Digital Streaming In An Analog World

Nevermind the photoshopoopage, but that’s some odd robotic whizardry there. Even little boybots need to drain the oil occasionally, just like the big bots do.

How To Blow Up A Goat

This guy knows how with his homemade Bleatophone.  I bet it sounds really b-a-a-a-a-a-d.

Church Seats Are Go

Some of you may have noticed an improvement in the Tacky Raccoon HQ rec room restrooms recently. Yep, that’s right, the old cracked wooden butt-pinchers have been replaced with Church Seats. We’re going green, and the best part is that Church Seats will stay stunning.

Saturday Matinee – McDonald’s Shadrach Zoom

Timelapse video of McDonald’s food deterioration. Amazing how fast it wastes away to nothing.

Now before we segue into something completely different, here’s a link to a kid who hacked into a news broadcast. First he sped up the feed, then he tossed in his own commentary. (Here, with subtitles. Tip o’ the Tarboosh to mjazz.)

The Larks‘ version of  “Shadrach” is pretty cool gospel. Don’t know what the song’s about? Click here.

The Deep River Boys‘ theatrical version of “Shadrach.”

Louis Armstrong‘s “Shadrach” took the gospel song to a higher level.

The Cadillacs‘ “Zoom,” although not gospel is great R&B stuff. Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here tomorrow.

Yep, CafePress is advertising with Bunk designs from here and here. Made my day!

Shredding Hot Links

[Important announcement: The wiener of the runoff competition is Planetross by almost a 2:1 margarine. Thanks to all of you for tolerating the behind the scenes flamewars between Planetross and Wheels.

Did you know that dogs were the first domesticated animals? I didn’t, and Archaeology Magazine examines the hows, whys, wheres and whens.

Revolver Maps is a cool widget, spotted at Plate O’ Fish. Unfortunately it doesn’t work on WorpDress for some reason, so we added a button at upper right above the blog counter instead.

Although the story is likely fabricated, this one from 2004 is still funny. On the other hand, This Diary is likely true.
