Guinness World Record - Most SMS / Month. Advantage Airtel Unlimited SMS Mobile Phone Plan
Deepak Sharma went on record with the Guinness Book for having sent the most SMS messages in a single month: 182,689. We’re not sure if that’s total, or unique messages, but if you’d like us to break that down for you, that’s about 6,100 messages a day, 253 an hour, 4.2 a minute, or a new one every 14 seconds or so.

Podcasting is a Bad Idea
Podcasting, the practice of distributing recorded audio over the internet, almost like home-made radio, is quickly gaining popularity. It’s being hyped as the Next Big Thing by bloggers and grassroot journalists all over the (industrialized) world. However, yours truly is not impressed.

Oh those crazy japs
and their fetish for boobs and pudding

Worldometers
Kinda like the car dashboard for the whole fuckin world

Itch U Can’t Skratch
The gay man-straight man indie dance duo from Scandinavia is back with this Denmark-only single. Awesome beat.

Conversate
Conversate lets you create instant online discussion spaces. It’s simpler, faster, more polite, and less annoying than group emails. I’m sure this would be really useful for paedophile hunting packs.

My Hot Mom
It’s tough having a hot mom.

Make Poverty History
Every single day, 30,000 children are dying as a result of extreme poverty. This year, 2005, we finally have the resources, knowledge and opportunity to end this shameful situation.

METROID MANGA
Nintendo’s Japanese Metroid site is home to a Metroid E-Manga. What’s an E-Manga? A manga that’s done in Flash, and includes sound effects, music, and minimal animation. They’re cool, but require hellishly long loading times and are all but inaccessable to anyone without DSL or Cable. Thus, to accomidate those in need, I screencaptured each page and uploaded the stills.

A Ninja Pays Half My Rent
Finally, the perfect roommate — he’s neat, he’s quiet, and he can kill someone with his bare hands. When your roommate dies from an allergic reaction to fruit and the rent is due and you don’t have the cash to cover it, there’s no time to mess around picking a new roommate. So it goes that our hero in this short comes to share his home with a ninja.

Food’s Icons
Nice icons, free too!

I actually agree that Podcasting is not efficient but that doesn’t make it a bad idea. It allows for different sensory-psyche experience that reading static text and seeing images on a page doesn’t facilitate. Through a podcast, you get to know the personality (and perhaps other otherwise non-salient qualities) of the person a heck of a lot more by default.

ouch. fingers cramped from too much smsing like that.

I bought the pudding before. Tasted very ‘milky’. Some came with honey…Yum Yum!

I hope that I’ll be one of the hot moms that L’s friends like hahahaha, like in American Pie
