Search Me

Here is a search that gives you your results in a form that's very similar to coverflow. I'm not sure how much they index (the awesome links results were still in the old format) but it certainly is slick. You can also store your frequently visited sites in stacks for later viewing. Fairly neat.

Sore Thumbs

Another link from Billy who says "This is sort of a bad webcomic that spoofs bad webcomics. The comic covers politics, gaming, and other webcomics. Also, they update religiously thrice a week and have done so for years, so there's a huge back-catalogue I've maybe 50% browsed." I've browsed a few myself and like them pretty well so far. The main character is a very liberal gal who works in her extremely conservative brother's video game store. The art is manga-inspired. I'll definitely be reading through these. Thanks Billy.

Office Snapshots

Office Snapshots is a pretty cool site that has a backlog of hundreds of office spaces of different companies, big and small, from around the world. You can see what type of conditions people work in. I have to say, just from the quick run-down I've done, Pixar has the best office space *EVAR*! Some are what you expect and some are surprising.

Hair Hats

Here's another weird one. This is a site that features hats made out of hair. I think it's meant as fine art, since there isn't any explanation of what's really going on here, and no way to order. You just see all the girls chilling in their hair hats, and if you click on one, you get to see her up-close. Just a bit bizarre.

Lego Robot

Legorobot comics is a beautiful mish mash of twisted humor and MS paint drawings. While the drawings are meant to be crude. Its this crude style that allows the author to get away with some of the topics in a humorous way, which would otherwise come off as offensive, or obscene. Its probably best if you start off with the first comic. My personally favorite being "eye eat" #2.

Totally Awesome Video Of People Getting Punched In The Face

Pretty much what the title says. It's a really high speed camera that shows off just how elastic the face is when you punch it. Men, women, smokers, people drinking water and people getting rained on are all victims here. You just have to see it.

The Bugle

Here's a podcast presented by the UK paper The Times' website featuring John Oliver of the Daily Show and Andy Zaltzman of nothing I'm familiar with. It's just two fairly dry British guys making jokes about the news. Their recurring segments are also very good, with my favorites being "Ask and American" and "Hotties from History." Thanks to Mike for the link.

Dirty Car Art Gallery

Dirty Car Art Gallery is a cool site by Scott Wade, who does art pieces using caked-up dirt on cars. Some of the pieces are insanely good.

Nekro Portfolio

Here's an amazing design and illustration portfolio. There are only 8 paintings on it that I can see, but each one of them is amazing. They all give off a near-future cyberpunk feel that is very cool. I would love to see anything that these concepts were developed into. Thanks to Bryan for the link.

Musical Taste

Today's link is a submission from Billy, who writes, "If you're looking to put together a legendary mix-tape, this is a good place to go for recommendations and general info. It's mostly users writing up recommendations and reviews of specific tracks. Registration is both free and completely unnecessary. I like it that way." Thanks Billy
