Da-doiiing. That’s my onomatopoeic attempt at making the sound Mario makes (in the original Super Mario Bros) when he picks up a coin.
If you’re more interested in accurate musical representations, I have a special treat for you. The sheet music.
Amy sent me this… It’s from tumblr somewhere.
Pretty cool real life Angry Birds design – available on Threadless.
You might remember the Engineer’s Guide to Cocktails… well, this is a nicer version.
More here (where you can buy it as a poster). Via FlowingData.
Gary found/posted this gem. 3eanuts. Peanuts cartoons with the third panel removed leaving the characters in some sort of existential crisis where the punchline has no joke. Reminiscent of Garfield minus Garfield, and incredibly brilliant.
Love it.

If I was going to get a tattoo it’d be something coffee related, or this, and it would be on my wrist. But I’m not allowed. My wife says no. And I respect her judgment.
The girl behind this tattoo is from Townsville – so Townsville friends should keep an eye out for her. She is now world famous because of Neatorama.
This is taking the whole Getting Things Done thing a little too far, I think. But it is practical.
You’ve always wondered just what magic Batman keeps in his belt right? I know I have.
Now you know, from what I can gather this comes from Dial b for blog but it was originally part of something called DC Who’s Who, which I think is a book, which makes this officialesque…
I love Dinosaur Comics. Do you? I don’t really care. You should. Sample:
Now you can fill in your own awesome T-Rex storylines with this ready made whiteboard.

I love this little design project from Mirscher’traxler and I’m wondering how hard it would be to copy at home…
The start of this project was a focus on light sources.
Instead of completely designing a newly shaped lamp, ‘Relumine’ plays on the fact that we all have to switch from old light bulbs to new energy saving light sources.Each ‘Relumine’ uses two, discarded lamps, which are disassembled, sanded, newly lacquered and adapted with newer technology, before they are connected by a glass tube which holds a fluorescent tube.
By introducing a different mean of light source to the old lamps, their look and feel changes completely. They become one new unit, each with its own character.
Together these two lamps need less energy than each one in its previous life.
Keeping Christmas wrapping paper lying around the house all year is a recipe for disaster come the July birthday season. Not everybody likes getting birthday presents wrapped in santa wrapping paper. Trust me. As a Christmas baby I know this to be true.
So get a batch of this all purpose stuff.
We spend so much time cultivating our image online. But everybody knows the truth. Which is why I prefer to look like the guy on the right (at least that’s how I hope you think I look, metaphorically speaking).
I am really a 6’3 tall, athletic polymath. So there. My profile doesn’t lie. Well, I am tall.
From Comical Concept.
Dear ____, from ____ templated jokes are one of those little internet memes you probably haven’t heard of and I don’t care about. Or you might have. I don’t know. There’s a tumblog somewhere. Most of them aren’t funny.
But these are kind of clever.
This is brilliant. It’s like a venus fly clock. It’s the creation of mad scientists Auger and Loizeau. Eight dead flies equals 12 days of clock power.
“This robot uses flypaper as it’s means of entrapment. This paper is placed on a roller mechanism. At the base of the roller a scraper removes any captured insects. These fall into the microbial fuel cell placed underneath. The electricity generated by the flies is used to power both a motor turning the rollers and a small LCD clock.”
I hate flies. But this is a step closer to robots taking over the world and feeding on humans. Just saying.
If you don’t believe me, here’s proof, these robots need blood…
