Surprise Yourself at The Something Store

Surprise Yourself at The Something Store
SomethingStore is a fun new website that operates simply: We will send you something, an item selected randomly among many things from our inventory, for $10 (free shipping) and you will find out what your something is when you receive it. What will yours be?
Like Woot's Bag O' Crap, but without the sold-out sign. I have not, and probably will never, buy anything from SomethingStore.com. But don't let that stop you if you want too. It's just not my sort of thing.

Is Powerset set to take on the Google? Somehow I doubt it, but they are getting a lot of marketing buzz today.

Mother's Day
May 11, 2008 – 12:33 pm
Mother's Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Different countries celebrate Mother's Day on various days of the year because the day has a number of different origins.
One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece, which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March.
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!

Sweet Child o' Mine

Half of me thinks this is the most stupid thing I've seen on the internets, but some tiny portion of the other half thinks this guy has some talent. Whichever it is, I'll be sure to buy him a beer if we ever meet. You can skip ahead to the one minute mark and not miss much.
I guess a person with this sort of talent is called a manualist and it's a lot more popular than I suspected. Be sure to check out gunecologist's channel on youtube.
