Quickly Produced on the Web
I’m constantly amazed at how quickly people can produce funny, sometimes high-quality, but always relevant content for the web. Less than a couple days after the Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at President Bush, here’s just a quick sample of things that have popped up on the web…
Macy’s Parade got Rick Rolled
If you’re not familiar with being “Rick Rolled” it’s a prank that’s been going around the Internet for a little while.

Seriously… weather balloons? You’d think with all the technological advances we have nowadays that there would be something [...]
