Wonder Wheel: Let's Love Google Again

Kept in: by Bryan A.



Translate →      

The Wonder Wheel finds new -to me- Japanese film makers. Dear, sweet discovery! I just rediscovered the aptly named Wonder Wheel by Google and thought this time to share it. Imagine it like 6-degrees of search terms and you’ll be close. It’s almost like a really drunk conversation where the Wonder Wheel might be heard to say, “I don’t know, connecting ‘glass vases to Admiral Chester Nimitz’ made sense in my head…”

Suck it Monkeys! I'm going corporate!

Kept in: by Bryan A.

In a hurry to be fed, beady eyes and big blue head.

I’m telling the truth Doc, you gotta believe me,
Why does everything I whip leave me?
My beautiful chocolate! Candy is dandy,
Fava beans and a nice Chianti…

It’s golden. It’s worth sharing. Imagine how well you have to know TV shows, movies and quotes to even come close to this?

Argleton: If you lived here...

Kept in: by Bryan A.



Translate →      

The elegant and always inviting Stanley Arms It’s not often such a cute story comes along resulting from modern day masters of world wide information dropping the ball, but here’s one that’s so quaint and inviting, you’d like to move to the city in question. Argleton. Home of Christ Church, The Cockbeck Tavern, The West Tower Country Hotel, and if traditional meals are your thing, how about a bite and a pint at The Stanley Arms?

Is GMail Reading My Messages?

Kept in: by Bryan A.



Translate →      

Is anyone out there finding the little one-line adverts at the top of GMail’s Inbox matching their email content a little too well? I’m writing content in my emails about Joomla! and CMS sites but not putting that information in the Title of the email – I’m now getting adverts for Drupal and support for CMS sites and adverts for other things I write about.

Is it just me?

Did You Know There Are One-Sided Magnets?

Kept in: by Bryan A.

In keeping with things geeks need to know, you should know that if you wanted a one-sided magnet, you would need FIVE regular magnets to accomplish the task. As a child, I was amazed to have found a magnet in the street that only stuck to metal on one side. It was a cylinder and all other sides had no magnetic effect.

Five magnets make a one-sided magnet.

Pink Floyd's Roger Waters Trippy Pig.

Kept in: by Bryan A.



Translate →      

Did you know that if you were inflatable and released from a Pink Floyd concert in Coachella, you’d only get about as far as La Quinta, or 16 miles? One famous inflatable pig discovered this as it broke its tethers and tripped out into the smaller-than-great unknown. Nature was less than kind. Google Maps shows that pigs fly mostly as the crow flies: In basically straight lines. The twenty-first century has been nothing short of amazing when it comes to quantifying long-standing mysteries…

Pink Floyd's tripping pig. Note the Dinarius Toolbar!
