CuteWithChris.com. My niece Emma turned me onto this site and I bless her heart every moment I can.

So far I’ve watched 5 episodes of CWC and as far as I can glean, Chris concerns himself with evil Pandas (Not to be confused with regular commenter on DR.com, Evil Panda), a pixie happy talking plastic horse and all your dead dreams. I’m not sure what the demographic is of this site but I can assure you that female teens and over-thirty gay men will love this site, for what I call The SpongeBobbiness of it. It’s innocent, yet camp. It tweaks your “cute” gland and then punches you in the irony gland every so often with Chris’ tag line “All your dreams are dead”.

Go now and watch the holiday episode! It has the best cat barf on an Xmas decoration video ever!

…he made some pretty good cartoons and is arguably the father of The Simpsons. His Johnny Quest is currently the spoof fodder of my favorite cartoon, The Venture Bros.

On the other, for every one good cartoon he made, he made 10 others. Just by adding a baby or a baby dog, a baby alien, or a small alien with a British accent. Or put the whole show in space. Or put the whole show on the road as a rock band. Or both. Or all. Or added a celebrity. Or a celebrity couple. Or the cast from the current hottest show. Or put the cast from the current hottest show or celebrity couple out in space, late for a rock concert.

We know I’m obsessed with iTunes radio, but Lifehacker brought to my attention Pandora. With a fun little interface, Pandora creates a radio station based on keyword searching and offers up a wordy reasoning for their choices. You can create multiple channels too. Fun!

You might know that Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert comics, was suffering from Spasmodic Dysphonia, a disorder that halts the brain’s ability to process speech. Some people flat out can’t talk. Some can yell but can’t speak, some can sing, but can’t talk. He was able to get up on stage and manage public speaking (his “outside voiceâ€?) but unable to talk when he got off stage.

Recently he discovered he could “rewire his brain” (Boingboing calls it a “brain hack“) so that he is able to speak again.

I find this fascinating! When I was a kid, I remember seeing a 60 Minutes special on brain surgery where the patient lay awake under general anesthesia while the doctor poked around. We’ve all seen it. It freaked me out when he asked the boy to count to ten and when he hit “3”, it came out sounding like the noise used in The Matrix when Agents overcome regular people: “threewwaaaaaaaroooooom!” Cool!

I also find synesthesia fascinating. Alan Moore brilliantly created a character who worked as a police investigator who could sense music, colour, feelings etc from a crime scene. I’d love to have this for an hour.

Kids today don’t know how good they have it with entertainment.

They’re more sophistomophocated.

I was asked to change my latest Torontoist article from a request to an “observation”

Here’s the Torontoist article.

Here’s what I originally wrote:

Hey there George Stroupo… George Stoppogrop… George Stroumboulopoulis (lordy, there’s a candidate for taking your partner’s name in marriage), in shocking us with your return to the Ceeb, you proudly boast getting a Prince Albert this summer. What? The L.A. producers didn’t think you were edgy enough? In keeping with journalistic integrity, this Torontoist (and most of the queer community) wants proof! You can’t just ‘say’ you got it done, you have to back up what you say on TV. Especially if it’s the CBC and some of our tax money went into poking holes in Lil’ Georgie. Especially if you’re going to make that awful “I’m a widdle stinka” face at the camera.

Send us a JPG! We promise not to laugh

Does that make me an established writer yet?

I think these are all of them… I think.

I know exactly which one of these hapless Chuck Norrises (Norri?) will make Sharkboy pass milk through his nose. That is, if he’s drinking milk while watching it.
