Captain’s Log

Sent to me from Nick: Gummy Lighthouses. We both wish we’d had these last year.

(Thanks to Fil for sending me this one)

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

I’d never heard of these comics before, but they crack me up… in particular the most recent one.

These cards are quite funny.

Thank God!

I had never seen this, but I guess it has been around for a while. If you want to kill a few hours, check out these funny pictures.

Hofstadter’s Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter’s law.

Love it.

At any given time, there are generally only one or two websites I look forward to seeing an update from on a regular basis. Back in the day, it was The Onion. These days, it is uncov. It’s pretty much the anti-TechCrunch (although I like TechCrunch as well). They pick startups which they think are bad ideas, and tear them up. They’ve given new meaning to the word “Fail.”

A few of my favorite uncov articles (you’ll see the lead image is often funny on it’s own):

1. Their June 2007 coverage of Pownce
2. Their spat with Robert Scoble
3. The lead image on their Timebridge coverage is inexplicably funny to me (as is the word “failroad”).
4. A pretty solid (and funny) response to the hype around Zoho Viewer.
5. Graphing lolcats’ daily reach against Mahalo

I can only aspire to one day have a startup featured on uncov.

I think it’s funny.
