Follow the celebrities on Twitter!

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!

Put bacon on any website, using Bacolicio.us

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!

Do you have an animal hunger for everything bacon, so much so that when faced with the decision of Smoked bacon, Double-Smoked bacon, Lardons, Canadian Bacon or even Pancetta, you freeze up and just end up asking for all of them stuffed in between two pieces of bread? Then you need to keep up to date on what’s going on in the world of pork! Thankfully there’s Bacon Today, the premiere source for all things pork, streaky, smoked, un-smoked or anything other types of greasy, pig-based goodness.

Can you survive The Outbreak?

Nerds — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 21:30:00 +0000

As interactive media becomes more and more innovative, we start to see some pretty impressive projects appearing, such as The Outbreak, a choose-your-own-adventure zombie movie / game / work of art. An impressive interactive journey, The Outbreak takes the viewer into the middle of mysterious outbreak, turning normal humans into blood-craving zombies, scouring the dark and foggy streets for fresh meat. Through interactive cut-points, you become the directory, making life and death decisions for the characters, guiding the story in the way you’d like to it play out.

Highly impressive effort, from what appears to be an amateur team of passionate artists, actors, writers and directors.

Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers

Nerds — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 10:51:41 +0000

I’ve noticed it, have you? Older men, possibly country music fans, aging in a way that they resemble everyone’s favorite gambler, Kenny Rogers. A bit spooky, ok more than a bit spooky, but it gets even weirder when browsing through Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers, a brilliant collection of Rogers-ites created by the visual design magicians Contusion Media (think Tony Hawk, Slim Jim, etc).

Regret something you’ve done? Get over it

Nerds — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 09:22:54 +0000

Of course you regret something, we all do. One of the hardest things in life is trying to get over that deep, dark feeling of regret many of us carry inside. Thanks to some thoughtful artists, developers and social thinkers, it’s even easier now to admit your sins and possibly find a little closure, anonymously.

With Get Over It, you can simply enter your deepest regrets anonymously, sharing them with a mostly sympathetic public, allowing you to reach at least a small amount of closure. Limited to 1000 characters or less, of course.
