Be My Baby - The Ronettes

Whoever uploaded the video set it to "private", sorry 'bout that if you came in via a search. It's easier for me to just leave a note and delete the embed code than it would be to go back into the archives and delete the post.

idiolect

 
idiolect id·i·o·lect [id-ee-uh-lekt] noun a person's individual speech pattern. Origin: 1945–50; idio- + -lect, as in dialect

Combine my Texas drawl with my occasional stutter and my idiolect can take a minute or more per syllable.

The Human Piano


After going to all that trouble, I would have hoped he would have put together something classical, like Für Elise or Moonlight Sonata or even gone the rock direction with "It's a Long Way to the Top" or "Smoke on the Water", but the theme to Super Mario Brothers?

Heaven on Earth

Your Heaven on Earth is a Sandy Beach

When you travel, you're not just looking to relax - you're looking to check out completely.

And nothing takes you away from your normal life more than a sandy beach, with the ocean crashing around you.

You love the feeling of the sun on your skin, and you're always up for a little bit of swimming or splashing.


Bonus points if you can stay at an all inclusive resort where your every whim and desire is catered to.

Consider a classic beach destination like Hawaii or the Greek islands for your next vacation. And of course, a luxury hotel.


Or if you want to mix things up a bit, pick a smaller island or a remote part of Asia. Then you'll get a beach to yourself! 



It really would be heavenly if that cute girl was on the beach with me.

Hacker Typer

Want to amaze your friends and/or freak out your enemies? (or vice versa?)

Keep Hacker Typer bookmarked on your computer and when you want to amaze/freak out someone, just open it up and tell them something like "I'm going to hack into the Pentagon." and start flailing away at the keyboard like a drunken monkey.  It doesn't matter what you type, just do it furiously with purpose (maybe bite your lip in an absent-minded way to mimic concentration) and the screen will look like this:



Wanna REALLY freak 'em out?  Tell them you've discovered a back door to Facebook and you're going to change their profile to read something creepy like "I'm a BIG fan of Charles Manson" or that they love Justin Bieber...unless they're really a fan of him, then what's really creepy is that they are a friend of yours.

Cursor Invisible

How good is your hand-eye coordination?  How about when your eye can't see what the hand is doing?

Try this fun game Cursor Invisible.  Click the start button, then start clicking the circles.  After a few seconds, your cursor will go invisible and you have to keep trying to accurately click on the circles.  The game continues as long as you successfully click on a circle but ends when you miss.



I just played a half-dozen times and my last (and best) score was 43.

When Second Was Best

Did you know The Beatles lost out to Brian Poole and The Tremeloes when the two groups auditioned in 1962 for a contract at the London studios of Decca Records? Reportedly, Decca's decision was based upon location; The Tremeloes were from the London area, making them more accessible than the Liverpool-based Beatles.
