The official announcement of Top Ten Sources buying Stylefeeder is now up at Tech Crunch and Reddit, among others. Vote now!

Since when did Guba become “a pioneer in the user-generated video content space?” Last I heard of them, GUBA stood for “Great Usenet Binaries Archive” and meant “porn.” Now we call it “user-generated video content”? I guess ’99 is back again, after all.

I’ve updated (for the first time in what seems like forever) my left-hand column. Those of you who read this page through aggregators may wish to visit the actual page, especially because there are now pictures, sort of: I have embedded my stylefeeder fashion thumbnails in the page. This feature will soon be available to the general public using Stylefeeder, so go sign up for an account and try it out.

In the spirit of the live-action Simpsons intro video, check out this live-action Katamari Damacy video, or this one, done in stop-motion clay animation.

AIM seems not to be working. If you need to get in touch with me try gmail chat, email or phone.

Oh, I love Katamari Damacy. I know I’m about four years late for the bandwagon, but… there are translated song lyrics. For Katamari.

Check it out! I funk it up!

Here I am, mere hours after being apoplectic about them, but I direct you to the Globe’s excellent galleries of rain and flood pictures, a new gallery every day it seems like.

This is what it looks like at my house, where at least the cats seem to know what to do with the weather.

Digg and other social news sites have a tendency to flock to news items with particular characteristics. So, when I saw Drunk Monkeys Mirror People, I thought I’d found the ultimate Digg story. Monkeys doing things like people. Monkeys drinking alcohol like people. It’s better than the proverbial Slashdot item about a movie where Natalie Portman uses quantum computing to send Linux to Mars.

But when I checked it only had a few votes on Digg. Maybe it will become incredibly cool in a few hours, and maybe I’m just wrong about monkeys and booze being the coolest things in the world.

Make references to Hustle and Flow. So when Brad Setzer wants to point out that South Korea is having trouble maintaining an independent monetary policy in the face of international pressure to prop up the dollar, he says “It is hard out there for a won.”

Brilliant.

The sun today was enough to make me want to go out and take pictures. However, I didn’t get around to doing that. Or much else, for that matter.

So instead, here is a picture I took the other day using Bookdwarf’s new MacBook Pro and the “PhotoBooth” application with the bulge effect:

It sort of reminds me of the movies Delicatessen and Spirited Away. Yeah, sure, it’s creepy-looking, but also quizzical.
