In the end, rather than rebuilding my photo gallery (which was hit by spambots last year), I decided to just upload my random photos to
Flickr.
So far, I got the insect and pet albums up, with the rest following later.
Hm, should I have a return of Links of the Moment? Yeah. Why not.
Link-of-a-List of the Moment:
Greg Rutter's Definitive List of The 99 Things You Should Have Already Experienced On The Internet Unless You're a Loser or Old or Something. Now... this is a nice tool to help gauge how much of an internet addict you are.
Before knowing of the existence of the list, I have already seen 66 of the 99 (two-thirds perfectly!) listed.
"What? I can't believe I never heard of this one." :
Techno Viking (captioned)"Oh, this is awesome, glad to know of it.":
Best Wedding Toast Ever (Amy's Song)As for the bonus NSFW links at the bottom, I'm sorry to say I heard of all of them--and actually saw goatse years ago before I knew what the heck it was (I quickly learned a lesson about trusting internet users indiscriminately--now, I just get rick-rolled). There are 3 other "most horrific" and well-known net videos I've heard of as well (I confess to have seen one in which I'm certain had resulted in painful and humiliating death), mostly because I watch reaction videos and like to stay on top of memes.
In fact, from the amount of things I've seen that can't be unseen, I sometimes feel so
old compared to less internet meme savvy friends of the same age. Oh, sure, this makes it easy to get all the references in various media, but every few months I wish my brain has a "Delete this folder?" option.
Edit: Yes, it's pretty ironic that the Link of the Moment commentary is longer than the actual entry.

Wow. Thanks, James! I saw the original short opening years ago, but never the whole thing and those extra production shots were indeed awesome.
Looking at stuff like these make me think that somehow the animation was better back in the days. These days you have flashy digital stuff to help make things look impressive, but sometimes there's just too much animation cheats going on.
