I just finished watching Act 1 of “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” and had an absolute blast. Dr. Horrible is one of the latest projects by Joss Whedon, who you may know from Buffy, Angle, and Firefly (one of my favorites).

“Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” is a web based mini series starring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible and Nathan Fillion as his arch nemesis Captain Hammer. You can view Act 1 (of 3) now with the others releasing on July 17th and 19th.

So far this is an excellent light hearted series. I hope this sparks some interest so we see more like this in the future.

Recently I started reading the blog Post Secret. The site describes itself best:

PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people
mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.

Personally, I love how the site gives an unfiltered view to some of the events/aspects of people’s lives. The various postcards range from happy to sad, funny to serious, and moving to terrifying. Each Sunday you get a handful of new secrets to look at. Each postcard is unique with their own secret sprawled across accompanied by a drawing or photo.

Many times these secrets will touch a secret of your own or possibly bring to light a past feeling. The site has brought together such great ideas and art that it is no surprise that you can also purchase a book.

Head over to Post Secret to see the latest entries. One of my recent favorites is the Stoplights card pictured below.

A couple weeks ago I posted about the new Weezer video Pork and Beans. I really liked the video since it brought back memories related to the various internet memes.

This week I stumbled upon a site that has conveniently gathered most of the YouTube videos that influenced the music video. This is a great chance to see some of these for the first time, or even just re-watch them for old times sake.

Twistori is doing something special today for Apple’s WWDC Keynote. They have launched a special page that replaces the original words (love, wish, hate, etc.) with WWDC related words like wwdc, apple, iphone, steve, and keynote.

Twistori has one of the best implementations of the Twitter API and it is neat to see them extend it for events like this.

Garfield Minus Garfield is this great comic in which Garfield has been completely removed. The result is this interesting look at the character Jon Arbuckle.

Removing Garfield creates a more amusing comic with a lonely single male who has a slew of mental disorders.  The site is updated regularly and adds a little humor to each day.

This weeks quick website recommendation is twistori. Twistori gathers data from Twitter that matches one of 6 words: love, hate, think, believe, feel, wish. Select one of the terms and twitter messages containing that term will scroll across the page.

This site does an excellent job of displaying twitter information. It is neat to look at the thoughts associated with the various words. Check out twistori and let me know what you think.

I promise I am working on some new posts, but in the meantime enjoy this website recommendation.

The site is Stuff White People Like. It is this great blog about, none other than, stuff white people like. I find it extremely funny and mostly dead on. The posts are very well written and make some amusing points. Head over to the site and see what you think.
