Someone finally put their computer programming skills to use and created a parody site creating realistic Sarah-Palin-answers to interview questions (I swear, I am not turning this into a political blog…).

The site, called InterviewPalin.com, asks legitimate questions and predicts legitimately real, though unorganized and Alaskan-jaded answers.

The creators based the concept from the Katie Couric interviews that took place this past week:

Pardon my political dust.

Sorry that I’m a bit late on this, but it’s definitely worth posting anyway.

Sarah Palin crosses Mickey Mouse:

This is my “modest blog horse.” It’s the horse that I ride when I am modest about any blogs read online today. Look for him on days when things are slow.

At a time when the Huffington-trading-Post has confirmations of Lindsay Lohan’s relationship, I untie modest-blog-horse and we eat sugar cubes and neigh in agony.

Then, Google called from the heavens and told me to help others (on my modest horse) with their new “Project 10 to the 100th.”

We are riding off into the sunset now. I’ve got a mission and a saddle.

Today we revisit my fervor for MS DOS in all of its splendor; specifically, “Ugh!” in which you play the role of an adventurous caveman braving the treacherous stone age.

I have often longed to play this game again, but to no avail. I am on a high-speed chase, tailing behind technology. But now we have come full circle. This is all thanks to Boxer, the DOS game emulator for Mac OS X. It has a few bugs, but hey, it’s the first version.

I’m going to wear my MS DOS shirt in honor.

Every time I think about going shopping, I get grossed out at the thought of being surrounded by people and their frivolous conversations and their consumption of my potential space.

I prefer shopping online. I’ll pay the shipping as long as I don’t have to hear another story about a girl and her jerk boyfriend.

This is why Storenvy is the greatest idea ever. It’s a Web marketplace for clothing consisting of over 80 online, independent stores. It also allows clothing sellers to set-up digi-shop.

Yessss. No more social anxiety! I’m cured!

If you know me, you know my moleskine. At one point, in my weakest application of vigilance, I lost it in the hectic turmoil that is West Campus… Luckily for me and unfortunately for him, some schmuck read the whole thing and was able to find me on Facebook.

It made me realize how much I missed that genuine block of paper. The downside: when you run out of room, it gets expensive.

That’s why this is the Web treasure of today: Make your own Moleskine-Like Notebook.

Not that any of us really have time to sit around and make notebooks all day (or maybe you could sub some creativity for some TV? no? That’s cool, whatev), but the concept is sweet.

An ambiguous blogger named “Joe” has fathomed a blogging project too abstract for my feeble lobes.

“Joe” has promised to construct a toy a day using just paper and posting a picture of each on the project’s host-blog, “Toy-A-Day.”

That’s Joe’s profile picture.

Anyway, Joe makes cool paper figurines of well-known characters that are actually pretty damn good. He vows to keep making figurines for a full year. Right now, he’s on day 65. He is also taking submission ideas.

Make yourself, JoeBlog.

The Internet has had the biggest effect on this election over any other election, blah blah blah. I’m not here to tell you about a sociological study. So here is a damned URL.

The DNC’s elite field of political scientists have used weird-science-Web 2.0 to their advantage and made it alive with McCain’s haterisms. They used the brilliance of Wikipedia technique and consolidated all McCain flaws into one little wiki: McCainPedia.org.

McCainPedia.org

To be fair, this could counter the RNC’s move with the BarackBook–a take on Obama’s campaign with an illusory Facebook homepage displaying satirical status updates.

The only problem is, even fake Facebook is really annoying.

Who’s got my vote? Check my Facebook status. Right.

Either you’re taking uppers 24/7, or sometimes you just feel anxious around people. True story.

Long ago, there were rumors of phone services created to save damsels from situations of social distress.
I searched that rainbow and finally hit the gold: getmooh.com, or Get Me Out of Here.

The site allows you to schedule your phone number with a time to get you out of an unpleasant circumstance, with your choice of savior-recording.

One of the recordings is Alec Baldwin. Another is your drug dealer. It all makes sense.

“The taco was created by Asians, but stolen by the Mexicans in 1669.” -“Taco.” Wikipedia.

Wooorth it. Good steal.

I feel that at one point blogging could have lost its way. But the taco brought it back, thanks to a blogger right here in Austin, who frequents taco stands and blogs about the tacos that inhabit them.

He gives each stand a rating of 1-5 stars.

The blog is called Taco Journalism, and quite frankly, I’m disappointed UT has not hopped into making that a journalism sequence within the program. I would join.
