WatchActually, this “New Car Horns” extension of the “New Ring Tones” commercial made me laugh too.
Beep beep.

WatchSNL has really tanked since Seth Myers became the head writer and I typically don’t find Samberg’s Digital Short’s all that funny, but this one made me laugh a lot.
I’m not sure why.
Finally, I can ride the bus →
I found out something really cool as I started my new job at AMC on Friday:
I can ride the bus. Conveniently.
This is a huge win for me. As someone who drives almost 30 miles each way from South…

Nelly Furtado and Bryan Adams are lip synching anyway.
Did you notice that Bryan Adams completely missed his cue at the beginning of the song?

I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.
You can visit the TED Prize site to see how to help, or you can join with First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move organization.

I’ve had this thing to share with you that I haven’t been able to share and it’s been killing me.

Brand spanking new Toy Story 3 trailer. If this didn’t just shoot up your most anticipated list you clearly have no soul. Up until now I had forgotten how much fun these characters are. Pixar’s next sure bet lands itself in theaters June 18th.
Toy. Story. 3. YES.

Words that Zing →
A List Apart is one of the best (if not the best) resources on the web for people who make websites™. The content they put out on a monthly basis is head-and-shoulders above what most other sites can even hope for. This month, in her article, Words that Zing, Colleen Lang explores the importance of professional web writing:
To select the right words, take cues from rhetoric and psychology. I do...

The apps just aren’t there.
The rumor is that Palm is working on a way to very easily port iPhone apps directly to the webOS format. Allegedly they announced it at CES, but I can’t seem to find it.

Free advice from @Zeldman: Show up EARLY →
Mr. Z points out something that I think might help make the world go ‘round more effectively:
Don’t be so quick to excuse yourself. If 80% of success is just showing up, 90% is showing up early.
I’ve been late a time or two in my life and I’ve never thought too much of it. It’s usually not that big of a deal. But to think that it doesn’t reflect poorly on you,...

WatchThis wedding video absolutely just blew my mindhole. Shot with a Canon 7D still camera. WOW.
This blows me away for several reasons:
The video quality is absolutely phenomenal. Like Cameron said in his tweet, much can be attributed to the lenses, but STILL…
The scenery is just gorgeous.
The video itself moved me. It made me think about my wife and how much I love her.
I want a wedding...

The pronoun shift
bobulate:
“Is that a new size?” I asked. “They don’t advertise them,” he said, referring to the oddly small cups. “They’re secret. ‘Short’.” The “they” was a dead giveaway. This barista was not on the side of Starbucks.
There is this shift that happens when you work with a client, start a new job, even when you’re in a relationship. It’s both significant and invisible. It’s the moment when you...

E! Online's Kristin Rehashes last night's LOST →
Not too many spoilers for future episodes and here is my favorite part:
Terry O’Quinn = The Man in Black = The Smoke Monster! How jaw-droppingly insane was that scene where TOQ morphed into the smoke monster and back? Just so we’re all on the same page:
The Man in Black is the dude we saw with Jacob the good guy (God?) on the beach, and he is presumably pure evil (the Devil?).
He...

I’m not a flashy guy. I wear the same Diesel watch that I’ve worn for at least five years, earrings and my wedding ring. At one time, I tried wearing more rings, but stopped for whatever reason.
I’ll admit, I’d consider wearing this.

It’s always great to find nuggets like this tucked in my Google Reader “shared posts” section.
The best part is what Andrea said after. “I’m glad he didn’t say, ‘I’m homeless – what am I supposed to do with this?’” Because that told me she knew that was a possibility. That told me she knew books or five dollars or I’ll pray for you’s aren’t what saves people. God saves...

popculturebrain:
F bombs be flyin.
The thing about this that’s utterly ridiculous is that you know the Grammy organizers have heard the song and they know they’ll be bleeping out half of it. A half-bleeped song to a broadcast audience is just lame.
