Things On the Internet

I have accumulated things to go on here that I found on the interwebs/net/tubes or the bloggy-boos (yes, I have heard someone refer to blogs as "bloggy-boos").

1. This website has cute backgrounds for your computer or iPhone (the ones for the iPhone are WAY cooler, so I might download them for use with something else), as well as apparel and original prints. PLUS, there is a memory game with some of the characters. I mean, Andy Awesome has everyone important, from Dr. Zoiberg to ninja peas that oddly resemble some other ballin' ninjas I know (also, note how similar Luke Skywalker and Robin look).

2. When I was younger, I wanted to get that special paint they make so people can just put up chalkboards wherever they want. That stuff is so cool. Almost as cool as this. Not only is dry erase neater, but it doesn't make such an awful sound when you use it.

3. John Green is one of my heroes. Not only is he an amazing author, but he and his brother Hank make a YouTube series called "Vlogbrothers," the history of which can be found here. These are two videos he made talking about the nature of fame in relation to Baloon Boy, which I know is a tired, subject, but John is hilarious.

Note: He calles his wife "The Yeti" because like The Real Yeti, "She'll be a prominent part of our folklore, you'll hear many stories about her, but sightings will be exceedingly rare."
