This sandwich looks pretty disgusting doesn’t it? Who in there right mind would eat a sandwich with blotches of green mold? Not me, for sure.
But alas, this is just a visual trick. I’m not sure how Sherwood Forlee did it, but I can only assume that a green marker was involved.
He seems to have commercial plans for this bag. He writes on his Anti-Theft Lunch Bag page:
If you’re interested in getting your hands dirty with these bags, please send an email to skforlee@gmail.com and I’ll let you know when they become available.
There is of course one problem with this solution ...

CERN flipped on the Large Hadron Collider today and we’re all still alive (yay!). Neatorama is helping everyone celebrate with their clever t-shirt idea. Their t-shirt says:
Hooray! No Black Holes! Go Science!
I Survived the Large Hadron Collider
You can buy the t-shirt at Neatorama’s Online Shop.

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. Michael Salamon is reporting on his worst fears being confirmed. He just received this email:
Hello,
I am from approximately two months in the future. On 10/22 at approx 2:34am CET a tachyon field failure in the main resonating ring of the LHC causes a “temporal blowback”. Shortly thereafter, ...

We’re starting a video podcast, but we’re not off to a good start. We don’t even have a proper RSS feed setup for it yet. I’m so ashamed, but not as ashamed as I am for posting this video.

By now, most people are familiar with Google Maps Street View feature. Street View shows you a 360 degree view of any address you enter. Google accomplishes this amazing task by using an army of specially outfitted vehicles that drive around and take pictures of every street in the city. The Street View feature has received tons of praise from Internet users, but cities like Nashville, TN are up in arms.
“These Google cars ride up and down our streets, sometimes 12 or 5 times back and forth. They’re making pot holes, causing wrecks and costing our city millions of dollars,” ...

From a user experience point of view, 404 pages are not something you want to see. If you reach one, it means the content is gone or has been moved. Also, the average Internet user has no idea what the “404″ actually means, even though that’s usually the message they see. For webmasters and search engine marketers, 404 pages can provide a valuable opportunity to market your website, instead of frustrating your visitors.
However you decide to make your 404 page, keep these principals in mind:

The Internet almost came to a halt tonight when I spotted a del.icio.us bookmark of the exact same bookmark feed I was reading. If I had infinite time on my hands, I could have clicked on that link over and over, and gone nowhere fast. Fortunately, I came to my senses and made a screenshot instead.

Admit it, you suck at sending link requests. When you send a link request, you say something like, “hey dude, check out this link, link exchanges are cool too, and if you want to be cool you should link to me.” You’re pathetic. We’re all pathetic. Which is why we could learn a thing or two from the uber PR people at Guerilla PR. Watch and learn from the masters

Collin Winter, an old Sitening employee and now Google engineer, alerted me to how excruciatingly cute they are in Googleville. Apparently, in a night of programming madness, they added the ability to include number of horns on a unicorn into any equation. Don’t believe me? See for yourself.

Imagine a world where buying and selling links actually added value to your site, where writing white text on a white background actually improved your SERPs and was a legitimate way of building a keyword rich site. Hundreds of pages with the same content is an awesome way to get more people to view your site! Whaddya know? Your message is multiplied — could it get any easier than that?

What’s the least likely place you would go to find something? Your old girlfriend’s apartment? A landfill? Utah? Actually, it’s not any of those. The least likely place you would go is obviously page 87 of Live Search. Which of course is why you should go there.
So let’s get right to it. I will choose a random keyword phrase, and by random, I mean the first thing that pops into my head. pink earmuffs. Oh wow, that’s embarrassing, but search I must.
Huh, I found a website called Feministing. So what’s this feministing all about?
