It’s time time time for some for some great great great links links links.

Anyone else else else reading an echo echo echo?

1. First up, is there a website you would like to utterly destroy? Perhaps you’re jealous of John Chow? Maybe you just want to obliterate your least favorite Presidential candidate’s website? Well, now you can, and the Feds won’t come after you! Probably. Just give NetDisaster.com a try. You have your choice of methods of destruction. Fun! Just don’t mess around with my blog, okay?
2. Like cool pictures? Here you go. I’ll warn you thought that some images (and language) are NSFW. And, the navigation strikes me as a bit unpredictable. Sometimes clicking on an image will take you to a page with more info on the image; other times you’ll click an image and be presented with a page of unrelated images. I guess it’s like a box of chocolates… Anyway, here are a few cool ones I spotted, assuming, of course, I got the URLs right: Smart Answer (worth the price of admission*), Happy Bug (I have a similar photo I’ll post maybe one day), Heavy Construction, The Best Way, and a Dog’s Life.
3. Some interesting “guerilla marketing” ads here. One of the ads is for an “adults only” kind of store but the image itself is SFW. Mostly. Maybe not if you work at a church or something. Or are at church, browsing the web on your iPhone. And, if you are at church reading my blog, you’re probably in some serious trouble. Better drop to your knees and say ten Hail Mary’s, even if you’re not Catholic, because God may not be too keen on you right now, so you may need someone to intercede on your behalf. Reading blogs in church is one of the Seven Deadly Sins of the Digital Age. Viewing porn is another. Stop it! Put the phone away and listen to the preacher. What would your mother think?
4. A new non-drip bottle. If Star Trek: The Next Generation was still on, they’d probably be using this bottle in Ten Forward. But, how do you keep the contents fresh? Where’s the lid? If the liquid can drip back in, can’t air get in as well and spoil the contents?
5. The Great Enigma Videos of 2007. I like the Bristol Bot the best, but maybe it’s just because I have one of those little motors and haven’t been able to make a Sonic Screwdriver out of it, so maybe this would be a good second choice. And you do need to check out the LED Lego Minifigures.
6. What’s blacker than black? How about something even more black than the previous blackest thing? Three times blacker, in fact. Good for scientific purposes, but probably won’t be very useful in the home. If you have a room painted black that you want even blacker, turn off the lights. Problem solved!
7. Impress your friends by punching your finger through a metal bottle cap! Just make sure you’re using a bottle cap that matches the brand of beverage you were drinking. Or carry an assortment with you, just to be prepared for when you need to impress someone with an impromptu magic trick. On the other hand, if your friends are already drunk, matching the bottle cap won’t be as big a concern.
8. WARNING! WARNING! Don’t link to BusinessWeek! THIS HAS BEEN A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT. WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG.
9. So, you’re stuck with Windows, but you really want a Mac? Here’s how to make Windows more like the Mac. Not as good as the real thing, but maybe at least you can feel like you’re one step closer to getting the genuine article.
10. Achieve a Deep, Uninterrupted Sleep. Doug could have used this a few days ago. Maybe.
11. Worried about your credit report being accessed by dozens of companies eager to offer you credit cards, used cars and other stuff? I mean, who knows what else they do with your info. Well, here’s how to lock your credit report.
12. Feel sorry for the striking WGA writers? Well, maybe you shouldn’t feel too sorry for them. Write one episode of a sitcom, and they get $17,000.00, which is more than a good number of American TV viewers make in a year!
13. Prepare for Halloween–only 278 days away!–with horror and blood and gore that you can do yourself in Photoshop with these 70 effects and brushes. No doubt flickr will soon be inundated with images of Bush as a zombie and Hillary as a demonic devil.

Well, that’s all for this time time time. I’d share more, but I spent too much time at the Evil Mad Scientist Lab Lab Lab.

*Free, I think, but if I had said that, it wouldn’t have sounded nearly as impressive.
