That Big Scary Monster!

This cracks me up every time I see it. You just have to loooove that big scary evil monster. You know, the one that the vast majority of us now have in our homes. OOooooh… BAD.

(Ok, it may be a little bad some days. There probably is some truth to that. I’m undecided.)

Baby’s First Internet!

Oh my. This is just cracking me up. Baby’s First Internet – check it out! (Link via MishMish.)

Not sure how to explain the internet to your young ones? Presenting a series of nursery rhymes to teach children how to comport themselves on the online.

Do not stop to think or edit:
You must be the first who said it.

You heard a brand-new band? What luck!
You’ll be the first to say they suck.

In order to increase renown,
add “bacon” to most any noun.

It’s not your job to right a wrong,
just mark it FAIL and move along.

Rather than felicitations,
send your friend an application.

To be an expert’s no great tax:
Write common sense and call it “hacks.”

Your friends won’t like it, on the real,
but you must Flickr every meal.

In disagreements, all your readers
must be branded Nazi leaders.

It doesn’t matter what you say,
just publish it twelve times per day.

The illustrations by Kean Soo are over the top fabulous!

What a Carp Pedicure…

This is just crazy. This salon in Virginia uses tiny carp to nibble the scaly skin off of your feet. I can’t decide if I should say “eewwww…” or if it is a fabulous idea.

Fifty Most Influential Female Bloggers…

I am finding all sorts of great sites on this list of 50 most Influential Female Bloggers – but I have to confess that I squealed out loud (and twittered my excitement) when I saw that the Yarn Harlot, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, is listed as number 15! FIFTEEN!!! That is so awesome!

I still remember commenting to Matt at SxSWi back in 2005 or so that knitbloggers rule the world. This proves it, right?

Oh, and an added bonus? The photo that they used for the site? One of mine! I took it when she came to Houston for a book signing at my local yarn shop, Twisted Yarns. I thought it looked familiar…
