Kids are crazy, and cute, but mostly crazy, so when you add a wired parent, a camera, YouTube and a crazy kid in one room, you get things like “Kittens inspired by kittens”, one of the oddest YouTube-kid videos I’ve seen in a long, long time. Cue all of the YouTube weirdos making their remixes and premixes and reactions and whatnot, but none will be as adorable as the original, seen below.

A squirrel enjoying his day in sunny Jones, Oklahoma burst into flames when it touched two power lines, subsequently falling to the ground and sparking a fire. The fire burned 5 acres in the area, causing the evacuation of the local elementary school. There were reports of minimal damage as a few trailers near the school burned to the ground and no injuries were reported.

Being huge fans of Twitter and also of the drams, we’re absolutely ecstatic about the launch of Celebwitter! Celebwitter collects verified A, B, C and D-list celebrities who are using Twitter to communicate with their fans and followers, which is becoming more and more of a trend, thankfully!

Celebwitter is tracking several categories, TV and movie stars, authors, musicians (indie and mainstream), sports stars and more, but not weak, PR-driven Twitter accounts, only accounts with celebrities writing their own tweets! Our favorite, Heroes mind-reader, Greg Grunberg!

It’s been around the web a few million times, but we’ve gotten a handful of tips regarding Discovery HD’s beautifully done 3D simulation showing Earth’s destruction by a massive asteroid impact. With soundtrack provided by Pink Floyd, you watch as the impact creates massive destruction, followed by a flowing wall of superheated air and gases which circumvents the globe, roasting most, if not all living things to a crisp. This video should make quite a few 12.21.2012 believers salivate with apocalyptic fervor!

Found over at Flickr, police in Mountain View, California were called in on a report of an abandoned baby in a trash-can behind a Wal-Mart. Apparently upon arrival, it was determined to be a burrito. What!?!!?

I’m a vegan who can appreciate a fine grilled piece of bacon, as you can see from the bacon coffee I posted on below. The messy, greasy, crispy slab of pork…probably one of the most unhealthy looking pieces of fat-covered heaven one can find as a breakfast-side (don’t get me started on country ham). Started by the mischievous and ultra-delicious cnp_studio dudes, you can now deface any website you want with a giant-sized piece of crispy, greasy bacon.

PETA has already been done, now Bunch of Nerds and the Japanese are rumored to be sending over 2.5GB of bacon an hour!

Rest In Piece Mrs. Roddenberry from all of the saddened nerds at Bunch of Nerds.

Majel Barret-Roddenberry passed away Friday, December 18th of leukemia, which she was diagnosed with 6 months ago. Majel was a major part of the Star Trek universe, created by husband Gene Roddenberry, since it’s premier in 1966. Playing acting and voice parts in every major Star Trek series, including the upcoming JJ Abrams film remake in 2009, Mrs. Roddenberry kept the Star Trek world grounded in the original vision of her husband. She will be missed.

The love of coffee runs deep at Bunch of Nerds HQ, as does the love of a good heavy Saturday morning breakfast. Bacon, pancakes, eggs, country ham and toast does a body good, at least for the first few days. Now you can have all of that and more in your morning cup of joe, with Boca Java’s Maple Bacon Breakfast Roast. A light, sweet, savory coffee with a full and complex body….oh, and it tastes like Saturday mornings used to feel!

A genius experiment by Idée Inc., who develops visual search and image recognition technology! By extracting over 10 million Creative Commons images from Flickr and then applying their visual similarity technology, Idée developed an amazing visual image search-engine, allowing you to go through millions of the most interesting photos on Flickr, simply by stating a color.

Awesome! I’ve always had a warm spot in my heart for the number pad, something I’ve had to give up since working on iBook, Power Books and MacBooks for so long. But thanks to Balmuda Software’s brilliant NumberKey app I’ve turned my iPhone into an external number pad on my desk.

Available on the iTunes store, NumberKey creates a wifi connection to your mac via the NumberKey Connect app, which detects your iPhone running and converts it into a number pad. After first-time setup, you don’t even need the wifi network anymore!
