It’s back! Weekly Cool Links! And it only took 2 months for it to return. Sorry about that, I’m sure no one missed it, since no one comments on here anyway.
During the last couple weeks we’ve been doing a bunch of yard work, getting the yards in as good a shape as we can this year. Other than that, we haven’t really done much. So I guess I will just post the links…
Cool Music
I can’t remember if I shared this band yet on here, but Rock Sugar is an awesome band. The lead singer was the guy that did the voice of Wacko on Animaniacs.
Food Stuff
Four articles from Serious Eats that I thought were great to share. How to Salt Food, 6 Things Every Griller Needs, Top 10 Tips For Making Better Burgers, and Mastering the Art of Burger Blending. I’m very interested in getting a grinder for our KitchenAid Mixer and blending my own meat! If you are interested in finding a local fruit and veggie or even meat CSA you will want to check out both Local Harvest and Eat Wild. Too bad there aren’t really any close by meat CSAs in SoCal. I did recently discover that we have a local grass fed beef rancher 5 Bar Beef, we are going to try some of their ground beef tonight for burgers. If you want to know more about beef cuts, this poster is great.
Beer Stuff
Make had this cool weekend project for a portable homebrew cooler dispenser, that I might give a try when we have a party. Talking about beer, Floating Sheep has some maps about bars and areas where there are more bars than grocery stores.
Funny Stuff
When you are buying a home, the most overlooked requirement is Zombie Protection! Well OC Reader has you covered if you are looking for a home in Orange County.
Cool Sports
If you are looking to buy some tickets for a game or even a concert, Seat Geek has you covered in helping you find things for the best price available. They forecast if it’s a smart time to buy of if the price will be going down and suggest you to wait if you are buying the tickets on sites like StubHub, Tickets Now, or Ticket Network. Plus they will graph out the ticket locations for you.
Cool Sites
CNN Money’s 20 best Money Sites. Mensa’s 50 top websites. Groundspeak, the team behind Geocaching.org are slowly making their way into the geolocation game with Whibbit, looking forward to see how it compares to Foursquare and GoWalla.
More Cool Stuff
Probably should have been in the food section but I love that this site will locate Where is My Milk From. Science has discovered that as the use of porn goes up the amount of sex crimes goes down! Take that feminists! After you are done watching some porn, check out these awesome airports, I’m not sure if I want to land at any of those…
And last but not least, videos.
I think I will show this one during my Defensive Driving training classes I do.
Photoshop CS5 Content Aware Fill, it’s amazing what photoshop can do nowadays.
Sir Mix a Lot like But-terfingers
Awesome TV Theme duet
Someone needs to tell this cat to get a room! ;)
For those of you seeing this on Facebook, click here for the Youtube video of this curry loving cat.
Bruce Campbell is awesome, Bruce Campbell’s character Sam poking a bit of humor at CSI: Miami is epic. Check out this video from last nights’ Burn Notice (the best show on TV!)
Hey it’s that time again! The links of the world, link or rama, link a dink a ding dong. Yeah that wasn’t really funny. So the last couple weeks were pretty busy. On February 14th, my parents celebrates their 40th wedding anniversary, and impressive accomplishment in todays world. Both Kelly’s parents and mine, are great role models to have. Talking about Kelly and I, we celebrated Valentine’s day with dinner at Mr. Stox in Anaheim and then a night time trip to Disneyland. Dinner was really good, I had their blue crab cakes and Kelly had the filet of steak. This weekend we are going to our friend Sean and Amber’s for their daughters 1st birthday party, we haven’t seen them for awhile so that should be fun. So that’s the update, now on to the links! Oh wait one last thing, CONGRATS TO DREW BREES!
Food Stuff
For Super Bowl we had a small party with our parents coming over to watch the game with us, I wanted to try and cook buffalo wings, but wasn’t at all in the mood for frying them up, I found this awesome recipe two days before the game for cooking up crunchy buffalo like wings in the oven from Serious Eats, you owe it to yourself to cook them this way! I also found this cool site that reviews all the interesting snack foods out there called Taquitos.net, they have everything from national brands to regional favorites. Lastly if you are the type of person that is interested in trying your hand at brewing your own beer check out this quick blurb on Lifehacker about two free open source programs that will help you with your goal.
Music Stuff
I haven’t had much music stuff lately, but I had to share this awesome project that Michael Deal is working on that is a graphical exploration into the Beatles and the creation of their music. This is a project and any true Beatles fan will want to check out.
Sad Stuff
For those that don’t know the Mars rover Spirit is stuck and can no longer move, so they have pretty much pulled the plug on the project, xkcd has a sad comic to show us that rovers have feelings too.
Funny Stuff
If you are a friend of mine on Facebook you might have already seen this, but if not, check out this graphic on How to Suck at Facebook. I’m proud to say I don’t do any of those things listed, so I must not suck. If you saw the Google commercial during the Super Bowl (which was my favorite ad) you saw a clever use of their auto complete feature, the site Autocomplete Me turns the auto complete feature into a interesting look at what people search for on Google.
The Lego Millennium Falcon!
Cool Stuff
I just found this today but I wanted to pass it on, someone has taken the initiative to educate today’s men on what they need in their wardrobe, with Newbie Fashion Tips for Grown Men. It really is a good group of tips and suggestions on how to look your best. Wardrobe Oxygen takes it a step further, but I have to disagree with some their what to remove from your wardrobe section. I’ve been wanting to get some Lego sets recently to put together for fun and I was checking out the online Lego store, they have a $499 Star Wars Millennium Falcon, a little more than I want to spend (it is 5000+ pieces though)… I’ve seen a couple places recently selling recycled bottles that have had their tops cut off so you can use them as glasses, here is someone that decided they could just make them instead. Check out this great article on the 19 Most Complex and Dangerous road in the world, I’ve seen some of these on Top Gear, the Road of Death in Bolivia looks like a bitch. If you know me you know that Kelly and I met online, so I find the research that OkCupid is doing on their dating site is extraordinary, they recently wrote an article about profile pictures, and I highly suggest anyone that is doing any sort of online dating read their articles, they will help you make a better personal ad. Example, Men: don’t make eye contact and don’t smile, Women: make eye contact and a flirty face. And the last of the cool stuff, this blog post regarding the changes to the Crayola color spectrum throughout the years.
Not Cool Sports Stuff
The Chicago Cubs have thought up an complete asshole plan, they are going to charge a 20% premium on those that purchase tickets the 1st week they are on sale, and then after that they will be the normal face value. Talk about scalping your customers. I hope we don’t see this become a trend. (edit, this is nothing new they have been doing it for 8 years.)
Cool Videos
Some geeks have figured out an awesome use for Microsoft’s surface, Dungeons and Dragons!
D&D on the Microsoft Surface from CrunchGear on Vimeo.
Hot Tub Time Machine will be the movie event of the year!
Someone has edited all the violence from the 2010 Super Bowl commercials into one epic Youtube video.
And last but not least does this sound familiar?
