Know when that snarky bastard says "protip, just [something something]"? Check out the list of reddit supplied protips at the What is your best PROTIP? discussion.
Scoble has a good post on The social failings of Google. Rumors are that they'll release something new and amazing in the "social space" tomorrow (Tuesday). Guess we'll see what they have up their sleeves, and if whatever it is (gmail + wave + google reader?) is going to threaten the Facebook / MySpace world.
Super cool video featuring a ton of internet personalities passed over by @halkeye. Check out we love XKCD.
I just found Crying Wife.com via SmodCast. It's basically a guy who video tapes his wife who cries easily, after watching movies. Before you flame the guy for being an insensitive prick though, read his FAQ and then flame him :)
Dear Internet. I have no words to explain this: Japanese Star Wars Tuna Ad.
Via @coderpath and @srbaker comes this git commit log for the Rails 3.0 code to "deOMGify" the code. Great read and great comments.
IO9 has collected The Worst Superhero Movies Of All Time so you don't have to. Some real stinkers in there...
Contrast The Blog has a nice little look at The thickness of napkins and compares it to computer software and hardware.
I present to you, without much comment, the Fax Machine Timeline over at Doghouse. Well, maybe "ha!" is the only comment....
IO9 has a teaser trailer for The Last Airbender. Looks pretty sweet!
Remember the excellent 70 minute Episode 1 review? Well, that dude has come back and given the goods to Avatar.
Know how sometimes if you use one type of computer at home, and another at work, you end up using some behaviors from one and find they don't work on the other? If you are a mac person you might want to check out MaComfort which brings some things like quicklook and spaces to the windows world.
Well, on the heels of the Github downtime last night, and perhaps related (* twirls mustache*), Rails 3.0 beta has been committed.
There's also a new app on edge rails post up for people who want to give it a shot.
Bending over backwards in Photoshop. Literally is a great post from a flickr superstar, photographer and model. Miss Aniela shows how she created a very cool image from another fairly "meh" one. An interview with her was done for TWIP a while back and can be found here.
Another great post from waxy.org on Pirating the 2010 Oscars.
Avast, ye scurvy dogs! The Oscar nominees were announced yesterday, which means it's time again to revisit the eternal war between the MPAA and Internet movie pirates.
uTorrent Reaches Milestone With 2.0 Release.
Today, uTorrent version 2.0 was officially released. This new release is built to be more network friendly thanks to the Micro Transport Protocol (uTP) which aims to mitigate network congestion caused by poorly configured BitTorrent clients.
No, it's not released yet (as far as I know anyway), but the Ruby on Rails 3.0 Release Notes are a nice friendly look at what will be coming down the pipe.
