Welcome to Link Friday. Oh, wait… It’s Tuesday. Ok, ok… So I’m trying to compensate for not blogging for over a week and missing my target date for another Link Friday. You’d think with last Friday being the sixth weekly installment of Link Friday I would have hit the deadline. I wish I had… I had planned to… But, as seems to be the case as of late, life interrupted my blogging hobby. Who knew?! So, without digging myself any deeper into this pit of explanation, here’s Link Friday plus four days…
My first link this week is a rather fun one – and it’s also our video link of the week. This link is to a smartphone and robot that are capable of solving a Rubik’s cube faster than the world champion. If you want to watch more, after the video is finished there are other, larger cubes that this robot can solve too. I really never knew that my smartphone had this much potential:
Our next link leads us to a weird solution to a problem that I don’t think most of us have at home. This link contains instructions on how to tear apart a flat screen monitor to make it so nobody but yourself can view what is on the screen. I really don’t see the point or need for this, but someone thought it would rock and so they gave it a try:
“A long time ago, in a galaxy, far, far, away…” If those words don’t spark some type of emotion, then you must be way too old or too young to even care about our next link. Remember at the end of Episode V how Han Solo was frozen in Carbonite? Well, you guessed it, this link is to an order page to purchase chocolate bars shaped like Han Solo frozen in Carbonite. If you look around, they also have ice cube trays where you can freeze you own ice cubes for hot summer days:
Our next link is one of those stories of the weird. There’s really not much to say except that a hunting dog shot it’s owner in the backside with a shotgun. My only thoughts are, “How do you let a dog get a hold of a shotgun?” and, “How did he hold and fire it without opposable thumbs?” Ok, I know, I know… All of that is explained in the article, but every time I read the headline I picture the dog’s master laying on the ground like a freshly killed animal with the dog standing over him on his hind legs with one paw resting on the body, holding the shotgun and wearing a flannel hunting shirt. Just like the old photos one would see of the mighty hunter standing over a trophy kill. I’ll let you decide if my imagination or the real article is better:
Our final link today is to what I call a feel good story. This is an article about how the town of Vernal has adopted a platoon of Marines in Afghanistan. This time, there really is nothing else to say:
Thanks for tuning into another episode of Link Friday! Uh, Link Friday +4.
