A Fail Whale of Paradise
Not quite your typical fail whale, but if you’re going to be offline for a wee bit, might as well do it in paradise.

When’s Hawaii Getting Kimchi Tacos?
Sounds like a winner, combining Korean and Mexican flavors into a multicultural treat. I wonder when this crossover will cross over to Hawaii?
And Kogi Korean BBQ-To-Go uses Twitter to announce their next location.
Is Facebook Making You Think Like a Baby?
There’s a recent British study indicating that use of Facebook might “drive human brains and behavior in negative directions” and that minds of FB users might become “infantilized, characterized by short attention spans, sensationalism, inability to empathize and a shaky sense of identity.”
It’s a good thing I started spending more time on Twitter!
A Corn-y Makeover
Okay, these aren’t exactly the same but still, the Jolly Green Giant’s corn product packaging has gotten a makeover.
The new design looks fresher with the green fields and a close-up of the corn kernels. Thankfully, the Giant’s green legs and unmanly booties have been covered up. The typeface of the main wording went to a sans serif font which What the Font identifies as Highlander. I think not, but I can’t id the font either.
Twuating with Gmail
If you’re going to be twuating Twitter names, don’t forget that you can use Gmail’s “unlimited” email account feature to help you out. Since Twitter accounts need to be associated with email addresses, you can easily create a matching Gmail account using the “+” feature.

Twitter Fans and Shaq Collide
These are the stories you hope to happen to you one day. Two NBA fans and Twitter users were not believers of THE_REAL_SHAQ on Twitter. Could that really be Shaq Fu or just a 5-4, 14-year old poser? They found out the Twitter way after a chance Tweetup with the Shaqilicious.
Read their story and see their pics. And yeah, blogging about meeting Shaq is good for the ratings.
Thanks to @coachdean for the lead.
Chris Brown and Rihanna = Brutal
You probably already saw the reported picture of a battered Rihanna. If you haven’t, you can go here. It’s brutal.
GoGirl Lets Women Pee Standing Up
How about this for gender equality? GoGirl has introduced a female urination device (FUD) which allows them to pee while standing up. Not quite a urinal for guys, but this silicone product is portable and even reusable after cleaning.
Here’s how GoGirl is described on Twitter:
Simply put, GoGirl is the way to stand up to disgusting or non-existent bathrooms. It’s a female urination device which allows women to pee standing up. When could you have used one?
Who’s getting a GoGirl?
And keeping with the social networking movement, you can also find GoGirl on Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr.
How Was Your Valentine’s Day?
How did your Valentine’s Day go? Not good? Did you try all four ways of expressing your love? Yes, the classic four ways of saying “I love you” – buying expensive diamonds, going on a tropical vacation, carving your initials in a tree, and the newest way, buying a Cisco ASR 9000 router! Yes, getting your sweetheart the $250,000 ASR 9000 is THE cutting edge way of professing your undying love.
Doesn’t your heart flutter hearing about transferring 6.4 terabits per second, 400Gbps per slot, and 6x mobile backhaul capacity?! Who knew Cisco held the key to every woman’s heart?
Shaq Jamming with the Jabbawockees
NBA big man Shaquille O’Neal and me are baller brothers separated at birth. Yeah, right (but our birthdays are almost the same). Anyways, before the 2009 NBA All Star Game even began, Shaq started off the All Star intros proper jamming with the Jabbawockees.
Even after all these years banging in the NBA, I can’t believe a guy of his size (and age) can move like that.
It’s Not Just Bad, It’s Incredibad
This week, Andy Samberg from Saturday Night Live and his cohorts from the Lonely Island released their new CD titled Incredibad. This debut contains the already hits Dick in a Box, J**z in my Pants, and Lazy Sunday. Who knows what other hilarity ensues?
Not only that, but guest vocalists such as T-Pain and Norah Jones add some serious star power to the comedic melodies. Check out this release on iTunes and see if it’s really incredibad!
Salma Hayek Breastfeeds Africa
Oh wait, that’s supposed to be “breastfeeds African baby.” I don’t know what to make of this…
