Linkurday!


It's that time again-- here's a few things to keep you entertained while you should clearly be doing something more important:

1. How To Nap
I'm terrible at naps-- I just can't fall asleep during the day. But I'm guessing most of you are better at it. Here's a few naptime tips and trivia. Are you a lark or an owl? For the record, I'm an owl.

2. Eliza Bot
Need someone to talk to? This program is a computer generated therapist. She's a little frustrating and not terribly helpful, but it's still kind of fascinating.

3. Garfield Minus Garfield
Jon Arbuckle is a lonely sad-sack of a man. This is exceedingly apparent when you remove his cartoon cat from the equation.

4. Guitar Hero World Tour Ad
Features Kobe Bryant, Alex Rodriguez, Tony Hawk and Michael Phelps geeking out playing fake music like we do, only more badass. If guys imagine girls-only sleepovers to be all lace nighties and pillow fights, then this is what I imagine guys-only sleepovers (do those exist?) to be like.

5. The Ball Pit Bar
It's kind of funny, sure, but more awesome than funny. Why does something like this not exist? Ball pits aren't just for kids; xkcd taught us that, and then inspired its creator to make a real live pit in his apartment. See also: last.fm's office ball pit. Thinking about giving your guest room the ball pit treatment? Here's a handy dandy calculator that can tell you what the damage will be (hint: a lot). Please invite me over once you're finished. We can wear lace nighties and have a pillow fight-- in the ball pit.

I found the "How To Nap" item very insightful (I'm an owl too), but the "Eliza Bot" was really entertaining. I had the most surreal exchange of my life; I'm so going to write a screenplay from it...

See, isn't Linkurday your new favorite day of the week? Eliza Bot pissed me off. She kept turning the conversation back around to me.
