Because Halloween Is Just Around The Corner...

What better way to celebrate the Halloween festivities than shooting up bloody brains? Yum yum. The "brain" part is actually Bailey's Irish Cream (hmmm, Baileys...) that has curdled up because of lime juice.

Make your own bloody brain shooters! Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 1/4 oz. strawberry vodka such as Stoli
1/8 oz. Rose’s lime juice
3/4 oz. Bailey’s Irish Cream
Splash of grenadine

Preparation:

Chill vodka for better smoothness. Add vodka and lime juice to a shaker, shake and strain into a shot glass. Using a straw, dip some Bailey’s Irish Cream into the shot. Once you submerge the straw into the Bailey’s put your finger on top of the straw to hold the Bailey’s in the straw. Dip the straw tip into the vodka and slowly release your top finger. The Bailey’s will curdle a little bit due to the lime juice and you should be able to make strands of Bailey’s.

Repeat the straw/Bailey’s process to build a “brain” in the shot glass. Add a splash of grenadine to the concoction to add the ‘blood’ to the mix. Down the hatch as a shot.

Cheap Stress Reliever Is Available Online

Come on...I know you love the sound of popping bubble wrap! It's actually a great stress reliever because it helps you redirect all that work-related stress from your head down to your two thumbs. Pop, pop, pop! Recently, a bubble wrap application for iPhone was developed, making popping available anywhere you go. But not everyone has iPhone (like me, who's majorly dependent on PC-based gadgets), right?


Fret no more! Just bookmark the VIRTUAL BUBBLEWRAP site on your computer and your good for another round of stress-busting during coffee breaks! Click here to visit the site.

Hurray for bubble wrap poppers the world over!

Touchable Holography

I must admit--the Japanese seem to always think two steps ahead of everyone else. While most people are still innovating on current hologram technology, the Japs are putting it to the next level--by letting users feel the 3D images! And they're using Wii sensors and air to help them achieve it.

Don't believe me? Watch the video below:





Now I'm really wondering what's next from here...

Megachurches

Online magazine SLATE has compiled a list of megachurches (and when I say megachurches, I do mean houses of God that could house tens of thousands of people at a time) and put it in a nifty slideshow complete with information about the infrastructures.

The image below is one of the 10 photos included in the slideshow:



Slate says:

The 16,000-seat sanctuary of Lakewood Church in Houston (at right), the nation's largest nondenominational congregation, has padded theater seats instead of wooden pews, a stage instead of an altar, and video projection screens instead of stained-glass windows. Hardly a classic place of worship, although the expansive expression of religious community in this vast space is as impressive, in its way, as any soaring medieval nave.

16,000! It's like a concert crowd! I could hear the roaring of the crowd from where I'm typing.

Life After Advertising In The Age of Recession

I will watch this, I swear. This is an eye-opener. It is estimated that in the advertising industry, over 70,000 people have been laid off due to economic problems. The recession has hit and crippled all industries, and some of the people who are used to working lucrative jobs are now forced to make ends meet doing odd jobs left and right.

Watch the trailer--and see how the people who were then paid to be creative are now applying their creativity in their own lives.

You texted me that last night!

What would you do if you unknowingly sent a message with rather questionable motives/content at the height of your drinking spree, something like this:

If this happened to me, I may just be sending my human-generated error to the Texts From Last Night (TFLN) website!

According to the website:

TFLN was founded in February 2009 by two friends for reasons that may or may not include: the tendency to press send more easily as the night turns to morning, friends social habits, Kwame Kilpatrick, exes, law school, closing down bars and leaving tabs open, general debauchery and/or a common disgust for all the negativity surrounding the "sexting" phenomenon.

Our goal is to create a site that was revealing in nature while concealing the identity of everyone involved. This is why we only ask for an area code to accompany your text messages.
