MetaFilter

So Nike has this custom shoe thing online and the whole thing seems ridiculous to me. Luckily, I'm not alone, because someone way more witty than I came up with some great custom shoes of their own. I wonder if Nike would actually produce those if you ordered them? I bet the 'Air 3rdworld' shoes could win Nike a truth in advertising award somewhere.

Another unfortunate fashion choice, combined with flash photography, capturing an embarrasing moment. This one's a bit more discreet than the other 'beaver shot' from the limbo contest, so much so that I didn't even notice it until the closeup at the end.

Blink.com is yet another server-side bookmark site. If I remember correctly, the first one I saw was over two years ago. Recently, with the big push towards application service providers, anyone with a script that can be used by multiple users is calling themselves a distributed application company. Hey, MetaFilter can be used by everyone, it's not a weblog, it's an application! Get ready for the IPO!

A company has released a fully web-based spreadsheet program that is utterly amazing. To see it for yourself, go to halfbrain.com and hit the link entitled 'BrainMatter' in the second paragraph in the middle of the page. Incredible.
