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.

Superuseless Superpowers

The newest addition to my list of favorite webcomics. I especially like this one.

Melting Bunny

Such a beautiful yet disturbing video. Poor bunny.

Incredibly slimming down (slightly disgusting pictures)

The pictures speak for themselves. This guy lost a TON of weight. Literally.

Hacking Road Signs

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.

Portal Gun Replica

If you haven’t beaten Portal already, what are you doing on the internet?

Accurate GOP logos

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.

P-P-P-Powerbook!

An Ebay scammer messed with the wrong guy. Hilarious read!

Windows 7 Wordpad Will Open .docx Files

Never worry about incompatibility again. -At least for people with Windows 7.

Honorable Mentions

• Guantanamo detainee who survived torture
• 1GOD1Jesus
• Hangman cheat
• Bush’s secret message to Obama
• Fluorescent bacteria art

As part of my continuing effort to waste time, I present to you… Webology Weekly: Internet Dissection. If you know me at all, you know I live on the internet. I don’t even know how much time I’ve wasted staring at a monitor.  If you’re reading this, I’ve already wasted 10 seconds of your life. Hey, I feel better already. :]

In a nutshell, Webology Weekly will be a weekly digest of the web. All of the coolest, funniest, weirdest, dumbest, and WTFest stuff on the internet smashed into one delicious post. Calm down, it’s not healthy to be that excited. So let’s get started.
