XKCD being full of truth again

So my friend ChadLeeezard recently pointed me at this: a brilliantly silly demonstration of different sorting algorithms via folk dance...no really.... I cannot begin to tell you how much this makes me squee.

...thank you, xkcd. (I'm a little behind on my webcomics, so this one has been up since last week.)

...a very clever transform-y owl, with a well-deserved warning from bkleber to not be drinking anything while watching the second half of the video unless the computer screen is spray-proof.

...and I want to shamelessly promote it.

...who adore juvenile fiction and quirky, wonderland-esque worlds, there is much rejoicing - for there is now The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, courtesy of the exquisite word-wielding Catherynne Valente, with chapters to appear on a weekly basis.

Emperor penguin couples are simply adorable.

XKCD-style - hee hee hee

Like larksdream, I tossed a few dollars his way for the huge grin it left on my face.

( A very fun quiz-meme with an Alice in Wonderland theme. Also, it petted my ego and made me feel special with the very first sentence. Now, off with their heads! Or, try to believe in six impossible things before breakfast. Whichever. )

....purloined from blogofstench: Wordle. It's way fun, I swear it.

...and completely making it all voluntary-like, as he did. Yay, meme-age.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your LJ along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they're listening encourage others to engage at meme-age at their own discretion.

1."Day of the Dead" -- Voltaire (Ooky Spooky album - it is full of cheery bounciness and dead things)
2. "Cruel Summer (Blazin' Rhythm Remix)" -- Ace of Base (w00t, 80s)
3. "Whine Up" -- Kat DeLuna featuring Elephant Man (more mainstream, and full of excellent rhythm)
4. "Feel Alright (Bonus Track)" - Sean Paul (again with the mainstream, and again with the excellent rhythm)
5. "Zombie Prostitute" -- Voltaire (Ooky Spooky album - zooooooombies)
6. "Temple of Love" -- Sisters of Mercy (gotta love that lilting female vocal that picks up partway through, plus this one always makes me think of thewronghands, who first introduced me to Sisters of Mercy)
7. "Desert Rose" -- Sting (Haunting and gorgeous)

...try this site. It purports to donate 20 grains of rice for every word you correctly define. (I'll bet it makes great SAT verbal practice, too.)

Because they're lovely fun.

w00t!

This pleases me greatly, for no good reason at all. Yay for the surging popularity of alphanumeric words!
