GeoWhitePages is a cool mash-up of Google Maps and the White Pages. Enter someone’s name and a state, and voila, phone number(s) and address(es) are plotted on a Google Map. A bit scary, actually…

The Angry Alien crew does it again with Reservoir Dogs In 30 seconds (and re-enacted by bunnies).

inCulto has composed a very infectious song promoting tourism to Lithuania. I present you the earworm music video Welcome To Lithuania (YouTube video), viewable in the embedded player below:

There’s some fun stuff at Amy Vangsgard’s Clay Illustration site. Of course, W’s homage and caption caught my eye: “If I only had a brain.” Sorry, way too easy, but quite satisfying nonetheless… 😉

Over the weekend I saw a cool commercial for Tetris DS (YouTube video). Check it out in the embedded player below:

I’ve probably posted some of these before, but since I came across a couple of good links recently, I decided to post en masse. Here is a list of sites that have huge amounts of links to free games (as opposed to sites with original games, a topic that deserves its own post), some of which are playable online and some of which need to be downloaded and installed. I’ll add more links as I find them:

• gnome’s lair’s freshly hand-picked free games selection
• 1up.com’s 101 Free Games
• Jay Is Games’ Best Web Games of 2005
• A Complete Waste Of Time
• Addicting Games
• Games That Don’t Suck

Enjoy!

McSweeney’s Nihilist Job Résumé is hilarious…

3dblasphemy of Threedy Forums has done an amazing job of rendering Transformer Optimus Prime, taking great pains to ensure his realistic depiction as an eighteen-wheeler when transformed. I really hope that the video links come back online, as I’d love to see this animated…

When you’re finally ready to purchase and build your own version of Knight Rider’s KITT or KARR, Knight Replicas has a complete guide for you.

I am somewhat surprised to see that South Park won a Peabody Award. Peabody Awards Director Horace Newcomb commented that the show

pushes all the buttons, turns up the heat and shatters every taboo. Through that process of offending it reminds us of the need for being tolerant.

Amen. I’m glad to see that people see past the omnipresent juvenile potty humor (which is fun in its own right) to the real social commentary that South Park offers.
