"You don't want it. He can't have it back."

This is my new favorite thing ever. Oh. My. God. It's like Ebay but for "ex"bling. You can buy or sell jewelry given by exes- and read the story that accompanies each piece's past or post yours. I. Love. This. Site.

Adopt a Donkey

2 people recommended this item

Description

I'd like to state for the record that I did not come online tonight to buy a donkey.

However, there are a few phrases in life that I have discovered I can't resist.

"He is a very mischievous donkey" is one of them.

So may I introduce my new donkey, Oscar to you. Yes. I paid 15 pounds to adopt a donkey. Yes, I realize I will never hear the end of this. No, you may not pet my donkey. Go adopt your own.


**For a few extra quid, get the DVD of your donkey so you can show him off to your friends. Or just stare at him and air pet him. Whichever. (via AVerte)

Thees seete-a is su mooch foon! I dun't knoo vhet use-a it hes oozeer thun tu interteeen me-a boot sumeteemes, vell, thet's inuoogh!

That would be in "Swedish Chef" language for all you Muppet fans.

Translation? This site is so much fun! I don't know what use it has other than to entertain me- but sometimes, well, that's enough!

This is a free, fun web toy. Just enter a site url (to translate a whole page) or text of your choice and choose from such "languages" as Elmer Fudd, Redneck, Swedish Chef and more. It'll pop your translation right back to you. Yeah, it's nonsense. And IMO, the world needs a bit more of that some days.

Great site!

One Million Masterpiece: World's Largest Art Project

First to recommend

Description

I joined this last year and love visiting the site to see all the new additions. Great concept, nice execution, wonderful purpose- for charity. It's the world's largest art project. You join, get your own little niche to decorate and then it's added to the big picture.


From the site:

The One Million Masterpiece is a global arts project. As a community we are creating a piece of artwork that will provide a unique snapshot of modern society through the eyes of one million people scattered across the world. To do this we are asking artists and non-artists alike to complete one small square of a giant digital canvas. The project is supported by the largest online arts communities, is an official world record holder and aims to raise $5 million for charitable causes.

Stuck in Customs

First to recommend

Description

Stuck in Customs is actually a person. Trey Ratcliffe. Entrepreneur by day, extraordinary HDR photographer by... day? Night? It's pretty hard to know when he fits it all in if you read his bio.

Whether shooting motorcycles, the Churches of Italy (make SURE to check out his Duomo shots) or Disneyland, he will captivate you and compel you to look at your life, your pictures and your world a different way. I knew nothing of HDR until I happened upon one of his shots on flickr many months ago. I was immediately spellbound.

One of my favorite photographers.
