1. IMDb Resume for Troy McClure (see also) - "Hi, I'm Troy McClure. You may remember me from such self-help tapes as 'Smoke yourself thin' and 'Get some confidence, Stupid!'"
2. Top 10 new species ("coolest, weirdest and deadlest") - check out Desmoxytes purpurosea:
3. Epic Bill Gates e-mail rant - This one's been all over the web during the last few days, but if you somehow missed it, it's pretty interesting to know Bill Gates is all too familiar with the user experience woes constantly afflicting computer users. I always assumed he was somehow ignorant of the problem or isolated from it in some way because Microsoft is one of the worst offenders. User experience seems to have been a relatively low priority for them from day one.
4. Baby bounces gleefully to mom's banjo playing - ah, to be a baby again (or to be someone who can play the banjo!):
5. Land of the Lost intro. - Do any of you remember this strange, horribly cheesy show? I was reading an entry at Dooce.com and memories of it came flooding back. I fondly recall watching this dreck on Saturday mornings and, with the perception and imagination of a four year-old, absolutely loving it. (Here's a better-quality copy.)
