I know I’m posting a lot of videos, but it’s my blog so deal with it. This time, a one hour long video of stand up comedy by Russell Peters. If you’re not going to watch all of it, then I recommend starting at 31:15 for around 10 minutes.
The Toilet Paper RSS Reader
RSS is a way to consume news from different websites. I use RSS to manage my daily readings of technology, news and blogs. However, even though I do read in the restroom, when I go there I can’t take my RSS updates with me.
That’s why they created the RSStroom Reader, which actually prints your RSS feeds on toilet paper. I wouldn’t buy one of these, but I think it’s pretty cool.

The System Administrator Song
I love Google Video because you can just go in there, find cool videos and watch them on the spot, no hassle. This time I found the system administrator song.

Star Wars Nerds
This movie I got by email really made me laugh. This comedian (I think he appears on Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Show) makes fun of geeks in line to see the new Star Wars movie.
My del.icio.us Bookmarks
I mentioned del.icio.us, the social bookmarking service, before when I talked about tagging, and since then I started using del.icio.us extensively myself. I’m very happy with this service.
Before I used it I didn’t know which bookmarks are “worth” saving and which are not. I used to have a “Temp” bookmarks folder on my computer, but managing it was always a problem (usually I would just forget what I put there). del.icio.us really solves that problem. I just save everything and tag it appropriately. This is even easier now, with the del.icio.us Firefox extension.
Another benefit is, of course, looking at what other people are putting in their bookmarks. This is the social part of del.icio.us.
So… without further ado, my del.icio.us bookmarks (updated every day or two).

USB Missile Launcher
Now, how cool is that? A USB Missile Launcher. Instead of throwing stuff at coworkers or shooting rubber bands now you can launch actual missiles at them.

The Beerbelly Gadget
The Beerbelly is a so-called gadget, which lets you sneak in beer into places where you are usually not allowed to in a container you put under your shirt and looks… well… like a beer belly. Ah… if only I drank beer.
