  • Peeling a Whole Head of Garlic, Very Quickly

    How To Peel a Head of Garlic in Less Than 10 Seconds

    At first, I saw this and I was like:

    WHAT?!

    But then I did some Googling and saw that Real Simple suggested the same method and I was like:

    Clap

  • Blinded By The Lights

    *sigh* I’ll never get tired of looking at this city all lit up.

  • PS22 Chorus + Freelance Whales

    I seriously love the version of “Generator ^ First Floor” that the PS22 Chorus did here. It’s pretty damn epic.

    Then again, it doesn’t hurt that the Freelance Whales are hanging out and backing them up. Great, great, great song.

  • Oh My God — It’s Full Of Rainbows!

    Double Rainbow + 2001 = Instant win. [via]

  • Left 4 Dead: NES Edition

    The only thing that makes me happier than knowing that this exists is knowing that it should be available for download in January of 2010. Anyone have any suggestions for good NES emulators for Linux?

  • Crowds Have Terrible Taste

    I totally missed this video when it made the rounds months ago — but after watching it, I think Christopher R. Weingarten is my new hero. Well, maybe not my hero. But at least he’s my favorite music critic now.

    If topics like crowdsourcing and its effects on criticism interest you at all, the video above is totally worth ten minutes of your time.

  • Left 4 Dead 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Squee! My all-time favorite multiplayer FPS is getting a sequel! And melee weapons! This has managed to make me so excited that I can’t seem to stop using exclamation points!

    Oh. Wait. Yes I can. *whew* That was a close one. Last time I got stuck like that it took me a week to snap out of it.

    I’m still pretty psyched tho. November 17th can’t come soon enough…

    Actually, let’s not shit ourselves — it’ll probably be here before you realize it. So if you pre-order the Xbox 360 version on Amazon now and add me on Xbox Live, we’ll be able to kill zombies without having to deal with the condescending twats they seem to employ behind the counter at Gamestop.

  • I Reckon

    This Gnarls Barkley cover of Radiohead’s “Reckoner” totally manages to make up for the fact that I didn’t really care for “The Odd Couple”.

  • History Hacker

    Ever since I’d heard about History Hacker, I’ve been geeked about it. Now, maker extraordinaire and super rad video blogger Bre Pettis, is getting a crack at the big leagues when his show airs on The History Channel this Friday at 8 PM.

    The pilot involves Tesla and his back and forth feud with Edison and has a style that seems like it was made for the ritalin set. So if the promo video above looks interesting at all, consider adding it to your DVR and checking it out.

  • Minor Threat

    Sir Ben Kingsley playing Ian MacKaye?  Why the hell not?

    Normally I’d say “that’s a stretch” — but the whole shaved head/fully bald thing actually sort of makes for inspired casting.
