Worry vs. Donuts

Well…. we seem to be broken.

Methinks I’ll be fiddling with this a little later, but I assure you all we’ll be back to normal soon.

Hopefully “soon” is sooner than 3 weeks. :p

Ah, the internet. That bastion of videos, blogs, and cat memes that enriches our lives in whatever way we see fit… right?

Whether you love or despise the various subcultures that thrive online, I find that sometimes it’s best to just accept a funny piece of content – a photo, a video, a meme – as it is, without worrying about whether someone will judge you by what you find funny online. Besides, if you are friends with people who are into that sort of thing, you probably have a few skeletons in your nerd closet anyway, right?

With that sentiment in mind, here is my very unofficial list of the best content featured (mainly) in the “Senseless” category on this site, as well as other various tidbits from around the web that were missed. (Read the article)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand we’re back. Well, sorta.

I’ve been blo… er, writing on this page for about a year now. Do I like this format better than having a LiveXangaMSCorporateEndorsedWhatchamacallit? Absolutely. Sure, the lack of comments and people saying “I don’t like to click on a link to some other page” (depressing how lazy we can be sometimes, yes?) is frustrating, but hey - the public nature of this format has forced me to improve how content is presented here, and I think that’s a good thing.

Links. Oh yes, I know you like them. Unless you are one of the million people waiting for me to get back to you (LP, I’ll mail you soon, really!). Anyways:

Cats Yelling at Each Other - Normally I don’t post this sort of thing, but this video somehow helped me survive the end of the semester, so I have to give it the nod. Nothing erases one’s own woes like cats swearing!

It seems that when the average American sports fan needs a scapegoat, it’s the NBA. Frequent baseless complaints range from “Oh, they’re ruining the game of Basketball!” to “NBA players are all a bunch of violent, drug addicted bums!” While violent acts and drug addiction (the Mitchell Report, anyone?) don’t seem to wound the image of baseball, football and other sports, whenever it happens in the NBA, people love to complain about it. While I could aspire to define the underlying reasons for this image problem (hint: R word, rhymes with mace-ism), I shall instead offer an example of an NBA player with a fabulous weapon at his disposal: wit.

Too Much Rod Benson - Meet Rod Benson, a talented player who is currently working on his skills in the NBA’s Development League in the thrilling hamlet known as… Bismarck, North Dakota. Rod’s blog is not a rehash of over-cliched player lines like “we didn’t have enough intensity” or “we need to move the ball.” Rather, it’s a thoughtful, insightful, and usually hilarious look at the NBA and the life of a player trying to make his way up, peppered with humor related to the life of a player stuck in the middle of nowhere. In this installment, Rod includes a video of Bismarck’s most amazing dancer. Seriously, it’s awesome stuff. On that note, Rod certainly isn’t the only NBA player making a name for himself on the internet, because this is pretty damn funny as well.

Jisatsu no Kaizo Mario (thanks Josh) - Dubbed “Asshole Mario” by a bunch of YouTube dwellers (the actual title means “Suicide Re-creation Mario”), this is a hack of the classic SNES game Super Mario World that some Japanese fan designed to be almost impossible. Whether that is a good thing or not is a decision I leave up to you. Regardless, it’s fun to watch.
