Six-Word Memoirs

Have you just been itching to get published? Well here is your chance. Use six words to write your memoirs. But only six.

Wal-Mart or High-Art?

In the world of academia, everything is a show. Here's a quiz to let you know if you can fool others into thinking that you know something. Take a moment to figure out if you can spot the pieces that are priceless art in comparasion to the pieces that are cheap Wal-Mart bargain buys.
I'll admit it, I failed.

A new look at marketing. Of course, this site is not in English, but it is still a really cool way to waste time. You can also actually buy the things from this site if you so desire.

Super Tuesday

In honor of Super Tuesday, I send you this: photos of polling places.

You can go here to peruse photos of various polling places around the nation. This site is "a nationwide experiment in citizen journalism" in which everyday people can send in pictures of their polling place. The site hopes to get a photo of every polling place in America. The New York Times is hosting the site, and seems to want to inspire us to keep "a visual record of how voting happens in America: where it occurs, what the process looks like, how people act, and, ultimately, how the voting experience can be designed to be easier, less confusing and more rewarding."

Happy Voting!

The King of Kong!

You can watch documentaries on South African villages, the making of microwave popcorn, and 30-minutes specials on "True Life: I Have Embarrassing Parents" (first aired 11/07/2002, according to Wikipedia). Because so many people out there just can't fathom what it is like to have parents who mortify you. But now you can see a different kind of documentary. In Seth Gordon's film The King of Kong: Fistful of Quarters, you'll be able to check out the life of gamers in all of its glory. From all accounts, it looks like the film really doesn't suck, and is actually a refreshing look at people who actually care about something other than money and sex. Shocking! I know. I don't game, but I'm probably going to check this movie out anyhow. You can check out the pretty awesome website here, and pre-order a DVD for yourself.

Along those lines, might I also recommend Word Wars, a film about competitive Scrabble players and their loves and losses. This film I have seen, and think that its pretty enjoyable. But everyone knows that I'm a nerd already.
