We’ve seen some pretty wacky and creative clocks in our day. We’ve seen clocks made strictly out of live-human body parts. We’ve seen clocks only solvable by mathematicians. But this clock strikes a chord with us geeks, utilizing one of the most prolific parts of the web browser, the scrollbar.
The coolest part is that you can actually move the scrollbar as the time ticks away.
I am shocked… SHOCKED about the recent revelation that Obama has not authored any of his 418 tweets posted to his Twitter account, @BarackObama. Doesn’t he have a free second between ruling the free world and meeting with world leaders to fill us in about… oh I don’t know… what he’s eating for lunch, maybe?
While in China, Obama was quoted as saying “I have never used Twitter but I’m an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access.” Right, right, net neutrality, blah blah. But you’ve NEVER USED TWITTER?! And I voted for this guy?
According to sources Google Wave will almost certainly have an application marketplace, where users will be able to purchase third-party applications for the new communication tool.
Google Senior Staff Engineer and Wave co-developer Lars Rasmussen has said that he would be very surprised if the applications model was not followed by Google. Google might be making the jump into the application marketplace model sooner than later.
“So we haven’t 100 per cent locked this in, but all the developers are asking [about paid-for apps],” said Rasmussen.
“…developers have asked us a lot for a market place where we’ll help them sell their extensions to our users including a revenue share so we’ll also make some money from it.
“I’ll be very surprised if we don’t go down that route.”
A study conducted by a UCLA research team concluded that searching the net can increase your brain function, further confirming that I’m a genius (or so says all of the internet IQ tests, that’s right, all of them baby.)
The study followed the brain activity of 24 adults aged 55 and 78 years old, half of which had little to no previous internet experience. The results clearly showed changed brain function which led to keener senses, higher intelligence and a huge pulsating penis.
Although it doesn’t do much good to type in your search query, click search and wind up with someone else’s search results, Mystery Google is actually pretty entertaining. Type in a search and press enter. You aren’t whizzed off to your own search results, but the results of the person who searched before you.
For example, I typed in a search of “gearfuse” and was brought to the search result page for “kittens.” Oddly enough, kittens would have been my second choice.
If the Last Supper was attended by our favorite animals from the best internet memes across the web, it would have probably looked something like this. Just with more poop. Who else but Keyboard Cat could take the place of the man himself?
And, wow, I’d be so star-struck if I happened to get a seat. But the tickets per plate must have been outrageously expensive. As far as I can tell, the only animals missing are the cheeky squirrel and the dreaming dog running into the wall. The dog probably wouldn’t have reacted so well to all the kitties anyway.
Just when you thought the internet couldn’t get any weirder. Check out their single-serving sister sites, and we are not making this up: HotChicksWithDogsWithBoners.com and HotChicksWithHotDogsInTheirMouths.com.
Back in the good ole days, crafty old women would test out their hot new stitches on what is known as a cross stitch sampler, basically a strip of cloth with a series of random stitches sewn across it. Most of the time these samplers are tacky and boring, branding cliched messages such as “Home Sweet Home.”
The Internet Cross Stitch Sampler teaches us that samplers don’t have to be the old fuddy duddy norm. You CAN mix the new with the old and come out with something totally awesome. I love every little detail.

We’re not sure how your neighborhood might react to you walking around with a dowsing rod, but if you’re so inclined, this WiFi-detecting Dowsing Rod will not only lead you to an active internet connection, but might even earn you a place in your local psychiatric ward.
Utilizing technology from centuries in the past, the dowsing rod is back, now with LED indicators! So much more convenient than electro-magnetic energy leading the way.
