The Art of Word Creation

Someone has taken it to the next step. "Vabtose" now has an entry in the Urban Dictionary.

I wonder when it will show up in Wikipedia. :-)

If you like learning new words, "vabtose" is a very good one to learn.

No, I don't know what it means.  But if Google knows about it, it must be a word, right?

Something for Everyone

Sound & Vision Magazine's list of 30 "iconic" singers that would never make it on American Idol:
http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/features/3147/30-iconic-voices-american-idol-would-hate.html

What's especially cool is the range of voices and eras, and that there's a full song video for each.   The Sammy Davis Jr. impressions probably won't register for most viewers, but the talent is still clear. (Hint: watch the Louis Armstrong clip first. :-))

And in related news, yet another don't-judge-by-first-impressions contestant on the British version who totally blew away the crowd and the judges:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY

Yes, that's over 7 million views and she deserves every one of them.  You go, girl!  ^_^

Absolutely. No question. Okay, well, really high up there.

Click to play. You can pull and push the sizes of the arrowed rings to change the magnitude of effect on the streams. The streams make music as they fill up the grids. I've not gotten past level 6 because I'm having too much fun playing with the tones, changing which grids get filled and how quickly.

(Thank you, [info]joedecker! ^_^)

Sweet & Salty

A longish (16 minutes: short film) video that had me smiling. Sweet but not sticky, sentimental but not totally predictable, and very well acted. (snarfed off [info]merovingian's friends list, from someone who'd copied it from someone else)

A shorter video that had me laughing out loud. :-) (thanks, [info]jkarabella!)

Cool Charts

Found by [info]hungrytiger.

Charts that show vote by population and breakdown of voting, not just electoral votes.

Note, they did make assumptions for some states and counties that are still not yet officially called.

Link that should be shared, because "turning the economic crisis into one of those clever internet memes" is pretty much all that most of us can do about it.
