“Oregon Trail”…With ZOMBIES!!!

This is too epic not to share. Everyone’s favorite video game from elementary school, Oregon Trail, has been re-mixed into a zombie survival game called Organ Trail. Created by a group of indie developers called The Men Who Wear Many Hats, the Flash-based game (sorry, iPad users) is fairly accurate, fun, and completely addictive. Apparently, […]

50 Movies for 50 States

Redditor subtonix made a map of what movies best represent each of the 50 states. Personally, I would have gone with Sleepless in Seattle for Washington, and Grumpy Old Men for Minnesota, but I agree with most of the choices. I especially love Clerks for New Jersey, and Red Dawn for Colorado (Wolverines!). Do you think your state was […]

Unevolved Brands

Unevolved Brands is a Tumblr blog featuring popular logos that are simplified to circles. It just goes to show that the strongest, most memorable brands can be easily recognized even through basic shapes. However, I was disappointed in myself to realize that I was only able to identify 2/3 of the brands below. How many […]

Captcha Advertisements: Brilliantly Evil

I hate Captcha systems and find them extremely irritating. It’s not only the act of having to type out the characters on screen, but the fact that deciphering some Captcha systems can be immensely difficult makes me feel less of a human somehow. (Because you know, the whole point of having Captcha systems in place is […]

Amazon Mom

I only just heard about Amazon Mom, which is “a free membership program aimed at helping parents and caregivers, from the prenatal days through the toddler years, use Amazon to find all the products their family needs.” Although the special discounts on diapers, wipes, and other recommended products are certainly enticing, what draws me to this […]

The Baby-Sitters Club: Where Are They Now?

I saw this link on my Facebook feed yesterday and I knew I had to share it with my readers (who are obvious Baby-Sitters Club fans). Huffington Post’s The Frenemy writes, “By the time the series ended in 2000, the girls had graduated from middle school at 13. This would make them around 23 now. I decided to […]
