Jellio: Dear Comedy Central, I spend an average amount of time posting useless crap every day,
but I still have some time to do actual work...can you help?

Comedy Central: Dear blogger, try watching the entire first episode of our newest half-hour comedy.

I can see it now. Conference call this morning? Can't, sorry, but I can squeeze you in this afternoon
between Lost and Six Feet Under.

I've already posted about a site that introduces you to your neighbors' names and phone numbers. But the true stalker craves much more.

Find out how much everyone on your block paid for their house with Property Shark.

Separate the left-wing wackos from the right-wing nutjobs and see who gave how much to which candidate in 2004 with Fundrace.

Or, if you're not searching for particulars, type a name into Zabasearch and see what comes up.

I keep forgetting to mention this, but the illustrious world of investigative journalism just welcomed a new member to the club. Hooters Magazine has now launched.

No Deep Throat jokes, please.

We previously featured the excellent 10x10 project that tracks the news visually through photographs posted by news agencies. Now comes Buzztracker, a site that tracks news geographically, and shows “hotspots” around the world of major stories, and how different locations connect to each other. Also available as a Mac OSX widget.

Annoyingly enough, I proposed an idea to a client very similar to this months ago, but they failed to see the value. Pffft.

Looks to me like The Times in London has started to employ journalists from The Onion, because this one is ripped straight from their playbook.

Scientology has been in the news lately, thanks mostly to number one embasador of love (or perhaps best closeted homosexual ever) Tom Cruise. Maverick's not the only one. You may have heard that there's a slew of fabulous people enamored with the philosophy of a late science fiction writer. So what's all the fuss?

My search began with the Cult Awareness Network website, which may or may not sound funny to you unless you saw a 1997 60 minutes story on the subject. You begin to think things are fishy here when a couple of the first links read "Advice from those who've had to deal with 'anti-cult' media articles" and "Lies Behind Bigotry: The “Old” CAN's Secret Files Exposed at Last." Why so defensive? The story 60 minutes revealed was that legal machine of the Church of Scientology's drove the Cult Awareness Network to bankruptcy and acquired them. Apparently The "church" wasn't happy that some of its members were among those being deprogrammed by the CAN.

Saving every blogger's right to call people names, one post at a time.

My thanks to Transbuddha for pointing me to a site that sells Amish clothing online.

Now, at this point we should pause for a moment and reflect on the business model here. A website selling clothing to a community who I believe (and I'm no expert here) refuse to use electricity, phones or computers. Which is kind of like podcasting for the deaf. so unless I'm missing something, I wouldn't bet on the site being around too long.

Nevertheless, I'm actually thinking of getting one of the suits and vests for myself. Nothing says “wired creative” like an Amish outfit.

Guess who was behind the popsicle mess. I don't know why,
but I love when this guy fucks up.

Bringing games into the real world has been a bit of a trend lately. In the last couple of weeks we've seen Tetris and a zombie video game come to life. Now there's a real life Monopoly game happening in London. Sign up and choose a real London cab, equipped with GPS, to be your gamepiece for 24 hours. Buy properties, charge other cabbies rent. The winner gets their mortgage paid for for a year.

Dani made me post this.

Of course, for an authentic Clickity Clack Fetus you will need a cashiers check and my girlfriends dead body.
