Some big things have been happening lately in my cyberlife. I guess that’s good, because there’s certainly nothing happening in my real life!
WE Magazine for Women has put its first issue online! Its a service of WECAI, Women's ECommerce Association, International™. You can download it on pdf format with this link. See the blurb on the cover about your butt looking big? You might notice that there is a familiar article by yours truly on page 51. Yes! I wrote a magazine article! Its a rewrite of one of my most popular posts, Does My Butt Look Big in This?
A month after I submitted this site, I finally made it to 25Peeps.com. Its a blog popularity contest, with 25 pictures on the front page at a time. I won’t be there forever, so help me out by going to the site, find my picture (I’m the blonde with glasses) and click on it to get back here. Thanks!
And the big news is that I was invited to become a contributing editor at Neatorama! I’ve moved Neatorama from my Blog list to my Affiliates list. Alex has been so nice to me, linking to this site and giving me some publicity, and I hope I can do a good job for him. BTW, he’s also the one in charge at the funny money blog Pennylicious.
I’m slowly collecting pictures of folks wearing my logo, Groucho glasses. If you’ve got a set, send me a photo! (radiofox@gmail.com) If not, look for them in the Halloween costume section of your nearest store. I have some other projects in the works. Tomorrow, look for another co-blogging project with a site you may or may not be familiar with. Also, I submitted Miss Cellania to be deconstructed by professional webdesigner Jason Edelman. He runs a site called Fix My Site where he dispenses free advice to non-geeks like me. If I get a decent review, I’ll tell you about it. Otherwise, you’ll just have to find it for yourself!
Steven Colbert had advice for both parties on how to win the election.
Help Hastert Hide the Perv! This game has no winners and no score, but its still fun, and BONUS the background music is Yakety Sax.
Error message of the week: Technorati.
Huh?
There are blogs, and then there's whatever you just typed in. If it's a blog, we don't know about it. Maybe you made a typo. Or maybe it's a blog that doesn't exist. Maybe you don't exist. (In which case, please ignore this.)
Squirl is a free site for collectors, where you can organize and share your collections and meet other collectors. Its a fairly new site, but its already got collections as broad as Toys and as specific as Northern Irish Hospital Badges. 
You've got to look at Album Covers Battle. It made me laugh! Besides, I’ve got about half of these up in my attic. And no turntable to play them on. Warning: some scenes are yes, violent.
The Secret Letter from Iraq will affect you one way or another.

The diamond industry is already getting rather nervous about the movie Blood Diamond, in theaters this December.
The Whitney Music Box is a musical realization of the motion graphics of John Whitney as described in his book “Digital Harmony”. The dots are arranged to trigger notes on a chromatic scale when they pass the line. The dots are each timed to a different speed, but they synchronize themselves at constant intervals. Its a bit hard to describe, but you’ll love seeing it in action. There are 17 music box variations. You’ll especially enjoy the last one, where YOU control the speed and direction.

This prank is awful. Awful, I say! But awful funny. Don’t let the kids see it, they might get ideas. (Thanks, Karen!)
The Implicit Association Test is something really different and really strange to me. I’m going to have to read up on it, as I am fascinated with this kind of thing. The featured task is called Tiger Woods vs. Jeff Gordon. My results are as I predicted:
Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for Tiger Woods compared to Jeff Gordon. But there is no way I could have deliberately caused a different outcome. Try it yourself!
CONSTITUTION
They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it's worked for over 200 years and we're not using it anymore.
TEN COMMANDMENTS
The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments in a Courthouse! You cannot post "Thou Shalt Not Steal," "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery" and "Thou Shall Not Lie" in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians! It creates a hostile work environment!
The founders of YouTube recorded a message for their users. If you had just sold your project for $1.65 billion, you wouldn’t be able to wipe the smile off your face, either!
Eye candy extraordinaire: The Top 100 Hunks. This is from Yahoo UK, so there may be some names Americans are unfamiliar with, but they are worth a look! Hoo boy, are they!
MAPSU stands for Mothers Against Peeing Standing Up. Its the mothers who end up cleaning upthe mess, you see.
Danny Goldfield is photographing one child from each of the world’s 194 countries, all living in New York City. (via Arbroath)
In the game Picto, you must identify the most recently added symbol to the grid. It starts out easy, but gets hard in a really short time. I got to 21 on the first try.
Meet Rocky, the not-so-great stuntman.
Stephen Berkman Photography. Just plain fascinating. (via EverlastingBlort)
The Virtual Numerologist is game that tells your fortune according to your name (as it appeares on your birth certificate) and birthdate. Mine was surprisingly right on. Infortunately, I couldn’t copy the text. (vis Ursi’s Eso Garden)

FRED
(lifted from Holtie’s House)
A cop stops a car for traveling faster than the posted speed limit. So he asks the man his name.
"Fred," he replies.
"Fred what?" the officer asks.
"Just Fred," the man responds.
The officer is in a good mood and thinks he might just give the fellow a break and write him out a warning instead of a ticket. The officer then presses him for the last name. The man tells him that he used to have a last name but lost it. The officer thinks that he has a nut case on his hands but plays along with it.
"Tell me, Fred, how did you lose your last name?"
The man replies, "It's a long story, so stay with me."
"I was born Fred Dingaling. I know - a funny last name. The kids used to tease me all the time. So I stayed to myself, studied hard, and got good grades. When I got older I realized that I wanted to be a doctor! I went through college, medical school, internship, residency, and finally got my degree, so I was Fred Dingaling, MD."
"After a while I got bored being a doctor, so I decided to go back to school. Dentistry was my dream! Got all the way through
school, got my degree, so then I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS."
"Got bored doing dentistry, so I started fooling around with my assistant and she gave me VD. So now I was Fred Dingaling, MD, DDS, with VD.
Well, the ADA found out about the VD, so they took away my DDS. Then I was Fred Dingaling, MD with VD. Then the AMA found out about the ADA taking away my DDS because of the VD, so they took away my MD leaving me as Fred Dingaling with VD. Then the VD took away my Dingaling, so now I am Just Fred."
The officer walked away in tears, laughing...
And just because you deserve the best, here’s Roundabout
Thought for today: If a motorist cuts you off, just turn the other cheek. Nothing gets the message across like a good mooning.

And thank God for YouTube! :)
Another funny entry Ms C.
Oh, and thanks for the compliment on that Bruce thing I wrote. I'm glad you liked it....I really couldn't tell if it was totally lame or kinda good - lol
Congrats on the newses you released.
And it sucks to be those YouTube guys. If they split the money equally, they both still have hundreds of millions of dollars to go before they are both billionaires.
Saskboy, I see what you mean, but his link is broken, so its untraceable anyway.
Nerdine, thanks! Also thanks to Carlos, Barbara, and Ed for the kind words.
