Although not very detailed, this Shockwave Virtual Tour of The Simpsons’ House is pretty fun…

Try to guess the paint color from actual, but frustratingly ambiguous names like “Labrador Sands” and “Party Surprise” in The Paint Game. I only got 3 out of 10 right, supposedly “average…”

A lot of you are already Homestar Runner fans, but if you’re not, you’re missing out; go to the site now! Anyway, Wired News has a cool interview with the two creators of the site; I’m really glad to hear that they’re doing so well, as they must put a lot of work into that site. Finally, for your additional viewing pleasure, check out this list of the Top 20 Strongbad E-mails.

I think I need this T-Shirt, although it might threaten my radio play. Oh wait, I’m not the Dixie Chicks. Still, maybe I shouldn’t burn any bridges just in case…

ESPN’s Page 2 adds the Class of 2003 to its Bad Sports Hair Hall Of Shame, incorporating some reader-suggested additions. I’m glad that Jagr was mentioned but believe that he should have made the cut, as he had some of the worst hockey hair of all time…

Time for another Mozilla sermon! As if my previous posts weren’t enough already… Anyway, I read this article entitled “Friends don’t let friends use Outlook” that encourages people using the M$ Outlook e-mail application to switch to Mozilla Mail instead. The main issue in my opinion is one of security; Outlook is constantly the target of viruses and hacks, something M$ has never been able to keep up with and properly address. In addition, Mozilla Mail has some nice junk mail filters, all of the pop-up and ad blocking features that the Mozilla browser comes with, and it can handle multiple e-mail accounts, something that Outlook cannot. I know that many people don’t have a choice in the matter; I’m forced to deal with Outlook for my work e-mail. But for my personal e-mail at work and at home I refuse to use it. I’m in the midst of switching from Eudora, which is pretty good in its own right, to be fair, but it still lacks some of the features of Mozilla Mail. So what are you waiting for? Download Mozilla! If not, at least ditch Outlook for some other alternative; you’ll thank me in the long run…

I need want this. Now.

This hilarious ad may be for condoms, but it is SFW. (links directly to MPEG video)

I made a post to this effect a while ago, but this isn’t exactly an earth-shattering idea; the man is a moron. Finally, the online community has taken him to task after he recently went off on the Internet in one of his typically unsound, Morton Downey-like tirades. I think the title of the Washington Post article says it all: “O’Reilly’s Online Spanking.”

until I read this New York Post story about him. Apparently, now that he is referred to as “reigning King of Young Hollywood” and is going out with none other than Demi Moore, he’s gotten quite full of himself. The story reveals that he is:

likening himself and his buddies to Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack. Apparently the unholy incarnation has Kutcher’s new best friend P. Diddy as the Chairman of the Board – and Kutcher and his cronies even call Diddy “Frank.” The other night at Dolce in L.A., Kutcher and his “That ‘70s Show” co-stars Wilmer Valderama and Danny Masterson (Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin?) greeted Diddy with cries of “Frank! What’s up?”

I can’t begin to describe my disgust at this, and don’t even get me started about P. Diddy…

Update: And please please tell me that this story about him being the next Batman isn’t true…
