Worst food packaging tagline EVER. Ever. Evereverever. Get that spray outta my face!

If you are a Dashboard widget user and a Basecamp user, you might enjoy this Basecamp Dashboard widget. You can check out some screenshots on Flickr.

Flickr – a Yahoo! Company™ – has limited contacts (3,000) and tags (75 per photo) and, as of March 15 the old email-based Flickr sign-in system is kaput, forcing users to set-up and login using a Yahoo! ID.

Flickr users are not happy, despite knowing ever since the Yahoo! acquisition that this was going to happen. Stewart responds to everyone’s whining and venom.

I merged my accounts months back… it’s a tad annoying, but not worth all the fuss. (But what would the internet be without something to complain about?)

Quote, “From Ann Coulter down to some blogger who posts flames just to start a comment war and get attention. They take a natural resource and rip it up to make a few bucks. It’s really sad. The thing is, if someone went to a place we value (like the symphony) and started yelling, we’d ask em to leave…even better, they wouldn’t even yell because yelling is just wrong. It rips apart the process for everyone.” Seth Godin on netiquette, and various other things in part 1 of this Fireside Chat at 37Signals.

And now starring as the Spiderman Spidy3 Interactive Green Goblin 14″ action figure, G.I. Joe’s Snake Eyes with a green head.

I just got a Google referral for “josh blankenship being gay.” What the foxtrot?

Spike Jonze GAP tv spot. That had to be fun to make. It doesn’t make me want to shop there, but I find it enjoyable to watch and any random inclusion of a lumberjack in advertising makes me smile. (via Almost Everything)

Psst… hey kids, Reinvigorate is back online.

“Blah, blah, blah, put their pants on one leg at a time, blah, blah, blah.”

Almost everyday, for as long as I can remember, I have put on my pants both legs at a time. The method varies (side of the bed? via a chair? leaping into an already standing pair of pants, precariously held up by an intricate web of wires?) but the end result is the same: both legs into the pants at (or very-near) the same time. The agility-prowess-building qualities of the exercise aside, why would any sane person do this?

I determined a long time ago that I didn’t want to blindly give in to conventional wisdom just for the sake of its convention, nor did I want to leave my house in the same mindset that everyone I would encounter that day left their respective abodes. I don’t want to live and think and move and act and create in the same ways that everyone else does. I’d rather live something akin to an extraordinary life, if at all possible.

My morning dressing routine is just one of those silly little things that brings not-so-silly (dang serious, even) thinking into my brain at the beginning (or very-near) of everyday. Creatively speaking, I feel like I have a leg up on everyone before I’m even out the door.

What are you doing to force yourself to think differently and actively?

Quite possibly the internet’s most comprehensive 404 error page, with interpretations in pretty much every language (and a few funnies thrown in for good measure.)

Mapping New Testament social networks. Data visualization goes holy on us.

Dotcomrade Aaron Martin is the featured designer at Logo Pond right now. He’s one of my favorites, and his identity work is stellar. I particularly like this Passage logo. He also has had a very comfortable couch.

We’ve got a Superbowl commercial for Nationwide featuring the lovely and talented Kevin Federline in all his post-fame glory. You can watch it at Nationwide.com and it’s starting to pop up on YouTube. Pretty brilliant word-of-mouth marketing move to release the plot, the details, and then the actual spot itself prior to the TV debut.

Jerry Donahue, onetime member of the Hellecasters, and master of guitar string bending.

In celebration of the launch of Windows Vista, let’s revisit the PC ad archives of yesteryear: Steve Ballmer selling Windows 1.0 (“WHAT’S it gonna take to get you into a NEW CAR operating system?!?”and the Windows 386 song, which is too amazing for words.

On March 17, Ze Frank will end The Show to pursue life as a Holywood starlet. File under: didn’t we all see this coming?

Frank Zappa on Crossfire in 1986 standing his ground (quite well I’d add) on music censorship.

Mint 2.0 it is. Inman releases the first major upgrade of his successful and useful stats tracking app Mint. Stamatiou has some screenshots.

Something’s brewing at shauninman.com/ingsoon right now.

My new favorite snack: Pei Wei lettuce wraps with a side of rice. Related Asian restaurant dining activity: The Lady and I always make up stories wherein the grand finale punchline is uttered by cracking open your fortune cookie and reading the fortune (e.g. “…and thus the wise, old wizard struck down the carnivorous robot dolphin with his broken staff and, through bearded, muffled lips exclaimed [insert fortune cookie fortune here].”)

Unfortunately (unintentional pun), during tonight’s snackage, I opened my cookie to find Asian emptiness staring back at me; broken walls of thin, crisp, baked cookie that have never felt the presence of a potentially-prophetic paper slip.

I leave it up to you to give me my missing phantom fortune.

Please do not feed the enraged volcano tiki gods.
