FOUND

Found Magazine is so fun and intriguing to look at. The website updates daily with a new "find". Found also publishes a book and magazine a few times a year.They are such a treat to see everyday. It is like the twelve days of Christmas but all year long. The "finds" are pieces of life found by others. If you have something "Found" worthy you can upload it to the website and they will post it in the future. Jake found a really funny "How The World Could End" list in his classroom last year while teaching high school in Hawaii. One of the ways was, "myspace gets canceled". Another was "my mom sees my grades." I will find it and post it later this week.

Gizoogle Fo Sho


Since Jake works at Simply Mac he is always coming home with awesome nerdery skills and funny websites. This is by far one of my favorite geek tricks he has brought home. This site is called Gizoogle and it translates web pages into Ebonics or "Snoop Phonics". Here is a sample taken from a recent article from CNN.com about O.J. Simpson and his Las Vegas scandals:
Original Passage:

"But his plan, plotted against the backdrop of a quickie Las Vegas wedding, was suddenly going bad.

There was a gunman impersonating a police officer. Men were screaming at each other. And the prized possessions were being stuffed into pillow cases and cardboard boxes."

Translated Passage:

"But his pliznan, plotted against tha backdrop of a quickie Las Vegas wedd'n, was suddenly going bad.

There was a gunman impersonat'n a po-po gangsta. Men were scream'n at each otha hittin that booty. And tha prized possessions wizzy being shiznited into pillow cases n cardboard boxes."

You can upload any site you want. It is pretty funny. Warning: It may contain some offensive language so be careful.
