I'm posting mostly over at Quirky Cookery right now, where I play with my food and teach you to have fun with it, too. Come check me out?


My Brand New Brand--Having Trouble Coming Up with a Domain Name?

Having trouble coming up with a site name or just wanna see how many variations a keyword comes up with? My Brand New Brand seems to have it all. If you're interested in the domain part of things, you can also quickly check to see if each name suggestion is available. It's a UK based site, so the price quotes aren't right for many of you readers, but you get the idea. I wish I would've seen this site before because I probably would've used some of the names instead of quirkyjessi. So many choices!! (200 suggestions using the word "quirky"....I never would've been able to decide!)

White Bengal Tigers

Three cute white bengal tiger cubsCute animal picture time!

It's been a while since I've posted a cute picture for no apparent reason at all, so here ya go.

Three 39 days-old white tigers are presented at the Metropolitan Zoo in Santiago, Monday, Feb. 4, 2008. Luna, a captive tiger not pictured, gave birth to two males and one female last Dec. 28, 2007
I have a special connection to white tigers as I've done research on them since I was in elementary school and have always held them close to my heart. I even wrote to the Guinness Book of World Records one year because they listed them as "the most endangered" and I didn't appreciate how they were showing it off like that when it was horrible and didn't include the appropriate facts. To come up with three cubs at once like this is absolutely amazing (and for those of you who know anything about them, yes, I know about the inbreeding and such....just meant that it's really rare for three to pop up like this).

Free Yoplait Kids Yogurt

From a reliable source, here's a link to a coupon for a free package of Yoplait Kids yogurt. I can't guarantee you won't get email junk from them later, but it's a promotional thing and legit (it's through Yoplait themselves...not some third party. Though I'd pass it on for those of you who want to give it a go. There are a few states that aren't eligible, so sorry about that.

Stick People Attack Windows--Who Will Win?

Attack!

Another really fun video and amazingly done. There's no frame-by-frame flipbook here...it's live action stick figures fighting back against Windows and using all its features against it. Pretty cool!

One Skull Each Day



We've all seen the 365 projects by now, whether it's blogging 365 days straight or taking a photo everyday. Well this guy took it one step closer and his theme is to create a new skull everyday, including one from the bedsheets from a hotel he stayed in and another made from a lace. They're not tiny skulls either, as each of those took up a large space. It's kinda cool and the video above is a sneak preview at some of the skulls he's already completed this year.

Mail is as Slow as Snails....Literally!

I've been having tons of issues with the postal service later and this is just confirmation. Mail erally is as slow as snails. Brings new/old meaning to "snail mail."

WARSAW (Reuters) - It's official. Postal delivery is as slow as snails, at least in Poland.

Daily Gazeta Wyborcza said Michal Szybalski calculated that it took 294 hours for the letter to arrive at his home. He also said the distance between his home and the sender was 11.1 kilometers.

Given the distance and the time, the speed of the letter was 0.03775 kilometers per hour. Szybalski calculated that a garden snail travels at around 0.048 kilometers per hour.

Munchlers--Fold Out Animal Lunch Boxes (Bags)


So they're cute, right?! They're called Munchlers and you can get them here. They're really cheap at only 10 bucks for an insulated lunchbag. The part I love most (after the cuteness, of course), is that they flatten out and can act as your plate, too. Adorable for kids, awesome for quirky people who like to have a little fun with their lunch instead of brown-baggin' it! There's also a tiger and a dog not posted, so check those out if the sad panda and bunny don't suit your tastes. Let me know if you get one or have something similar...I'll post about you, too! Hehe.

Wanna Be Lazy at the Office but Not Get in Trouble?


This gal links to a YouTube video that shows some funny tips about how to look busy, but not really 'be' busy. Most of them look like so much work that I might as well just work and get it over with!

The exception to that rule that many of you bloggers/blog readers might appreciate is this site, though. It's a website that will transform any website to look like it's in a Word document! She gives some great screenshots over there with the video, so go check it out.

The YouTube link won't play within the post, so here's the direct link to it.

Windows vs. Mac meets IE vs. Firefox

No, that's not the whole thing. Click here for the comic. Hehe, so awesome! You guys know that I love Firefox anyway, so this made me giggle even more.

(His intro post about it here.)
