We're packing up shop here in New York and relocating to Chicago. Posts may be scarce (or non-existent) for a little while until we get ourselves settled in. But don't worry: we promise we'll come back. And we'll miss you the whole damn time.
This isn't much in the way of a video post, but it is a good farewell to home post. See you in Chicago...
The web comic Saturday Morning Breakfast has had me in stitches for days. And there are so many posts I have yet to dig my way to the bottom. Which is good, because otherwise I would be reduced to refreshing the home page all day, praying for more funny. The humor is very dark, sometimes down-right depressing. But it's always hilarious.
Sometimes there are moments in life where you feel you've learned an important lesson and you don't want to forget it. Or maybe you just want to remember forever how and who you were at a certain point.
FutureMe.org let's you write an email to yourself and decide when you'd like it delivered. You can set delivery for anytime between tomorrow and the year 2035. Just make sure you still have the same email address in 27 years.
If you choose to make your letter public, a version of it will be posted on the site for anyone to see. It will include your name but not your email address. Be sure to cruise other people's public letters which range from hilarious to sad and touching. Here's a favorite of mine from the former category:
Hello, futureCraig
Dear FutureMe,
It has always been my fantasy to go back in time and kick my own ass. When you do, please, be gentle and nothing below the belt. I'm sure by now you've learned Karate or something and will easily be able to defeat me. Or will you...
PS. I hope you are continuing to kick a significant amount off ass. Please do not suck.

Face it: puppies are cute. So why not sit back and watch the live streaming feed of a whole pack of them rolling around and sleeping and being fluffy. I know Becky K. over at Meals for Moderns and On Style for Moderns has been glued to it for days.

Way to go Barack!
David Horvitz is offering some very unique goods and services in exchange for various amounts of money. His website came to my attention because it was featured in The Best American Non-Required Reading 2008. I recommend checking that out too.
This week, instead of one video, you get 25!
Head over to People in the Middle for Obama to see video testimonials of republicans, libertarians, independents, and right-leaning Democrats who are voting for Obama this election. The site and the videos have a great, clean design that, along with the music, brings to mind a Mac ad.
Here's something to wet your whistle with.
CNNBC video has a great, personalized video to help you guilt your friends into voting on Tuesday. Use it wisely. See you at the polls!
In light of the economic crisis, one blog is chronicling a mysterious Wall Street phenomenon: Why do stressed out brokers always have their hands on their face?
Funny? Sad? Both?
