FedEx Furniture

Well, it was about half way thru last week when i was trying to post this site on the blog, but after finding it, everytime i went back, it was down. This morn i decided to give it one last try. And it's back up with an explanation. He's being sued.

Waiting For Bigfoot

This is an interesting one. It's a project for an art exhibition running from 2 July - 20 August 2005. They've got a webcam set up sending live footage of a remote Northern California forest in the hopes that it'll catch Bigfoot.

Graduation Cap Hack

Here's a guy who "pimped" his graduation cap .... and a detailed account of how he did it, so you can too. *Unfortunately*, here in South Africa, we don't wear these ridiculous contraptions ;)

Diary of a (Fired) Flight Attendant

A rather interesting blog started by an American flight attendant while still working for Delta Airlines in Texas. I gather she was fired from her job specifically for things posted on her blog. Quite interesting.

Crazy eBay Mom

This is a site worth waiting for to download. This guy has set up a site allowing the viewer to "tour" his mom's house ... she's been frantically buying up all sorts of useless stuff on eBay and can't seen to throw a single thing away either. Scary.

Fake Dr. Pepper

Who knew there were so many people trying to jump on the Dr Pepper wagon ?? But, if you were ever wondering just how many other beverages were copying them & just how many "Dr" drinks there were .... then this is the list for you.

Photos of an Unknown Family ...

... who probably owned a liquor store. I like this site, it's kind of strange looking at some unknown family's photo's from the sixties, but it truly does show how things have changed: the hair, the clothes, the interior decorating ;) It's just interesting. And hey, maybe you'll recognise someone in this family and they won't be unknown anymore :)

Bratzapper

Bwahahahahaha. I don't believe this. Although they're clearly trying to ensure correct use - each comes with a training CD and when you order, one of their disciplinary technicians (could you get more politically correct??) will decide if it is right for you! Hmmm, I think i'll stick to good old-fashioned child disciplinary measures when the time comes !

Gas Buddy

Well, in light of South Africans having to tolerate yet another fuel price increase (19 more cents on the 4th May 2005), i think this website is a winner (unfortunately it is only for American & Canadian states - but we can visit it with envy!)

Airport Monitor for LAX

Yes, that's right, I couldn't believe they put this stuff online either !! But it's right there & you can watch it in real time. Hmmm, you'd think after September 11th America would be a little more careful about these things !?!?
