I don’t know if it’s just me, or if this happens to everyone, and I just happen to find myself slightly more interesting than other people do, but I was moving some stuff around in the kitchen today, and noticed that the bottle of TUMS would look like SMUT if it was mirror imaged, and tried to take a picture of it, but it didn’t work out (too fuzzy, and hey, that’d be a “Z” wouldn’t it?), but then I noticed the can of coffee right behind the Smutty Tums, and flipped it over:
and started looking at it. But, like, really looking at it. In that Close Encounters of the Third Kind “This Means Something” kinda way.
First I thought “Splempe”, and ran that around in my head a bit. Nothing. My techie-sense was tingling though, and I took a photo of the coffee can and later cropped it to this:
Does it mean anything? Nope.
Does dyslexia have it’s self-discovery upside? Not as such.
Am I getting a little stir-crazy, and likely to start my next post with “So I was interviewing my cat about the new baby in the house and…”
Perhaps.

Ripley and I just watched it together, and I think he’s about ot fall asleep against my elbow here, unless I suddenly start typing really hard, and bouncing that little muscle you get from typing. Hope you’re all having a decent Saturday afternoon.

Linkwhores of the world: Unite!
Jessica Joslin makes things outta stuff.
Google Blog Search seems like a good idea. Of course, regular Google will still find lotsa blogs out there.
Beeping, screaming, mumbling dustbunnies.
Who’s little sticker photo is the most phone-cam-shot person in Japan? Find out.
I want this stupid watch.
Or maybe one of these little bliss bandits.
I can’t be the first on my block to get a Trendwhore Awareness Bracelet, but I might be the second!

You wanna see ’em? of course ya do
Go see what happens when you’ve got a nice fast camera, some energetic cats, and (probably) a bunch of cat toys laced with catnip (and helium). I can think of a few LJ friends who’ll dig this as much as I did (especially the “banking off the wall” shots).
Fun stuff.Go there to see it.

Flickr just keeps hitting my “wow” button, too.

Okay, so a while ago, I got one of these 
free MP3 player things, and since I think Arwen listened to it, uh, once, I’m bombing around on the net looking for weird things I can do with it.
…and end up stumbling across this little gem of mistranslation:
I mean, it’s BLUE backlit and everything, and 128MB, and doesn’t require any software to run it, unlike my little rubberized 
friend
that I listen to during my morning commute.
But c’mon… “new lover?”
Where were they even going with that?

Overheard in New York has a collection of things overheard on the streets and subways of New York.
Eg:
A guy and a girl are sitting on one side of the train, talking. Another girl is sitting across the train.
Girl #2: Stop confusing her.
Guy: We’re not confusing her, we’re making fun of you.
–R train
Good stuff, but not always safe for work. May also cause you to think people in New York (not necessarily New Yorkers) don’t know where they are. I guess they took the “If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere” line too far, and think that since they’ve made it to New York, they effectively arrived everywhere at once.
