-Here’s a list of my daily RSS feeds. These are my essential websites and I figured I’d share the love. :)

Dooce- A personal blog written by a charming and witty lady in Utah. Yep, still reading this one every day.

Ramblings- Another personal blog written by a wild child in Wisconsin. I love her, and you should check out her “Memories” links on the left hand side of her page, she has some amazing and touching life tales!!

PostSecret- Every Sunday they upload postcards sent it with anonymous secrets. An awesome project that is a great portrayal of all the facets of humanity, bad and good.

Penny Arcade- My last link to the video game industry, a web comic. They are hilarious and keep me up to date on the latest game news without having to wade through all the crap on IGN and Gamespot.

Simply Complicated- Yet another personal blog written by a girl in... actually I’m not sure, somewhere in the south. Alabama or Georgia or something. :) Very saucy and raunchy.

Cute Overload- Daily cute pictures of baby animals!! How can you resist?!!

LifeHacker- Geeky how-tos about computers and life in general. LOVE IT!!

Five of my favorite Facebook groups

I won't try to disguise the fact that I love the groups on Facebook. I may not use them for any practical purpose, but I'm all for joining them - that is, if they're funny enough. Here are five of my favorite groups.

5. America vs. Canada - The count to one million

Nothing like a border rivalry in Facebook group form. At the present time, Canada's group is ahead of the U.S.'s group by about a thousand, but I am confident in my countrymen (and women) to put us back on top.

4. I __________ my cell phone, give me your number

There is no link for this group because there are about a million different versions. The story goes, someone did SOMETHING to their old cell phone: lost it, threw up on it, drowned it in the toilet, sold it for drugs, lost it in a bet - who knows. The point is, they have a new phone now and need your number. If they are a good friend, let them have it. If this person is annoying as hell and calls you constantly, thank your lucky stars.

3. If this group reaches _______, I will ________.

No link for this, either, as there are a million versions of this also. Some have noble causes, such as "If this group reaches 100,000, I will donate money to charity". Some are not so noble. Regardless, the premise is this - once a certain amount of users joins the group, the group administrator promises to do something. Usually, if it's something embarrassing, he or she sets the number so ridiculously high that it will never happen.

2. Hey, didn't I know you 15 lbs ago?

I'm really surprised that this group only has 14 members, because it is one of my favorites on Facebook. How many of us don't know someone like that? You knew them in high school, and they were pretty good looking. You run into them two or three years later and, holy hell, what happened to them? The freshman 15, that's what. But usually, it's 15 and then some, causing them to look more like a complete stranger than their former self.

1. I thought you were hot until I saw that cigarette hanging out of your mouth

If you aren't a fan of smoking, this has surely happened to you. You're checking someone out, you're saying to yourself "Hmm, not bad, not bad" and then... they light up a cigarette. Instantly, your dreams are crushed, and the bright future you barely had time to fantasize about is replaced with the smell of smoke. You just shake your head and walk away, never knowing what could have been.

Those are my favorites, folks. You will need a Facebook account to check those groups out, but while you're at it, shoot me a friend request. And if you find some funnier ones that deserve to make my list, leave a comment!

(cue up Homer Simpson voice) Mmm... Molskine. Woo-hoo!

is that hoosteen

My friend Britta ( http://jeweledplatypus.org/ ) immed me about me hating on lifehacker last night and expressed her dismay with how most of the readers are more into aspirational lifestyle porn than "lifehacking".

re: http://lifehacker.com/software/show-us-yours/show-us-your-go-bag-part-iii-294871.php

Jesus Christ.

this is the most marginal tedious form of materialism wtf

Jeweled Platypus is an awesome name for a blog.

oh wau

it is important that i write all of my grocery list on archival quality paper because. why? because i am getting grocery done.

i get confused between fiduciary and emotional investment. i care about things for which i overpay. is important to get things done. moleskine.

Again (as always), I'd like to thank everyone who submitted for providing such detailed explanations of the contents of their bags. We're all about learning from each other here at Lifehacker HQ, so we always appreciate the excellent participation we get from our community.

lifehacker purse-rummage slideshow is making my brain bleed. these people are anus.

do you guys know what "waywt" means? it makes this shit pretty tolerable.

SUP3RFUTURE

"i've been following the moleskine community online..."

i think "show me your go bag"/moleskine hackers still annoy me more than waywt though xp

lol supahfyootchah lol conspicuous douchefoolery

there's something insidiously compulsive about photographing and notating your to-go pack of kleenex and your three colors of imported hi-liters, whereas you could chalk the waywt kids up to the simple stupidity & vanity

also clothes are more fun than pens

also waywt people less likely to be fugly it dimwits

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/how-not-to-suck-at-socializing-dos-donts.html

These people are fucking pathetic.

Also, hey, you guys, I found this Japanese import of OOIOO's COCOCOOOIOO: The Best of Shock City 1997–2001 for like $64. I already have all the stuff on it, except for the remixed track from the Shock City Shockers 2 compilation. Should be god?

you can buy it in japan for $15 and have it shipped for another $5.

Aren't there videos on it or is there a DVD comp also? WgW, I can just YSI u shock city shockers 2.

Also, if anyone sees Boredoms vinyl (except soul discharge basically) sms me.

email these guys:

http://www.jetsetrecords.net/

where's sweetjuicebottlehacker.com?

as much as i like gadgets and shit these people are fuckin bonkers

i mean what do these people actually DO besides blog about how they do what they do??

why are they getting so many emails they need to write 5K word essays on the best way to read your email??

dude when you are as EFFICIENT as they are you have hours left over every day to TELL EVERYONE ELSE HOW TO BE EFFICIENT

CONTROVERSY:

those listening threads are kinda like the noize nerd waywt.

ban me.

Yea, I was thinking about locking them but $300 record dudes accused me of being a nazi so I relented.

yeah don't lock those threads it is the only place ian posts anymore ;_;

I need to find him a computer

http://www.flickr.com/groups/moo/

I am going to make MOO CARD of a picture of MOO CARDS

wht is waywt

what are you wearing today

Dress the part - I don’t find this the most important step, but it does make life a lot easier when you look like you belong somewhere. Now, I don’t mean losing any individuality. I mean don’t go out of your way to look unapproachable.

...

Then again, individuality goes a long way. Be yourself.

SO which is it? Dayum.

Maybe I should email them and ask for a concrete example of these principles

those are not mutually exclusive pieces of advice.

I think this is a good example of human devolution and pathetic dissembly in preparation for machine revolt. these are the fuckers who are going to sell us out to SkyNet in exchange for a lifetime supply of AA batteries, you watch.

Bastards

my "lifehack" is to use my BRANES to REMAMBAR FINGS

OTM. You hafta exercise that shit or you end up getting 'heimers.

lifehacker old folks' home would be a laugh riot

I'll begin work on the pitch during my lunch break.

check out my sweet medical alert hax

bluetooth-enabled pacemaker automatically regulates my blood pressure medication dosage

cool penis hack!!

can't wait until some lifehacker gets a suit tailored and gets all "ZOMG hax0rdashery!!!!!! WONDERFUL boingboingboing"

They'd get a £1,200 bespoke suit and then ruin it by adding a fucking silk Katamari handkerchief.

"officepr0n"??? jesus, talk about digging your own grave.

i came

maybe i should shut up ragging on these fools and just patent up some trivial twee gadgety product and take all their money?? for example i was going to razz on such an idea as LED textile neckties but why give away $$$$ especially if said necktie could display falling tetris blocks?

because you don't really believe in playing pathetic suckers for cash

trust me, I have the same conversation in my head at least twice a week

that is 8080 pretty much. also i don't think i'd want to be remembered as "inventor of the tiny moleskine cufflink" or some nonsense
