Many a blogger will end the week with a "things I saw on the internet this week" post (or something similar), so I figured I'd try my hand at one. For now, the format will be inspired by Kaelah Bee's "Things I Love Thursday" posts. Here goes!
-My baby sister shared this with me on Facebook. I'm pretty sure it was a sketch from Jimmy Kimmel, and I'm pretty sure I've seen it before...but it's hilarious. Oh LOST, how I miss you!
-I think the marketing campaign for Monsters University is absolutely brilliant- advertising the school as a real place instead of focusing on the plot of the movie (although obviously there have been trailers involving the plot, too).
-I agree with BoingBoing's assessment of this situation- if the Oscars can't make e-voting work on such a small scale, how on earth could we make it work for a national presidential election?
-Pakistan decided to lift their block of YouTube. Three minutes later, they were offended again and re-blocked it.
-It appears that Newspapers in Ireland are hell-bent on driving themselves out of business- they are demanding that people pay them hundreds of euros to link to articles from their websites in the form of a licensing fee.
-Mr. Geek recently convinced me that milk is actually drinkable a day or two past its sell-by date, and according to this article, that may be true of most foods. Makes sense, really, as it's a sell-by date and not an eat-by date.
What has the internet done for you this week?
Much love,
The Geeks
