We’ve had a brief reprieve from the heat and humidity here in Philly – it’s been perfect. I’ve been a little cranky the last couple of days – no real reason – just annoyed in general. Here’s hoping that next week is better.
I’ve got some freelancing, some funny stuff, a book preorder, and my own photo and video.
- The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Guide to Freelancing – For the first 5 years, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my favorite all time show. It still makes me laugh. Here is an article that relates freelancing to that program.
- Why I Usually Grocery Shop Alone – The second installment in Jannie Funster’s very funny “alone” series.
- 34 Ways to Use YouTube for Business – Creative ideas on ways to use YouTube for your business.
- Gets No Respect I Tell Ya, No Respect – A funny email about linking to someone else’s images.
- Smashing Book Pre Order – Smashing Magazine has written a web design book, which can be pre-ordered for a discount.
-
This was outside a restaurant near where I live. I haven’t eaten there and I don’t think I will.
-
Memento Mori is one of the games that I’m currently playing (although I’ve been reading late at night a lot more than playing). This is a video I took of the intro scene.
-
I’ve been listening to Metric all week. This isn’t the best video that I found but it has good sound. If I was a guy I would totally have a crush on Emily Haines.

The advertising board “Got Balls…” is too crude and would raise a helluva at my country (Singapore). Like you, I probably wouldnt frequent such outlets

Hi ZQ – It’s crude but I also think it’s funny. I was really surprised when I saw it.

Hey what’s this game you are playing? Do you like it? It has some very poor reviews (see gamespot). Do you like it so far?

Hi Stratos – It’s called Memento Mori and is a point and click adventure game. Gamespot rarely likes an adventure game and gives lower scores than is really fair. I don’t read Gamespot. It’s not a perfect game but I would give it a 6.5 or 7 rather than a 4.5.
It had a good story with a great twist at the end – there are also 6-8 different endings depending on how you played the game.

Hmmmm you are giving me an idea :P I will probably check it out!

Yeaaaaah, I’d rather not try their balls. Even for only $8.
Awesome list! How is Memento Mori?

Hi Jim – I liked it a lot – apparently a lot better than Gamespot …

Got balls is really funny.

Hi Nihar – It’s funny but I’m never going to eat there.
