I can has cheezburger makes me LOL. Srsly. Not sure what it all means? Read about lolcats, or read this, it’s very exciting. Linguistically. Plus there are buckets.
It kinda started with cat macros and lolcats, probably not these blogs specifically, but with the general idea, and grew from there. See also stuff on my cat and my cat hates you.
Oh, and somewhat related, there is now a disapproving rabbits blog! And of course, don’t forget cute overload…have you been there lately?
I really want to make a couple of these…one for myself, and one for Hyewon–it’s such a great pattern, and it makes variegated yarn (which i don’t usually like) do amazing things. It’s a popular project on the Internet these days; there’s a knitalong and a Flickr pool. The complete pattern comes from Last Minute Knitted Gifts, but i found the basic stitch on Nona Swatches, and i’ll figure it out from there. Actually i bought some ribbon yarn and started a test swatch, but frogged it because the yarn didn’t feel or hang nice for a scarf. I’ll have to go here to pick out some nice yarn with Hyewon…
Here are some of the colour combinations that have caught my eye:

Lasse Gjertsen is one of those people who makes me believe in the goodness of humanity again 
his work is his play, and his work represents truth and beauty. i think he knows what life is…he’s wacky and addicted to porn, but he’s got a vision that most of us don’t have. Anyway, this first video is the first i saw of his mad editing skillz:
Then, i looked around a bit more and found these:
And then he popped up again with this…really beautiful…
I love how this visualization lets you experience the Toccata and Fugue in a new way:
And these next two are awesome videos from the visual art perspective (if not from the musical perspective–i could take or leave the songs…)

Bella Dia is a great craft website that i really like…she loves colour and cute as much as i do, it seems! her crafts are amazing, especially her felt work and pincushions (in particular, the little houses). She started the Encyclopedia of Me Meme, and she has her own Etsy shop. Check out more on her Flickr.

It’s weird that it’s an English song–i don’t listen to North American music much…
I’ve been listening to it nonstop for the past 2 days…played it for all three of my classes yesterday…
Watch this!
