HELLMANN, LIKE THE MAYO

#9 - Header for my coworker’s site, SEOLOL. I told him I’m make one eons ago and totally kept putting it off … I’m so sorry Jason. Still kind of want to paint the lighthouse one, make it really stormy/over the top, haha.

Song for a #musicmonday. The New Pornographers - Sing Me Spanish Techno.

Warning: may induce nausea. I decided to bring my Flip on my ski trip. Holding a camera steady while snowboarding is a lot more difficult than it sounds.

A mashup of the top 25 Billboard hits of the year. This guy is super talented.

Maria Bamford’s One-Hour Homemade Christmas Special! on Vimeo

Friends. You owe it to yourself to watch Maria Bamford’s whole video at leisure and in one uninterrupted sitting.¹ Because, it’s a gift. She made it for us. For Christmas.

A very special, homemade Christmas gift that will, in future generations, sit alongside A Charlie Brown Christmas, Christmas Comes to Pac-Land, and your drunk aunt from Ohio who smells like formaldehyde and Starlight mints. All with equal awkward ease.

No words. Just. So good.

A very Merry Christmas to Maria, Bert, and Blossom. Thank you for the gift. Thank you very much.

Pretty much a native speaker in Pretend-Tiger. Ah-RAAHR-rahr-rahr-rrrraaahr. Rahr-rahr-rahr…Raaaaaaaaaahr.

Ready for Maximum Fun? Hey, know what? Maria Bamford will be at MaxFunCon in Lake Arrowhead, California from May 7-9 2009. Merlin will be there, too, performing with You Look Nice Today, alongside John Hodgman, Jonathan Coulton, Andrew WK, Marc Maron, and about a million other awesome people. Last year’s was amazing.
You should buy a ticket. We’ll hang.

From Yahoo! News:

Cities around the country that have installed energy-efficient traffic lights are discovering a hazardous downside: The bulbs don’t burn hot enough to melt snow and can become crusted over in a storm — a problem blamed for dozens of accidents and at least one death.

Wow. I’m excited. Best pitcher in baseball for up to 5 seasons at a discount. Doesn’t get any better than that.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the Necky is dumber than the Snuggie.

Don’t you hate it when you slam your scarf in the car door an accidentally hang yourself? Ever wanted to look like you’re wearing a neck brace just for the attention? Well then do we have the product for you…

In honor of Fanfarlo rocking it at IOTA, here’s them covering Neutral Milk Hotel’s “In An Aeroplane Over The Sea.”
