Stuff White People Like

I don't find it racist, and I'm white. Stuff White People Like is right on in describing certain things, such as 80s Night, The Daily Show/Colbert Report, and Dinner Parties. Great in describing these things, but they don't apply to ALL white people - just your stereotypical white people that don't fit into any other stereotypes (redneck, guido, etc.). And they could also apply to other ethnicities as well. It's become pretty well known, even been on the Drudge Report for news stories relating to the uproar at its racism(?). But these ARE things that white people like, so it's not like it's a lie. See the whole list here, but make sure to check it out!

The Rut

Following up on See Mike Draw and Pencils at Dawn comes The Rut, a blog of comics done by Mike's partner/nemesis Phil. I really like this one and this one. Check it out!

Pencils at Dawn

Following up on See Mike Draw, I present to you Pencils at Dawn, an ongoing cartoon battle between Mike and some other guy, Phil. As it says about the site: "When two cartoonists go to war, the lead will fly." What they do is use a random word generator to give them a word, then each of them submit a cartoon based on that word. You can vote on which one won in the comments section. My favs so far are "Area" and "Nowhere". Check it out!

See Mike Draw

See Mike Draw. No, really. Mike has comics and you want to see them. I promise. I could post on and on about the different ones I like, but I'll let you find your own favorites. I'll just point out this one (the wizard of oz one). And this one. Ok, that's it...check it out for yourself.

Schwartzcom

Phil Schwartz, distinguished Gator alum, runs a blog for his consultancy dealing in internet marketing. Most posts are always quite amusing, especially his lists of enlightening stats. Check it out, and tell him I sent you there.

PostSecret

PostSecret is really cool in a semi-voyeuristic kind of way. As the website puts it, PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. Some are funny, some are sad, some make you think. Everything is completely anonymous. It provides an avenue for people to admit to things they'd otherwise be embarrassed to say. Always worth a few minutes to go through and read them - makes you realize, in many instances, you're not the only one.

Indexed

Ok, back after a week off spent interviewing in New York. Anyway, blog of the day is Indexed. Done by Jessica Hagy. She puts all these wonderful little truths and realizations in diagrams and graphs on index cards - quite amusing. She's even got a book out showcasing some of her work. I think she may even have a little bit of love for the Gators here, but it could possibly be the Fighting Illini, from what I read. Anyway, check it out!

Advertising Lab

Advertising Lab is a blog about all this really cool technology that can in some way or another be related to advertising. Some speculation, some about stuff actually going on, like NXT, but all really cool. It's written by an emerging media strategist at Hill, Holliday in Boston. Makes sense, as he's getting paid to find out about stuff like this.

NXT

Ok, I found this really cool product, and I thought I'd share it: NXT. And I can technically post about it because it does have a blog, though it's empty save for a test post with some comments. Check out what Advertising Lab had to say about it (and now I'll have to post Advertising Lab tomorrow...).

Weemade

Came across this on Neatorama. Weemade is a blog that lets people post up children's artwork. Some pretty cute, fun stuff. Provides lots of good inspiration for things if you look at it long enough. One of the keys to unlocking creativity is to think like a child, so check it out!

Suicide Bots

Described as "Hot Bot on Bot Action," Suicide Bots brings you all you ever wanted (or didn't know you wanted) to know about robots. Don't know why it's called Suicide Bots. I don't see any robots killing themselves. Lot of fun, interesting videos and pictures (and a couple boring ones too). I liked this one video where a dog takes on a robot to Mario-inspired sound effects. Scoring was a little suspect, but the concept was fun. Another fun thing was a remote control/potentially autonomous drink delivering robot.

Rooster Teeth

Interesting name. Rooster Teeth. Don't remember where it came from. They're the guys who brought you Red vs. Blue, the famous Halo machinima series. What I love about the site, though, is all the goofy, nerdy comics. And all the video game talk. Maybe because I understand them. Oh well.

Neatorama!

I stumbled across Neatorama today following up something I read about the agency Mother London. What I found was a blog full of the most random yet interesting stuff I'd ever seen! The Last Supper, in Lego, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and 2nd grader form! A bar that hosted a Mario Party, complete with drinks named Yoshii, Bowser, and Princess Peach! And exactly what bra Oprah prefers! (that last one is for you, liz) Anyway, check it out!
