Absolutely hilarious and sadly true:

Your favorite trash celebrity, Kevin Federline has done it all. From text-messaging plans, to tacos… he’s got your gimmicky marketing covered. Who would have thought that this wash up would make it? In fact… he’s looking to be the better parent after Britney’s no-panties tour ending at Promises.

The wit-filled celebrity gossips at Best Week Ever said:

Search With Kevin Marketing Campaign allowing you to search for things on the Internet as you would using Google, but with K-Fed’s stupid face staring at you while doing so. Pretty awesome, right. We still think Gizoogle is a much better “white people who talk black” searching solution, but we’ll admit that it’s pretty funny when you do a “Kevin Federline, Douchebag” search (sadly, BWE.tv doesn’t show up on the first page of results).

Via Gizmodo!

I stumbled upon this awesome online project today called “BookCrossing.” The site is home to a large community project which organizes a sort of an extremely public library service. The site has more than three million books registered with a very strong and active community behind it.

The entire process runs like this:

The “3 Rs” of BookCrossing…

1. Read a good book (you already know how to do that)
2. Register it here (along with your journal comments), get a unique BCID (BookCrossing ID number), and label the book
3. Release it for someone else to read (give it to a friend, leave it on a park bench, donate it to charity, “forget” it in a coffee shop, etc.), and get notified by email each time someone comes here and records a journal entry for that book. And if you make Release Notes on the book, others can Go Hunting for it and try to find it!

The FAQ states that the idea for BookCrossing came from those funny online dollar bill tracking websites that you see on your money but never use. (However there are some awesome tracking sites out there like PhotoTag who releases disposable cameras and then instructs photographers to upload the photos online.) This seems like a great project for a free day (wish I had more of those!) so I’ll definitely check it out.

“Low-cost, home-built 3-D printer could launch a revolution, say Cornell engineers” says the Cornell Daily Chronicle online.

The Altair 8800, introduced in the early 1970s, was the first computer you could build at home from a kit. It was crude, didn’t do much, but many historians would say that it launched the desktop computer revolution.

Hod Lipson, a Cornell assistant professor, seems to think that a machine called “Fab@Home” might have the same impact. He believes that someday every home will have a “fabber” or small machine that creates objects directed by “downloadable” computer instructions. He suggests: “Instead of buying an iPod, you would download the plans over the Internet and the fabber would make one for you.”

Pretty nifty eh? Such machines do already exist in the commercial world. They’re used to create “rapid prototyping” – such as building models and sample machine parts. It’s basically a 3D Printer. “How does this work?” you say? Well, I’ll tell you:

A 3-D printer has a small nozzle that scans back and forth across a surface, depositing tiny droplets of quick-hardening plastic. After each scan, the nozzle moves up a notch and scans again until it has built up the complete object, layer by layer. With multiple nozzles or a means of swapping supply cartridges, the machine can create objects made of many different materials.

Many useful things can currently be “fabbed” including lego wheels and chocolate bars. Who knows what they’ll come up with next!

Cool right?

I saw this advertisement on a news site today while I was reading an article. Who thinks these kinds of ads up? And secondly – who would click on something like this? It’s a little strange, don’t you think?

As you may have noticed – I switched back the theme to my old “Save a yellow rose” theme. I wanted to help bring in the Spring season, but I’m just swamped at work and couldn’t get a new design done for myself. However, have no fear! I will hopefully be revising an old idea I had and launching that soon.

Flickr is hands down, the best photo sharing community and service on the internet. Not only do they have a excellent tools for quick uploading and fast organization, they offer access to an amazing tool too! YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN STAMPS.

Choose any photo, and the screen brings you to the awesome tool offered by Zazzle. Rotate and edit the photo any way you’d like, and BAM… you’ve got your cat on a stamp. Now those stamp collectors can start collecting stamps of you. Pretty cool eh?

Flickr accounts are super easy to set up, and if you run a WordPress blog there are tons of plugins out there for you too. Run over to BWD and we’d be happy to install one for you.

Anyways, that’s my novel news piece for the day. In other news:

• Britney Spears left rehab for rehab.
• Paris Hilton might be going to jail. (not).
• And the world’s swimsuit model population may suffer from a Hepatitis A outbreak from a skeezy chef.

Good news day eh?
