It's... Random Thoughts

Another resident of Bothell, Garrett Fitzgerald, noticed my post about visiting the tent city. Did anyone else bother to read that post?

Another cool photoshopping contest. In this one, the entries mix fruits. Sounds more boring than it is. Check it out.

Lewis and Clark journals on-line. Quite a neat collection to browse. Via Metafilter.

A lovely song from Eric Idle, called the FCC Song. Mom, don't click. This isn't for you. Lots of f-word in this one. Says Idle: "Here’s a little song I wrote the other day while I was out duck hunting with a judge… It’s a new song, it’s dedicated to the FCC and if they broadcast it, it will cost a quarter of a million dollars."

Fred Sez (May 20th entry) has some interesting facts about the original costumes of the Fantastic Four, then Fred goes and draws them in those costumes! (again, May 20th entry). Fun stuff, folks. Don't miss it.

El Cazador goes away... I only liked it for Epting's artwork. They will have to search long and hard to find an artist that could replace him. I, personally, am no longer interested. I'll have to check with hubby-Eric, but it appears that we've lost a book from our pull list. Via Thought Balloons.

Ok, somebody tell me whatever happened to The Teen Titans Swingin' Elseworld Special? It was never officially cancelled, just "postponed", and has never shown up on Diamond's cancellation lists. Anyone know where this book stands in DC purgatory?

Suppose you were running for public office. And suppose your opponent sent someone to videotape you. Not just your speeches and press conferences, but your every move. The cameraman follows you everywhere, even into the bathroom. Would you consider this acceptable behavior? Apparently it's fine in the Illinois senate race, where Democratic candidate Barack Obama is being stalked by a paid employee of his opponent.

Neat brain trick. This one gives a little insight into how your brain perceives colors and motion. Via Metafilter.

A summary of The Great Blogads Survey is up. Interesting slice of the blogosphere. It would be even more interesting to see this applied to the blogosphere as a whole, instead of mostly political blogs (since they are the ones that promoted the survey).

The latest Jerry/Superman ad is up. "Do you know Green Lantern?" heh.

Update: Monitor Duty has spotted a Green Arrow Fan Film.
