, basketball, archer, etc.) and even a few artful reflections in the man on horseback, winged man, the chess player, or the prayer with his heart in his hands. In conjunction with the statues, there are also many other glass-cased displays containing smaller focuses.

There are currently three travelling collections of Body Worlds touring the U.S. More information is available on the Body Worlds website - www.bodyworlds.com

Cr@zy Clothes - Switched Clothing

Being the clothes-horse that I am, (my clothes take up 2 closets in our house - a walk in and a regular), I regularly surf the Internet for deals on clothes. I also like clothes I can't just go anywhere and buy; I like my style to be unique to me and expressive of my tastes and personality.

Tonight, I found Switched Clothing's website through an ad that was displayed on another site, advertising tees starting at $8. That’s pretty cheap for a cute T-shirt, so I took a gander. Have a look for yourself:

Switched Clothing (dot) com

All of the shirts I clicked on were actually $18 / each, but that could have been my misread (or an expired ad.) Still cute though! About the same price as I would end up paying at a high-end trendy store at the mall. I really like the “Topsy Turvy” shirt. They also offer a line of unique handbags made from recycled materials, and there is a promise of Underwear for the future. Underwear? Another of those things I just can’t get enough of, as long as they’re cute and COMFY!!! (The sight of a thong makes my buttcrack start to chap!)

And if that isn’t enough for you, how about some incentive to shop with them? They offer a reward points system to use toward merchandise and future drawings and giveaways. You can get a free T-shirt when you accumulate 10,000 points. If you sign up for an account with them, you automatically get 1,000 points, and if you make a purchase or refer a friend, you get 1,000 points too. Let me restate that: each item you purchase gets you 1,000 points. So it’s basically like Buy-9–Get-1–Free, or if you have 9 friends that like cool clothes too, you can refer them and get a shirt just for spreading the word around. Pretty cool, huh?

So what are you waiting for? GO GET SWITCHED!

Cr@zy Painted Cats

Isn't that cool looking?

Now, before you go getting all mad and yelling about animal rights or trying to search this up for yourself, know this: IT IS NOT REAL. Some people may have received an email forward showing these same pictures. The one I received stated that "in the book these came from, it said these paint jobs cost up to $15,000 and have to be re-done every 3 months as the cat's fur grows out." Not so. This is a very good hoax, and also some very talented Photoshop artistry. The images came from a book called "Why Paint Cats: The Ethics of Feline Aesthetics" by Burton Silver. The book was a follow up to Silver's 1994 edition, "Why Cats Paint: A Theory of Feline Aesthetics". Both books feature false stories and interviews with cats and their owners, paired with large graphically edited images of cats immersed in art. It is notably intriguing, just make sure not to let yourself get wrapped up in thinking it's real!

Some more "cat art":

I LOVE THIS!
MY FAVORITE! How bad-@$$ does that look, LOL?

Just another amazing example of the wonders of Photoshop :)

RaWK Out to Your Fave Tunes

Another coolio site for all the music cr@zies out there!

FineTune

This is pretty slick. You get to make playlists of whatever songs you want (well, those they have in their database, which is pretty extensive). Lots of playlists. Then you can listen to them wherever you want: on their site, on a blog, or myDisgrace [Space]. This is pretty nice if you want to listen to music while you're doing other things, and there's no hunt-and-peck through your collection to get together what you want. It's free, so why not? The only downfall is that you can only add 3 songs per artist to each playlist... so you can't do that all Bananarama playlist you were hoping for - but you could just go all out and make an "Annoying 80's Music" playlist instead. If you get stumped for what to fill in the rest of your playlist with (like above said playlist), Finetune will find and fill in songs that are similar to those you already picked. And, if you are just in the mood to listen to random whatever stuff, they also have some pretty cool preprogrammed stations as well.

You can see an example of the widget they provide for blogs at the bottom of my blog (and you can listen to my kick@$$ playlist too, while you're down there LOL!). It is very simple to install (almost no effort!) and is available right on their site. FAN-TASTIC!

Carry on!
