Time for the third installment of Weekly Webology! (or should I call it Week-and-a-half-ology?) The past week was pretty hectic in terms of schoolwork. I was supposed to be working on my research paper and graduation project. Luckily for you, I spent the entire week crashing cars in Burnout Paradise and constantly refreshing Reddit. You might call that procrastination, I call it dedication. :/
Hang Drum
This instrument should be a lot more popular. I get mesmerized every time.
Listen to the Hang Drum on Youtube
Samurai Sword Handle Umbrella
An umbrella never looked so badass.

Fences Help You Organize Your Desktop
This is now a must-have tool for me. My desktop has never been so organized.

Escape From City 17
The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve.

Verizon is Good At Math
Verizon thinks 0.002 dollars is equal to 0.002 cents. Unbelievable.

A nice visualization of the new stimulus package.
See it on the Washington Post
Oldies But Goodies
These are some old but really good videos. I’m thinking of making a pure video Weekly Webology for next week.

The Google Van for Google Street View hit a deer. Watch as the tragedy unfold. Poor deer. :(
Here’s the link to the Street View page. (update: Google removed the image)

Nothing much happened in the world this week. Except for, you know, the single most significant day in the past decade, Obama’s inauguration. I’m still having trouble adjusting to hearing good things come out of Washington. In a mere week, Obama has signed the closing of Guantanamo Bay, brought back the Freedom of Information Act, ordered withdrawal from Iraq, and banned lobbyist gifts to executive employees. Change indeed! Follow Obama’s progress with the Obameter. http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/

Moving on… here are the coolest things on the internet this week.
The newest addition to my list of favorite webcomics. I especially like this one.
Such a beautiful yet disturbing video. Poor bunny.
The pictures speak for themselves. This guy lost a TON of weight. Literally.
Atmosfear 1337 teaches you how to hack a road sign. Just so you know, DOTS is the default password. Holding “Control” and “Shift” while entering “DIPY” will reset the password to “DOTS”. Not that I condone such a horrible thing.
If you haven’t beaten Portal already, what are you doing on the internet?
What if the GOP elephant is accurate? Visit the site to see more. Sorry if I’m too biased. I’ve included a poll above to decide the political future of Webology Weekly.
An Ebay scammer messed with the wrong guy. Hilarious read!
Never worry about incompatibility again. -At least for people with Windows 7.
