So you’ve been making your halloween costume since July? You got nothing on these guys.

Sexxy Caskets for Everyone

This feels Halloweenie, A little death, slutty girls and it’s SUPER commercial. So in this scenario, you want to plan what happens to you after your die, but you just can’t decide what to be buried in, and you live in Italy — maybe this sexy coffin calendar will help with your decision. Cofanifunebri undertakers in Rome believe that sex sells everything, even coffins. Seriously. But does it drive up sales? Look to get a new calendar for Urns and Cryogenic Freezers in the near future…

Everything Ends


Death Cab for Cutie have a new song/video entitled “Meet Me on the Equinox” on the New Moon Soundtrack. Love it.

A Good Case for the Public Option

Cheese or Font?

Because it’s fun, because it isn’t easy, because you like cheese, because you use fonts, because my friend Andy showed me this, because you can see how well you do, because you’re up for a challenge.

The Great Pop vs. Soda Controversy

Soda? Pop? Coke? What do you call the fizzing beverage that flows at the drive throughs and restaurants? Well believe it or not a survey was done and determined, by county, what it is known as. This is a very interesting map to say the least. Being from Milwaukee it seems the whole eastern side of Wisconsin calls it “soda” while everyone in the western and northern part of our state all the way west through Minnesota and out to Seattle calls it “pop”. Even people in Chicago and Michigan call it “pop” and this extends eastward to the east coast where it is again called “soda”. Everyone down south just calls it “coke”. So check out this fun map and to find out what it is called in your region, although you already know, unless you’re in the Virginia area where the three terms seem to converge and you are probably really confused. Visit pop vs. soda controversy website.

Three Wolf Moon, the t-shirt that won’t die


Only once in a life time does something come along and embody the internet and life in general simultaneously. Well it seems to happen every 3-4 days lately, but here is a small song/video that extends the 15-minute fame of the horribly popular “Three Wolf Moon” t-shirt. A garment that got much popularity because of its tasteless and horrible design - which made it an ironic legend. This sweet little song outlines its mystical and magical powers to the one who wears it.

New Organic Products

Being lactose intolerant takes some getting used to, but I’ve been learning how to eat better because of it. While craving Ranch Dressing I wondered if anyone made a Non-Dairy Ranch and stumbled on Organicville. This company produces a myriad of products that really interest me and look good too. And Non-Dairy Ranch. I’m driving to Organicville tonight!
