1. Back in Black Here's an interesting story about how a Marvel Comic reader, Randy Schueller, through a contest with a relatively small prize, wrote the basic story which led to the popular black suit which was a main dramtic component of the Spider-man comics for many years and features heavily in the new, blockbuster movie. Schueller doesn't seem very bitter about the situation, but I can't help but feel these are reletively poor business ethics, from a company making millions on stories mainly about the ethics of heroism.

3. Kosbees After his run-in with the lawyers of Bill Cosby because of his Channel 101 series, the House of Cosbys, Jusin Roiland is apparently back at it with his new show on VH1's Acceptable TV. By the way, does anyone watch this show? Admittedly, I don't watch a lot of VH1, but I don't think I've seen a single ad for it anywhere on television.

2. Disappearing Ink Researchers have developed a new type of tattoo ink that can be removed during only one session of laser surgery. Another type of ink just gradually fades away over time. Of course, if you can find a tattoo artist that is willing, you could get a Penn Jillette tattoo of blood.

3. Inkless Pen "A stainless steel pen, 8cm long. However when you unscrew the top, the 'nib' is a solid piece of metal. There is no ink, yet this pen will write on virtually any type of paper."

1. Little Superstar This one video alone justifies every second of programming or coding it took to get Youtube out to the world. No number of pathetic teenage girls dancing "provocatively" to hip-hop music could ever possibly outweigh the awesomeness of this single video. It has helped me to regain my faith in humanity and made me reconsider my belief in god.

2. Halftone The Rasterbator is a nice way to create giant wallsized poster art for your college dorm room.

3. Laser The previously reported DIY Lasik Kit, is just a joke, but this home tattoo removal system seems to be legitimate. Or go with the Ira Glass soap and water removal method.
