What's going on in NYC
Always curious if shooting, suspicious packages and the link are nearby?
Then this site is for you: http://gothamist.com/labs/map
I really recommending check the site out- it's a news blog for NYC that updates you on the latest happenings like:
The infamous Banksy is in-town!
And he has opened a pet store...
"Lest the hours on the store's business cards fool you, it's actually open from 10am - midnight (not the printed time of 12pm) through October 31st at 89 7th Ave. South (btwn Jekyll and Hyde and Sushi Samba)."
They say the rewind button is a little worn...
Check out the rest of the gallery here
Just to polish this post off...
Wall street really needs some relief...

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Now that we've almost hit rock bottom... perhaps something will change.

And the National Debt Clock is now too small...
Solution?

Mail Goggles
I don't mind being an adamant Google fan, simply because they are one of the few organizations that not only does great work, but does fun work. Mail Goggles is one such example of Google implementing a functional, and fun, idea into their existing product.
The concept of Mail Goggles is mind-numblying simplistic: you can set your GMail account to give you a small test to see if you are 'awake enough' (as Google puts it) to send out an e-mail. After answering a few simple math questions, your letter will be sent. If, however, you have pounded back one too many, you'll be rather out of luck.
Don't worry if you hate the idea of always having to prove your sobriety when you send an e-mail: you can set Mail Goggle to activate on certain days at a specific time period.
Off the top of my head I can think of a few people who should this installed. Not me, of course. I never send drunken e-mails. (Except for two weeks ago -- however the bar had a computer in it! What am I supposed to do?)

My Little Ponies...revisited
I found these awesome pieces of artistic genius while blog-surfing. Just goes to further my opinion that deviantART is one of the greatest sites on the internet and restores my faith in humanity...ok, maybe just a little.

Duh most fun, random apps eva, Sheeit!
Check out this guy's site. It's pretty cool. Steven DeGraeve just built all these random, little apps that prove to be most amusing. Like his page translator, where you can translate a page to ebonics, valleygirl, simple hax0r, and others (even Smurf. Oh my god!). He's also got other fun little things, such as Invent-a-Word, IMG2TXT, and a cool little biorhythm calculator thing (I'm gonna have a rough day in about a week and a half...just warning all of you).
How are you gentlemen!
(did an image search for random and found this so i put it up)

Enjoy Commercials!
The Japanese Advertising and Mass Media Council has decided to start a campaign to recognize commercials and the role they play in our day to day lives.
While the content of the site is entirely in Japanese, the main page allows you to see two of the current TV spots in the campaign called 'Enjoy Commercials!'. No point in worrying about the language barrier -- they are rather straight forward (or as straight forward as Japanese commercials can be).
So far the campaign has been comprised of these two commercials and the creation of 'Advertising Day' (August 28th) with more promised to follow. Already the site has a rather extensive history of advertising within each decade.
The fact that the commercial managed to get some rather big names is a bit of a surprise. I'm sure that something along the lines of this campaign in the States would be met with, at the very least, some angry letters.
Koma-saru: The campaign's obligatory cute mascot. His name is a bit of a pun (saru means monkey. The name sounds rather like 'commercial'.)
