So, one of my favorite comedians, Kyle Cease, is having a course where they teach standup comedy to new and aspiring… um, comedians. Make no mistake about it, I NEVER want to be a comedian. Ever.

But I would like to go hang with Kyle and the rest of the folks and just experience what is going on there? Who knows? I might even do some stupid shit and give a few comedians some free material. One can never tell.

Anyway, Kyle asked people to answer a few questions so that he could choose to give one person a free pass to bootcamp. And I decided to answer just for fun! But since there are like 100+ entries (plus who knows if mine actually gets approved!) I figured I’d share my submission here for you guys to tell me how I did. :-)

Before I switched to Mac, I used to love to use NetStumbler for Windows. It is a tool that allows you to find any WiFi network and learn a lot about them. This tool even lets you make note of GPS coordinates and do a little thing that people like to call WarDriving. Not that I would know anything about that.

Problem is, there is no NetStumbler for Mac. However! After a lot of searching I came up with a couple of cool alternatives:

You say you’ve got a smokin’ hot girlfriend who is also a bit of an exhibitionist? Well, have we got the perfect birthday gift for her! One that will leave her in her birthday suit!

From SpikeTV (more here):

A German company has invented a marvelous new bikini that disappears once a girl puts it on and takes a swim.

The sexy swimsuit disappears by dissolving in water, leaving a woman completely nude and embarrassed. The sexy black swimsuit looks like a real bikini, feels like a real bikini and fits like a real bikini. The only difference is it’s made from a material that completely melts away after a few seconds in water.

Named the “Get Naked Bikini,” the item is being marketed as the ultimate form of revenge for recently-dumped dudes. The bikini has upset women’s rights groups, with one campaigner, Rosmarie Zapfl, saying, “It is an absolute insult to women that this has been invented.”

Here is the latest cartoon from Colby Jones. If only life were this convenient… Enjoy!

Folks, just until the end of the day tomorrow (Valentine’s Day… you DID remember, didn’t you?) Amazon is giving away Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get it On for free. Yep. I tried it myself, and it worked. So feel free to follow this banner link to get it.

But you really need to do it within the next 36 hours or the jig is up. It took me literally about 10 seconds to download the song and I’m listening to it right now.

I was watching a show on PBS tonight and it was all about the massive Smithsonian Zoo. This is the national Zoo for the US, and they take care of hundreds of species of animals – many of which are endangered and near extinction.

During the show they got to talking about pandas and they mentioned that you can watch the pandas live on the Panda Cam any time you feel like it! They have about 40 different cameras all over the panda habitat, so I figured I would share this little tidbit with you guys.

Ok, there has been a lot of bad financial news lately, and it can be a real downer and a non-productive waste of time to worry about it. Instead, I would like to focus on some organizations who are using their power for AWESOME and who demonstrate that the power to do good is stronger than the power to do bad. (Keeping in mind that not all charities are good.)

When we focus on what is most important we can make a real difference, so to get us started, here is a little video to put things in perspective. For any of you who have not yet seen it, it starts sad and then makes you truly grateful for what you have by demonstrating the power we really do have over the world around us.

This is pretty cool. I’ve really got no idea who or what this site is, but there was an article published called “NxE’s Fifty Most Influential ‘Female’ Bloggers” and three of my friends, Cali Lewis, Liz Strauss and Lorelle VanFossen, were included.

I’m proud of all of them, and would encourage everyone to pay close attention to these ladies – each of which clearly matter far more than me, so what the heck are you doing still reading this?

Someone pointed me in the direction of TweetScan, which is a tool that searches the popular micro-blogging site Twitter.

Specifically they wanted me to see the incredible number of Twitter posts going on about Woopra.

I was blown away. Hard to believe that just about every hour of every day someone is talking about Woopra on Twitter. Fantastic!

I’ve got quite a smorgasborg of random links for you guys today. Hope you enjoy!
