Here's a little something I found to be one of the best versions of Rebel Yell I've heard.

The Fibonacci Sequence Set To Tool's "Lateralus"
"Lateralus" by Tool - This is very interesting and I think it was done on purpose although this video makes it seem like it was coincidence.
Dead Sound

It's been a few years I've been into The Raveonettes, but their new stuff is really attracting me. Nice little video here.

Won't Say Anything
"Won't Say Anything" by Hello Seahorse!
Here's a neat-o little video with a catchy tune and a singer that looks like she could be Meg White's second cousin. (With the same amount of rhythm, but with cute glasses.)

Behold the Visual Dictionary
Okay. I'll admit I'm a little excited about this. This is probably the neatest thing I've found on the internet in a while and I'm surprised this didn't pop up years ago. It's Merriam-Webster's Visual Dictionary. You know when you don't know what the name of something is and you just know what's associated with it? Well now you can get that word off the tip of your tongue. For instance, that little thing on the end of a shoelace...what's it called? Look up shoe, and there you go. It's called a tag.

Bright Blinds
Two Japanese designers have created Bright Blinds, which are blinds to be hung on blank walls to give the appearance of a window behind them. Electroluminescent sheeting is what simulates the daylight, and the amount of light emitted is controlled via the same methods as traditional blinds. Kinda cool if you as me, but I'm sure you'd look pretty silly if you were a secret agent looking for a quick escape out that window.
Madballs Are Back!
I remember having the green one, and only that one. I don't think my mom enjoyed the sight of it so she'd put in places that took me a while to find. Anyway, they're being reissued and they're only six bucks. Click pic for more.

What Was and Is At the Drive-In
Here's some brief education. At the Drive-In was an influential American post-hardcore band from El Paso, Texas, that was active from 1993 to 2001. The peak of their stardom was reached with the release of the single "One Armed Scissor" off the album Relationship of Command. In 2001, at the peak of their popularity and following a world tour, At the Drive-In broke up, initially referring to the split as an "indefinite hiatus." A combination of excessive hype, relentless touring, artistic differences, and guitarist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez & vocalist Cedric Bixler-Zavala's drug habits all contributed to the demise of the band.
Dancing On the Corpse's Ashes - "Invalid Litter Dept." by At the Drive-In
Shortly after the break-up, Jim Ward (vocalist/guitarist), Paul Hinojos (bassist), and Tony Hajjar (drummer) formed Sparta. Although their first album was their best in my opinion, they certainly have grown into their own skin.
"cut Your Ribbon" by Sparta
Also shortly after the break-up, Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez formed The Mars Volta which is considered progressive rock, with jazz, punk, psychedelic, funk and Latin influences. They're known for their wild, energetic, and improvised live shows as well as their complex, often concept-based studio albums which I've found to be more difficult to listen to per release due to their song structure and musical formula which was fresh ONLY in their first album De-Loused in the Comatorium.
"Drunkship of Lanterns" by The Mars Volta
Both bands continue to produce albums at a steady pace and don't show any signs of stopping. Here's more of them for your listening pleasure:

Malacca Flask Umbrella - This is a pretty good idea. It's always interesting to see what companies will turn into a flask. But this...this...costs almost $900.00. Now, if you've got $900 to spend on a flask, one that doubles as an umbrella, I'm pretty sure you can drink wherever the hell you damn well please. So, if you can MAKE this for someone that would be a better bet. I'D appreciate it.

What Makes 100%
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?
Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K is
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E is
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E is
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
And,
B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T is
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%
AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.
A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G is
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%
So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Dish Drainer Project
This is a pretty good idea and I'm surprised no one else has come up with it by now. Basically you wash your dishes and let them drip-dry over your plants so you don't have to water them. This would work out well for me because I have a lot of trouble remembering to water my plants. Which is why I don't have any. And then again, I have a dishwasher...that I don't use. Well, I DO use it but I use it as a drip-dryer 'cause it can hold so many dishes. what a dumb idea this thing is. Click pic for more.
