Five Links You Probably Won't Click On (but you should)

Most of my readers (though I love all three of you, dearly) never click on the links I post here. Nor do they leave comments (too hard), watch videos (too loud) or click through photo slideshows (too much clicking). Have I mentioned that most of you remind me of my father, who, although he can grow cells in petri dishes, does not know how to use the Favorites tab in Internet Explorer? When I was in Florida I set up my mom’s computer to make it easier for her to get to her webmail and he was all “What’s that?! How did you do that?! That is so helpful…” and I was all “You run a huge part of a state university and you have no idea how to do this?” and he was all “Suck it, Megan. I’m a super-genius and I’ve done experiements in zero gravity” and I was all “true.”

But if a few of you decide that you need to do some click-a-lickin’ this weekend, here’s some places you should go:

Auto Tuner – This may only be funny to web designer types, but I watched this thirty times, and laughed so hard each time. The Vimeo (my online video service, my account is here) headquarters office makes these every now and then, and this one is a conversation between a manager and a web designer, where the web designer only responds using an auto tuner. If you’ve ever heard a horrid T-Pain song, (minus the amazing “I’m On A Boat”) you know what I’m talking about. Best part of the video “did I get that CSSSSSSSSSSS right.” Nerd humor is the best. (via Gwen Bell’s Twitter)

Packing Light: New York City Edition – This post by Maggie Mason of Mighty Girl gave me a huge case of clothes envy. Also of style envy. And packing envy. In conclusion, I need to move to San Francisco or New York, where I can find good thrift store purchases and have an H&M within ten minutes.

NYC + KC – Have you all been checking in on our newest project here at Crazybananas? Well, we’re 79 days into this photo experiment, and things are going along quite nicely, except for the fact that Theresa is in NYC (equaling an insane amount of awesome pictures) and I’m in KC (equaling pictures of my dog, my kid and a few flowers). Eh, suburbia. What can you do, right?

Stephmodo – My newest daily dose of inspiration. This site speaks for itself. Design, beauty, Paris? Yes, please.

This Dress – Puh-leeeese someone buy this for me. Or send the link to my husband, and ask him to buy it for me. 76% off, people!!! (Seriously, would one of you send this to Trent….Mothers’ Day is coming up soon…hint)

BONUS LINK – My Birthday Party Wish – Will someone please do this for me? I’ll talk about you nicely and may even break my hug/personal space bubble and plant a big wet one on your cheek!!!!

I clicked! I don’t understand why you are envious of a woman taking self portraits while posing on a hotel room bed because she has no one to take the pictures for her. I’m sure Trent would be willing to take pictures of you posing on a hotel room bed… Oh, did I miss the point?

I also have been keeping up with the KC/NYC project. I am a super clicker! And I scroll through all slideshows. However I don’t do much “watching” just reading. Since I have a sleeping 6week old in my lap I tried since I have the time to kill, but iPhones don’t support the video stream or something… Yes I types this all on my phone.
