Dude-A-Day: 365 days of hand-drawn comic, superhero and video game dudes. Each and every one of these is fantastic.

Is your toilet stained with lime and other unmentionable substances? Don’t have any industrial grade cleaners on hand? Pour a can of Coke around the edges, let it sit for an hour and ta-da! Clean toilet! Is there anything this cancer-causing, tooth and bone rotting miracle drink can’t do?

The Macworld liveblogging section of MacRumors was hacked this morning by members in the /g/ forum of 4Chan.

Reading through some of the comments, a lot of users weren’t happy with the negative publicity and added attention this will bring the site.

Picasa, Google’s photo sharing/editing/organization program, has arrived for the Mac. I can’t say I’ve had much experience with it, but friends have given it high marks. If you’re not a fan of iPhoto and are looking for an alternative, this may be worth a try.

This and other motivational tidbits can be found at the Daily Reminders tumblr.

The Macworld 2009 Keynote is being liveblogged right now (Tuesday morning). So far Phil Shiller is rambling on about the new iPhoto.

It’s just not the same without Jobs stomping around up on that stage. Here’s hoping they have some kind of surprise, epic entrance for him midway through. Like putting him in a harness and flying him over the audience like a malnourished Peter Pan.

Real-life reenactments of Gary Larson’s Far Side cartoons. The Chicken of Depression is my hands-down favorite so far.

The “Yo Dawg We Heard You Like __ So We Put __ in Your __ So You Can __ While You __” meme is growing out of 4chan and slowly becoming mainstream. There’s even a Tumblr blog dedicated to some of the creations. Personally, I don’t think they’re quite as funny all shoved into one place like that. Better to be enjoyed when they’re in context.

Why is the cost of sending or receiving a text message so high? Senator Kohl of Wisconsin attempted to find the reason, and all he received back from cellular carriers were form letters about pricing plans and skewed numbers on falling revenue.

With a little insight on the infrastructure carriers use to transmit text messages, customers might get a better idea of how royally they’re being ripped off.

WAAPAAHH BAAHHH

He’s got to be kidding around, right? Or does Jeff Spicoli live?

Slow sales in retail means the opposite in the crafts and homemade sector. Listings at Etsy are steadily climbing and chain craft stores like Michael’s are seeing record business.

It’s the age of DIY.

Today seems to be Pet Day on this site.

3 Pugs Head Tilting

Not everyone sees the housing industry collapse and economic recession as a bad thing. With so many foreclosed and abandoned homes, skaters see a gold mine of empty swimming pools to enjoy.

The city of Fresno and other central California places have been hit hard by the crisis, and skaters from around the world are traveling to this smooth cement walled mecca.

Some skateboarders use realty tracking sites like realquest.com and realtor.com to find foreclosed houses with pools, while others trawl through satellite images from Google Earth. On the Web site skateandannoy.com, where skaters trade tips about how to find and drain abandoned pools, one poster wrote about the current economic malaise. “God bless Greenspan,” the post read, “patron saint of pool skatin’.”

Sounds better than using that stagnant water as a breeding ground for West Nile carrying mosquitoes.
