An epic journey into the pulsating heart of fear, this song is a call-to-arms featuring:

Survivor: Toyland is too funny. Just go look… 🙂

Aziz Ansari challenged his roommate Zach to see who could come up with the shittiest mixtape. Each contestant was to choose five songs. Their other roommate, Merlin, would act as judge. The loser would have to walk around the city, blasting all ten songs from a boombox. Aziz lost the contest.

College Humor links to the hilarious QuickTime video World’s Shittiest Mixtape. 🙂

I Was So Eighties lets you rate people’s photos of themselves from the ‘80s. Although I’m obviously a big fan of the ’80s, I don’t think I have any photos as incriminating as the ones on that site… 😉

Angry Alien returns with another fun video spoof, Highlander In 30 Seconds (with bunnies).

The always excellent Wikipedia has an entry on Made-up words from The Simpsons. Such thorough research embiggens us all… 😉

GorillaMask.net has collected a whole bunch of video clips of The Ambiguously Gay Duo cartoons from Saturday Night Live. Hilarious…

flickr memry is a very cool Flash game that uses a selected (or random) flickr tag to construct a game of “Memory.”

In case you hadn’t noticed, the NHL is back. It wouldn’t be surprising if you didn’t notice, as one of the few TV networks that used to carry games early in the season, ESPN, decided not to renew its contract. If you want to catch any games on TV, you’ll have to tune in to OLN (Outdoor Life Network), a station affiliated with the cable provider Comcast. Additionally, Comcast is apparently streaming selected NHL games over broadband Internet connections, but I haven’t tried that out for myself.

Although I am happy to be able to play Fantasy Hockey again, the beginning of the season seems very anticlimactic to me because of this lack of coverage. It remains to be seen whether the NHL will be able to mend its image after missing an entire season…

For those of you that are into hockey (Fantasy or otherwise), I think that CBS’ online hockey coverage is far better than that of the NHL and includes very cool interfaces to track games in progress, as well as many other features. Additionally, Kafenatid is now back online with real-time Fantasy score tracking and schedule breakdowns.
