YouTube:-Pomplamoose's cover of Lady Gaga's Telephone is HOT.
How have I never heard of this pair before. Their music is good.

How Facebook Was Founded
Unsurprisingly, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg comes off as a total douchebag and creepy-ass creep. This is a pretty detailed look at early origins of Facebook. I need to see if Zuckerberg or Facebook have responded to any of the allegations in the story.

YouTube: PianoChatImprov.
This is great. This fellow Merton ad-libs on the piano while surfing around on Chat Roulette. Bonus: no dicks.

A Battle for the Future Is Getting Personal.
Google vs. Apple in a fight to the death. (As one of the commenters notes, the title is a bit misleading. It sounds like all the rage is coming from one man, and you can probably guess his name.)

Massive slumber party brings nostalgic fun to Blansdowne warehouse.
First, I love the BlogTO calls the hood Blansdowne. Second, giant hipster slumber party in Blansdowne? The area is definitely way different now.

Klang went Boom!
MetaFilter user klangklangston fell off his bike and broke some bones in LA. Now he has something like $50,000 in medical bills. What the fuck?
# - YouTube: Spookey Ruben - These days are old. This video is so bizarre, and used to get played a fair bit when I was a young boy. (Ahilan, remember this?) I didn’t know he was still making music. # [1]

City of Lakes Trailer.
These guys film weddings, and decided to make a feature film. And unless i’m misunderstanding, there is a real wedding taking place during the film. It’s kind of crazy what you can do with DSLRs now. The video quality is unbelievable.

I like their normal ads, with the half naked women, but this is still a good idea.

Minimal mindset in de Yummygum office.
This office is amazing. I wonder if they have a messy room which they actually work in.

Gideon's Strumpets?
Honestly, who gives a fuck what Liz Cheney thinks? American politics is stuck in the 17th century. I seriously have no idea why people aren’t shooting each other already: it’s not like they don’t have the guns.

Four Seconds.
I’ve seen this linked all over the place, I don’t know why I didn’t link it here. It’s really quite fascinating, all the things that are taking place in such a small chunk of time. When I watch a hockey game I don’t really notice much of anything, apparently.

Angry Robot redesigns.
I’m liking it, especially the logo. Of course, i’m a serious-ass socialist who likes robots.

They didn’t even charge him with anything. What the fuck, America?

Esthero has posted a new song up online.
It’s strange she hangs out with Chin Injeti from Base is Bass. Well, maybe that’s not that weird.

Budgets are dull and journalism is hard.
“I’m a little disappointed by the hissyfit thrown by certain journalists and pundits over the budget announcement that Miller made this morning. I don’t want to tell anybody how to do their job, but it looks like I’m about to try, because I think the way it was done this morning was a pretty telling reflection of the way certain people in the media have chosen to cover politics in general lately.”
