Weekly Cool Links #16 – What, it’s been Almost a Month?!

Oh wow, it’s been nearly a month since I’ve had a “weekly” cool links!  Apologies to the three of you that actually check out my blog, I hope you didn’t get too sad due to the lack of updates…  Not much really going on here, it rained the last couple days, which was nice.  We hadn’t had rain since the spring, so it was nice to get some wet weather.  Of course they say is supposed to be back up to the high 80’s this weekend…  Not much else is new, so I’ll just get to the meat and potatoes of the post… The Weekly Cool Links!  You would think I’d have a lot of them, but there really hasn’t been that much that I consider cool lately…

Halloween Stuff
Halloween is coming up so Kelly and I are working on making our place a little spooky for the trick or treaters that were are expecting (our first Halloween with them).  So far we have lights up on our porch, and three pumpkins.  I’m exploring the use of dry ice in our flower bed to make it a bit foggy, and also looking at some other options for scariness.  Recently I found this section on Halloween Props over at Instructables.  I’m thinking of trying my luck on one of two of these.

Software Stuff
It’s here again, the top voted software from Lifehacker, this list is from their April to September voting.  Lots of good stuff there, and most of the software is free or has free versions to try before you throw down some money.

Cool Stuff
Ever needed to open a Master combo lock that you lost the combo to?  Well you can either do it by figuring out the combination (about a 5 minute process if you follow this guide) or you can use a cut up soda can… The choice is yours.

Funny Stuff
Bootysweat must be checked out personally to appreciate it, that’ the most I’ll say about that.  I highly suggest creating the video for a friend at the end.  For anyone that is a How I Met Your Mother fan, you’ll appreciate the website, It Was The Best Night Ever.  And lastly what Weekly Cool Links isn’t complete without some sexist vintage advertising?  For more great “vintage” ads check out Marcy Writes.

Cool Videos

Like always I have some videos to share.  First video is a link to an SNL parody video of the Disney Vault, really looking forward to checking out 101 Fellations!

So this is what my parents were up to in their teens!

Can’t wait for Lost to come back, but this can hold you over till then.

Lastly a list of Fan cuts of TV shows and movies like the Lost one above.
