New Yorkers are using e-mail to coordinate huge crowds of people that materialize in public places and suddenly dissipate 10 minutes later. One mob event overtook the fancy-rug department at Macy's:

New Yorkers used e-mail to coordinate a huge, instant gathering of people around a particular rug. Participants were instructed to tell questioning salesmen that they all lived together in a warehouse in Queens, and they were considering purchasing the item for use as a "Love Rug" back at the house. After precisely ten minutes the crowd dissipated.

What a cool ass idea.

Mark invited people to teach him Spanish curse words. The responses flooded in. Waste some time on your eductation today. Reminds me of Jason and Brian's collaboration work. "Una lata de sopa para ti, chica."

The Treo 600 looks like the cell phone I've been waiting for. More and more information.

"Is God Mad at Me Because I'm a Nudist?"

So there's this camp, and the kids are nude... Sounds like something you'd find in Boulder but no worries, it's in Florida.

My parents sent me to Deaf Camp, what's the deal with that? So here's the link, SFW i think: nudity lies ahead

In chatting with Paul about his discovery of Boulder's Chipotle on Pearl Street's "Static Hour" in which margaritas and beers are Buy 1 Get One Free, and the chips, salsa, and guacamole are free, he states, "I'm telling you...I've found Eden, and it's full of guacamole!"

Will Ferrell gave this year's Class Day speech at Harvard. UPDATE: There's video now, too. Ferrell starts about an hour and a half in.

Bush ate it while trying to figure out his Segway HT, proving the addage, "If you make it idiot-proof, somebody will make a better idiot." The Shifted Librarian also provided a transcript of The Late Show's Top Ten: "Top Ten Things Going Through President Bush's Mind At This Moment."

I've got some new roommates, and the twenty-four hour old relationships are already paying dividends. The links below are perfect for UKAZU. Enjoy, and thank James.

• Homestar Runner: Not just Flash silliness, Flash silliness from a guy with TALENT. Creative, well executed, and thoroughly entertaining. There is a lot to explore, but you might start with Strong Bad e-mail.
• Uberzine: James's brother is obviously skilled with a computer, but more importantly, he has a great sense of humor. The site has depth, but the portion first brought to my attention was the "live news haxxes". He sets his VCR and then hits the town to get on TV.
• PIZZACALLS: Same brother's phone number is remarkably close to the central switchboard for Domino's in Ft. Worth, Texas. Rather than dole out "wrong number" to all the fat fingered callers like a put upon chump, he decided to play along with the pizza thing and mess with some people. He's got a CD out, and several of the tracks are up on the web for sampling.
