I simply can’t stop playing with Subservient Chicken. I get tired of it, but then I think, I wonder if they thought of…, and I have to try it out. Of course, they haven’t thought of everthing, but this chicken will do a surprising number of things you tell it to.

I’ve seen the The Adventures of Seinfeld & Superman, American Express viral, linked everywhere, but I only got around to checking it out today. I guess it’s funny. It’s certainly nice to see advertisers experimenting with longer-form, more entertaining pieces delivered over the web. I’m not sure why they made Superman seem so stereotypically gay.…

I can’t believe I watched this whole thing twice just so I could see what happens if I made the other choice. via

Citizen Kubrick is a fascinating look into Stanley Kubrick’s home. He was quite the hoarder, and Jon Ronson spends some time describing the meticulously archived and cataloged documents he found when invited to visit Kubrick’s home. More interesting than that description might sound. Via

That seems like something that could really remove barriers and bring people together. From what I can tell (and to be honest I didn’t spend a lot of time looking around), despite its promise,…

You know, it never even occurred to me to think of February 29th as a totally free day. Once you think of it that way, the conclusion is inescapable. Leap Year should be celebrated — with gusto (and pizza!). Thank god we have people like Matthew Baldwin to do the heavy thinking and introduce us…

It seems like you should be able to do something with the critters on display on the Digiquaria site. Maybe evolve them or tweak them, or make them fight. Near as I can tell, they’re just for looking though. You can move some of them around, but that’s about it. They are super pretty, so…
