The Ranting Beaver

The Beaver is going to hate this, probably my NY friends too, but I had to share.

For the Yankee fans, I know your team recently won the World Series and all, but it doesn't mean I dislike the Yankees any less. Sorry, there's no more room for me on the bandwagon (I'm not really sorry). After I saw all of the so called 'fans' come out of the woodwork, stuff like this cracks me up.

Thanks to The Chive for the image and the laugh.

Yeah, I know, not a huge news flash but sometimes we forget the talent behind the voices. Saw this on TV last night, had to share:



Wrong, yes. Funny as hell, also yes.

Been meaning to post these for a while ... been playing around with them both to see how much I like them.

I have two new items for you, one is a visual search engine and one will allow you to create a link for generating buzz on any topic you like.

First up is Spezify.
This is called a 'visual search engine' which means that the results come back in a more visual layout. This is actually really useful for pictures and video, both of which can be viewed without leaving the page. Includes Twitters too. You also navigate by dragging the mouse in a 3D motion. Definitely cool.

Here are some example results pages:
Mets
Olivia Munn
Venture Brothers

Next is Addictomatic.
This is kinda neat as it allows you to create a 'one-stop' page for any topic. The page contains multiple sources so you can have multiple links for your specific topic. You can then send this link out in a Twitter or as part of your Facebook status for example. Might also be good to see what others are saying about your topic. Seems useful either way.

Here are some example results pages:
V (as in the TV show)
Obama
Deviant Art

Feel free to let me know what you think about either of them.
