The Coolest Guy: Nominee 1

'The Coolest Guy' is a quest I have to trawl the web for the coolest people in the world. Many people would think Hollywood is a good location to start looking, or our sports stars, and that is fair enough. However, here at LeBlogMac, we believe that it is those unsung heroes who deserve recognition. People who believe they are cool but haven't achieved appropriate prestige.

Nominee 1: (rumoured to be a pseudonym Nick Parkin uses)

He wins the first nomination for several reasons.
1. The photo would have been enough to get him in, I especially like the addition of sunglasses to the outfit- I had never realised that the 'Dark Side' was so named because they wore sunnies indoors.
2. His wonderful combination of Old Country music with Techno makes him a hit with the ladies.... =cool.
3. I am not religious by any means, but as far as I know, Jesus Christ always was, as he put it "pro-light" i.e. a big supporter of the light-saber making industry. So dedicating the business to Christ makes so much sense that he must be our first nomination for The Coolest Guy.

Chuntometer Widget v1.0.2

Those who know Nick Parkin are aware of his knack of getting sick frequently and in more interesting, exciting ways. You know that he has been overseas and every week obtained a new disease that was previously only found in hamsters (you do the math). You have heard his many stories that begin with "So I decided to eat this dirty curry...". And those who didn't know, now do.

The next step is to download the latest version of the widget (link fixed) I made to make the process of knowing how sick he is at any point in time that little bit easier. All you need to do is download the yahoo widget engine and install it. The widget will do the rest- update you every 30mins with an artist's impression of his latest sickness status, and a description of what he is feeling.

There will be more updates to come- it is a bit ugly at the moment but the engine behind it is working pretty well.

The melodic sounds of.....

The Cat Piano!

Athanasius Kircher first described the cat piano in his landmark 1650 work Musurgia Universalis.

In order to raise the spirits of an Italian prince burdened by the cares of his position, a musician created for him a cat piano. The musician selected cats whose natural voices were at different pitches and arranged them in cages side by side, so that when a key on the piano was depressed, a mechanism drove a sharp spike into the appropriate cat’s tail. The result was a melody of meows that became more vigorous as the cats became more desperate. Who could not help but laugh at such music? Thus was the prince raised from his melancholy.

I reckon this sort of piano would be the best possible medium for The Blue Danube Waltz (lalalalala...lala...lala if you don't know it- It is in 2001: space odyssey or for the more sophisticated of you, on the simpsons when homer's in space eating chips). I can just imagine it now, meow meow meow meow meow.....meow meow.....meow reeeeaaaaaaoooowww (have an extra long spike on one of them... or maybe just an extra crazy cat). Also anything by the Pussy Cat dolls would be nice.

Any other suggestions of music the cat piano should play?

Nintendo

This website is experiencing heavy traffic due to digg.com users, so I'll just add some of the images here. Man, I wish I was cool enough to have a nintendo, my parents wouldn't buy one for me. So I didn't have the device itself, let alone all the accessories- this stuff is awesome!

Puns

Why is it that we enjoy puns so much?

So bad they are hilarious ideas for T-shirts:

1. I KNEAD you (a heart with a slice of bread in it)
2. That's my MANE, don't wear it out (Proud lion)
3. Birds: They wing it!
   

They run the cycle- Initial laugh...wow that's bad...so bad it's funny...i'm laughing again...how bad am i that i laugh at that...wow that's bad...
