The part I find particularly interesting is his discussion about deprogramming and censorship.

LRR is to Video as  XKCD is to stick figures… well, kinda. Well, not really. But it is some of the best geek humor to grace the flash powered video world, and it hails from Canada’s very own west coast.  It started out as Graham stark and Paul Saunders making silly videos, and has since turned into the geekiest comedy troupe since… well… Monty Python? Were they even trying to be geeky? I’m pretty sure John Cleese has stated he can’t even use a computer… that aside, if you like such geeky things as gaming, or Commodore 64s, Loading Ready Run will probably rock your world… if only for the creative use of pixel fonts on their website.

Without further ado about nothing, here is a segment of their phailtastic fail-news series entitled “the phailhaus”:

Glass factory pwned by foliage

This is moby‘s new favorite website. it’s probably been around for ages, but he just recently discovered it.

Many in the geek community will know of the term “Abandonware”, which refers to software that has been abandoned by its developers, and has essentially become morally neutral to pirate as a result. Artificial Owl, however, is a blog about abandoned manmade physical structures. Buildings… artwork… airplanes… even a sea of ship anchors left in a desert. The imagery on this site is absolutely fascinating. It’s like one of those books you find in someone’s bathroom… you know… the ones that result in someone pounding on the door going “Does it really take 2 hours to go for a shit?!?!?!”
