Looks like the Beastie Boys’ Grand Royal magazine is back — on the web anyway. [via K10K]

Finally saw Best in Show last night, and it was just as funny as I thought it would be. Eugene Levy, Christopher Guest, Fred Williard, etc. displayed some pure comic genius. It just secures the fact that the “mockumentary” format is my new favorite style of film. Highly recommended if you liked Spinal Tap or Waiting for Guffman.

Amazingly, this is not the Onion — it’s real news.

Does anyone know anything about founding a new city? What’s stopping people from going out in the middle of nowhere, and claiming land for their own. I’ve been thinking I’d like to start my own city. And I’d name it — (warning, I’ve never actually gone to this site) American City.

So far, this book seems pretty great. The author goes a little toward the extreme with the “you can only use HTML 1.0”, but I get the feeling that the book will be good insight for trying to design with speed, simplicity, and usability in mind.

Finally, a candidate I think I can vote for.

It’s sites like K10K that make me want to redesign everything. Now, after visting only a couple times, I don’t pretend to know exactly what its purpose is — but I do know it’s got some talented people behind it, and there’s some really great animation, fonts and desktop images there. Not a pixel out of place, either.

In other news, I finally have BeOS up and running again on a new hard drive. Sadly, I can’t post with Blogger under NetPositive. Damn, someone give us a decent browser for Be. Don’t get me wrong though, I still love the simplicity.

Driving down the Mass Pike toward Boston, it’s not often that you see an airplane on the opposite side of the highway. Yesterday, I did. Now, I’m wondering a couple things: did he have to pay the toll? were the people with sunroofs more freaked out than people that didn’t?

Foosball.com has some amazing video clips. Especially the last one, Jim’s Tornado Aerial Shot — also check out the Long Shot (funny enough, a movie from the 70s starring Leif Garret). I can’t believe these are possible.

Something Awful’s ICQ pranks are cracking me up today. Most of these are hillarious — especially The Bat Farm, Incredible New E-Commerce Business and Ravin’ With Gas.

This is a pretty cool thing. I think this year, I’ll try to actually stay awake past midnight. Something wacky is bound to happen at 01:01:01 on 01/01/01.

Would you support a bill that would mandate a surcharge on every email sent? I didn’t think so, and neither did Clinton or Lazio. Apparently, they didn’t realize it’s an urban legend.

30 lbs. in 30 days is already up to day 5 at the Spark. I’m continually amazed that two people volunteered to do this, right in my own backyard. In other news, I’ve finally got BeOS running again on my new hard drive. Ahhh. Unfortunately though, it looks like I can’t post with Blogger while in NetPositive. Bummer.

I’m encouraging everyone to go check out Fast Company. Go there often and subscribe to the magazine. Thanks.

2 funny sites for you: engrish.com (politically un-correct) and this one. I’m not really sure what to say about the latter. I’m fascinated by fake sites that go the extra mile to look real. Hell, this could still be real for all I know. Either way, it’s pretty funny.

I don’t know about you, but I would be extremely proud to be replaced by a robot.

TheSpark.com’s 30lbs. in 30 days contest has just begun. It’s incredible that two people actually volunteered for this experiment. I think I’ll be checking this out daily though to see the pounds stack on. If the commentary is anything like the Stinkymeat/feet projects, it’ll be hillarious.

Why the heck can’t I decide on a design for the site? I think I’m obsessive-compulsive.
