Origami Boulder Company

Filed under: Art and Design, Fun/Funny, Time Wasters — amo @ 7:51 pm

YOU BUY NOW! Or better yet, read the site first. Jefferson and I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time.

Origami, is Japanese art of folding paper. Boulder is round rock. Origami Boulder is wadded up paper! You understand now, dumbo? Then hurry up and buy wadded paper! You see picture at top of site don’t you?

We especially recommend the “Letters from dumb dumbs.”

Open Source Chili

Filed under: Food and Drink, My Creations, Recipes — amo @ 4:02 pm

When Jefferson told me I should enter my chili in a contest, I explained that I didn’t use my own spices and couldn’t do that, so he suggested that I name it “Open Source Chili” and share it with you, at least. (more…)

The name of the author is the first to go followed obediently by the title, the plot, the heartbreaking conclusion . . . .

from “Forgetfulness” by Billy Collins.

If you’ve forgotten the title and the author, whatsthatbook.com can help you find your book anyway! (Thanks again to Mental Floss!)

A few of Great Aunt Gilda’s 15 minutes of fame.

Filed under: California, Family — amo @ 5:42 pm

She actually probably has a lot more minutes of fame than 15. Anyway, her latest press is here.

Update: I am so sorry, but after I successfully linked to this story all day, the web site I linked to now wants me to create a free account to see it again. If you’d rather not, you can try www.bugmenot.com to see if there’s a login there.

In case you’d rather not bother, the newspaper article is just about Aunt Gilda, who used to work at a locally owned pharmacy at the cosmetics counter, helping men pick out gifts for their wives for Valentine’s Day, because she knew what perfumes and such the wives liked.

McAfee SiteAdvisor

Filed under: Freeware — amo @ 10:53 pm

This free extension for Firefox (and Internet Explorer) is fabulous! From the site:

“SiteAdvisor’s automated testers continually patrol the Web to browse sites, download files, and sign-up on sites with e-mail addresses. Then, as you search, browse, download or register online, SiteAdvisor’s safety ratings change color based on our test results. SiteAdvisor helps you stay informed, in control and safe online.”

For someone (like me) who frequently searches for lyrics and other information that may be on suspect websites, this is a must have! Get it here.

Changes

I’m not completely happy with the look of the blog, so I’m going to be playing with the appearance for a while. It should settle into one “new look” in the next day or so, I would imagine.
