Note: The below is an archived entry from Earthling, formerly EarthLink's official blog. The blog itself has been decommissioned and is no longer updated, and comments are trackbacks are no longer accepted.
First, an update on a previously reported heh: Remember young Ava's Love Is Embarassing book? Ava gave the book to her classmate Alexander, and this week her dad reports back on how the book was received. As Ava predicted, Alexander was duly inbarist.
- Ghosts Of Halloween Past - Ava's dad Ward also offered a great look back at his old halloween costumes.
- Use Your iPod As A Ouija Board - This looks like it works well, but the thing is, there's a popular band named "Yes" but none named "No". That could slant some of the answers. I guess a true ghost would still find a way to get a No across.
- The StickCam - Sure, we all know what it's like to chase a stick, but what's it's like to *be* a stick being chased by a Pug? [via John]
- Illustrated Seven Phases Of Owning An iPod - I've seen people utterly self-destruct around Phase 6. People always seem to forget that Apple does not actually disable the functionality of older iPods each time they come out with new ones. Word to the wise.
- Who Says Irony Is Dead - David Parmet found a CNN.com headline that kind of hurts my head.
- When Studio Effects Go Bad - I think the image was supposed to switch when this newscaster poked at the screen with his finger. This is the kind of thing I'd miss if YouTube found a way to magically and suddenly remove all of its broadcast content.
- Adopt A Microbe - Featured on Blogger. The illustrations are particularly hehful.
