Don’t forget to buy some Limited Edition BATMOBAMA and ROBIDEN Giclee Prints.

Being a vegetarian and the parent of a small child I am both slightly horrified and overwhelmed by the cuteness of this video:

From Today’s Big Thing:

Remember, when you were a kid, that magical day when your dad brought home a box of live lobsters? You really wanted to touch them, but you were afraid of them. You acted really adorable about the whole thing. Remember that? No? Imagine it happened, then relive those wonderful memories through this kid.

Here’s photos and a little video from the Obama rally today at Ault Park a few blocks from our house.

Well… I was without internet at home for nearly a week. I’m deeply sad that I missed out on six days of things like this:

This video was an entry for a contest on one of my favorite blogs Cute Overload.

My friend Neima forwarded me this adorable clip of a 23 month old named Lily who is a real pro with geography. Enjoy.

The other night I was watching television and I saw this amazing, pro-high fructose corn syrup commercial. It was paid for by the Corn Refiners Association. The messaging of the commercial is fantastic. Basically they say “You are too stupid to quickly explain what’s wrong with eating tons of corn syrup, so you should just knock back a giant glass of nasty purple bug juice and shut up”. While the whole commercial is terrible on so many levels, I am really encouraged that there is such an increased awareness of healthy diets and processed foods that they even felt the need to run the ad.

…and here’s another one:

I’ve probably been off the syrup for about six years and the other day I accidentally picked up a jar of jam with the stuff in it. After you haven’t had it in a long time the unnatural flavor cuts through you palette like a knife.

So if you find yourself in a situation like those portrayed in the ads where a close friend pressures you to quickly explain your views on high fructose corn syrup, you should just cite some passages from Michael Pollan’s Omnivore’s Dilemma or you can just say that it makes you fat and is part of a government mind control conspiracy.

There really isn’t much I can say that will enhance this video that I saw in a BoingBoing post today.

Enjoy.

I was starting to bum out because Gary Gygax passed away but then I saw a post with this video from Matt Jordan at You Ain’t No Picasso and my spirits were considerably elevated. The two songs are Johnny Cash’s “Get Rhythm” and Cypress Hill’s “Insane in the Membrane.”

A lot of people have sent us nice emails wishing us luck in our move back to Cincinnati but Scott Parker took the cake when he reworked the WKRP theme to fit my particular situation. Awesomeness.

Hey there, if you’ve ever wondered,

Wondered whatever became of me,
I’m living on the web in Cincinnati,
Cincinnati, Web 2.0 for me.

Got kind of tired packing and unpacking,
Town to town, then SF for a while,
Maybe it was all the tie dye out in Berkeley,
Now please don’t forget to FTP that file…

I’m at Web Two Zero P in Cincinnati..

For those of you who are under 30 (or from outside North America) here’s a large group rendition of the song led by Booty Collins to help you learn the tune.
