If you thought you were a guitar hero...

Then you're going to love Handbell Hero! I tried it a few times and was more than embarrassed, I hope you have better bell ringing expertise than I do.

Sleeve facing

Sleeve facing is when you take a sleeve of an album and put over your face, some of these are good, and some just didn't try at all. I'd like to see some of yours so please email them to me @ dcloven@thewebunwired.com and I'll make a cool collage of them or something, bonus points if it looks real or seamless.
PEACE
Doug

Try to make all the lights turn on, fun game to waste time if you get bored.

Wrapping ideas

found this cool site with new and creative ways to wrap gifts this Christmas season. I think I'm going to rewrap all my gifts just so I can look cool and creative, and so people realize that even though I have no money to spend on a gift I did put a lot of thought into how to make it look like I did.

nice 12 days of Christmasish song

This is the University of Indiana's accapela group...even if you don't like this sort of thing it is cool, and impressive.

cleaning up the desktop

I'm cleaning my computer folders and things and looking at old pictures, so I figured we should throw a couple up of Jaxon looking like a tub.

It's always fun to put pictures of your family making stupid faces on the Internet. Jen isn't making a stupid face, but she's in the picture with my brother and that's embarrassing enough with the face he's wearing. This attack wasn't in anyway provoked which makes it more fun.

Amazing real life super power

more hulu fun

I can't resist putting great clips from the office up each and every time I think of it.

people with real life super powers

This dude is a highly functioning autistic savant he sees numbers as shapes and colors, and can do insanely difficult math problems in his head. In this clip they ask him to divide something like 14 by 92 and he goes beyond what the calculator and computer can show, not because he is great at dividing, he just sees the answer. AMAZING! He also holds the record for memorizing 22,500 digits of pi without a single error. He knows nine languages and learned Icelandic just for this show in only ONE WEEK! Scientists believe that this is spawned from the epilepsy he suffered as a young child. Check it out for yourself.

cool quilts for gamer geeks

Ran across this cool site with some neat quilts inspired by old video games. Not the most amazing things, but I love how they use the pixel theme to make them look so accurately 8-bit.

I figured since I'm thinking about pluto I should revisit the cool shirt I saw a while back...and here it is! Great Christmas idea for your pluto-hugging friends.

When I was your age pluto was a planet

Found a cool article about the pluto demotion that has a lot of really neat facts about the decision and what experts think of the it. I was more than pleased with what I discovered and I bet you will be too.

Davy Crocket's 10x Grandson kills a bear!

Yeah Davy's great great great great great great great great great great grandson killed a bear at the age of FIVE! That's insane, if I had a gun a knife and a couple grenades the headline would read "overly armed father is slain by female baby bear". But anyway this kid did it. Check out the article:

A 5-year-old Arkansas County boy killed a black bear Sunday weighing more than
400 pounds.
Tre Merritt, a descendant of Davy Crockett, was hunting with his
grandfather Mike Merritt when a black bear happened upon their stand.
"His
10th great-grandfather was Davy Crockett," Mike Merritt said. "And Davy
supposedly killed him a bear when he was three. And Tre is five and really
killed a bear. I really doubt if Davy killed one when he was three."

There is a picture and a video if you follow the link.

Fun (and free) Christmas ideas, for mutually broke people

I was sitting and thinking of fun things I could get my friends for Christmas. Unfortuneatly the list wasn't getting very long because I don't have a lot of money to spread around. So I thought I'd make a little list of great Christmas ideas for friends and family that cost very little or nothing. Here is what I came up with:

A signed picture of Drew Carey from the price is right. All you have to do is follow the steps on their FAQ and they'll send it for free! When I first thought of this I was thinking Bob Barker which would probably be way cooler, but you can ask for both, maybe you'll get lucky!

Disney does a similar thing, you can send a written request for an autograph of one of your favorite Disney characters for one of your little friends. Just skim through the FAQ section and follow the instructions.

Billy Graham's website gives out a freebie each month, this month it is a neat book that any mom would love. Just fill out the form and agree to get some email. It is a great tradeoff.

Ford is giving away 10 free itunes downloads if you pass their difficult driving test. It is part of some campaign that only 15-18 year olds can redeem but I would say it is worth the 30 minutes it'll take you to beat the test. Who wouldn't want a digital album?!

If you like family type board games you should check out Cranium. If you order right now you'll get a discounted price on a game along with free shipping and a second game FOR FREE. I know this one is buy one get one, but I love their games, so it is worth it.

Walmart gives away free samples all the time just go to their sample page and pick something cool out, last time I saw a Dove shampoo and conditioner set that Liz would pay $9 for.

This is probably my favorite one. If you eat hotpockets save your upc codes! If you collect 10 of them, follow the instructions on this site and you can get a free hotpockets teeshirt! That is exciting! At least go look at the shirt, it'll make you smile. The downside is you have to eat hotpockets for this one, I think if you can convince them that you've had diarey in the last couple weeks they'll count it as one upc code, it's about the same thing as eating a hotpocket, just without the burnt roof of your mouth and stomach ache.

That's all I'll do for now, since I'm giving all my secrets away don't expect any of these showing up from me...sorry.

PEACE

HULU

You should all go to HULU and signup for the beta. HULU is NBC's new video website. It is all great definition NBC clips and shows. Hopefully I get in soon, then you can expect many more clips like this one from SNL.

Swerve has a cool little blog thing going and it's great. It's called 40 lessons from a 40 year old pastor. You should go check it out, I enjoyed it.

an easy way to kill creative ideas

Got this from Corey Mann thought it was cool and true.
We tried that before.

It costs too much.

That's not my job
Let's get back to reality, It costs too much,

We tried that before

They're too busy to do that.

We don't have the time.

Not enough help.

It's too radical a change.

The staff will never buy it.

It's against company policy.

We don't have the authority.

Let's get back to reality

That's not our problem.

I don't like the idea.

I'm not saying you're wrong but...

Now's not the right time.

It isn't in the budget.

Can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Let's give it more thought.

We'll be the laughingstock of the industry.

Not that again.

Where'd you dig that one up?

We did alright without it before.

It's never been tried.

Let's put that one on the back burner for now.

Let's form a committee.

It won't work in our place.

I don't see the connection.

Let's all sleep on it.

It can't be done.

It's too much trouble to change.

It won't pay for itself.

It's impossible.

I know a person who tried it and got fired.

We've always done it this way.

We'd lose money in the long run.

Don't rock the boat.

Has anyone else ever tried it?

Let's look into it further.

Quit dreaming.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

That's too much ivory tower.

It's too much work.

I'm Lost

One of my professors let me borrow season 1 of Lost...I really like it. It is fun and intense. I watched a good 20 episodes this weekend, probably should have put some of that time into homework, yeah. Oh well, it was a nice vacation weekend.
