ROFLCON: Lulz From Afar
If you're like me... then you really need some help, dude. But kidding and warped sense of humor aside, if you're like me then you a) love internet memes, and b) cannot make it to ROFLCON 2008 *ARRGGG*!
Fear not, dear friends, for you needn't An Hero nor sit at home alone in the dark all weekend. Instead, you can sit at home alone on the internet, watching live footage and updates and picture from ROFLCON all weekend!!!1SHIFT How fun?
Sauces include live video from ustream, a flickr pool, twitters, and bright kite. So as not to whore out other's hard work, go to roflcon.org for the links to these delicious little media morsels.
I'll be on most of these services as euicho, on and off over the weekend. If you see me on there, say hi!
Most Epic Rickroll EVAR
On April 4, 2008 many web communities, originating with Fark.com, urged their readers to vote "Never Gonna Give You Up" for the 8th inning sing-along at Shea Stadium for the New York Mets season. The Mets posted a web poll to select a song, and left a blank field for write ins.
On April 7, 2008 the Mets organization announced "Never Gonna Give You Up" as the winner with more than 5 million votes. A run off between six songs will be played at Shea Stadium for the next six games starting with "Never Gonna Give You Up" on April 8, 2008.
On April 8, 2008 Mets and their fans were sucessfully Rick Roll'd during the Middle of the 8th inning. Though there were varying emotions about the song at Shea Stadium, the web communities behind Rick Rolling were shocked that it actually worked if one for that one time and coining this Rick Roll Epic even if it was for only one day.
IIIII Just want to tell you how I’m feelin’
With the rick-roll sweeping the interwobbles, inciting shenanigans and leaving lulz in its wake, I thought I'd school you on its interesting origin!
The rick-roll, like a good 80% of all other hilarious memes on the internet, cometh from teh 4chan.
If you don't know what 4chan is, you're lucky. It is the asshole of the internet. Seriously, don't google it. Don't... I mean it. Okay, if you MUST, read this [NSFW]:.
I’d Hit it
If you've lurked on any image boards in the past you may have come across the "I'd hit it" or "I'd hit it... with a brick!" image macros. I have seen countless ones myself, however none have made me literally LOL like this one. I don't know the author, but enjoy:
Help make blogs more visible
There are by some estimates more than a million weblogs. But most of them get no visibility in search engines. Only a few "A-List" blogs get into the top search engine results for a given topic, while the majority of blogs just don't get noticed. The reason is that the smaller blogs don't have enough links pointing to them. But this posting could solve that. Let's help the smaller blogs get more visibility!
