Joe, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars; and Mattel Speed Racer toys. Apparently there's going to be a total......

A steaming hot pile of our favorite things from around the internets. Phillyist Sarah is always tempting this Phillyist with articles on food blogs about inventive things to do with bacon, but this may be our favorite yet - bacon chocolate chip cookies with maple cinnamon glaze. Imagine Homer Simpson with his held tilted back, his eyes glazed over, and drool dripping out of his mouth, and you will understand our reaction. The first Speed......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. TV Guide has a list of the Top 30 Cult Shows Ever. Most of our favorite TV shows ever ended up on there, so we're pretty pleased. Shaft is in Speed Racer! By which we mean, Richard Roundtree has been cast in the upcoming movie. Sweet.

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you. The site is horribly designed, and the audio quality isn't the best ever, but this internet jukebox that lets you listen to the best of the top 100 via a streaming playlist for each year from 1950 through 1984 ("the golden years of popular music") is pretty cool anyway. (Via Editor Jill, via her grandfather) For those of you who use Valve's Steam......

See the entries here (you......

Some of our favorites: Google's free toilet broadband, Freddy Prinze Jr. as the Riddler, ThinkGeek's new products (via; one of them may become a reality!), and finally, Pimps at Sea, which......

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment. March 24th, 2007 has been declared Shutdown Day. You are challenged to turn off your computer, walk away, and don't turn it on again for an entire 24 hours. Can you handle it?! It sounds like an incredibly freeing little experiment to us - but also an incredibly frightening one! Do you mean we can't even look at our email? What......
