Hey man, was just browsing the Apple website when I came across a picture of your website on the Safari page. Just thought I’d give you a heads up in case you didn’t know. Anyway, love the site, keep it up!

Sure enough, Doobybrain really is on the Safari page. Very cool! Thanks John!

Find original Flickr photo pages with FlickFindr

When I come across a link to an image on Flickr that is a direct image URL (like this, for example) I consider it a very irresponsible act of internet publishing. I liken it to hot-linking which is already considered a big no-no in respectable circles. To give credit back to the photographers, Jarred Bishop has created FlickFindr, a website that reverse engineers the Flickr image URL to point back to the original Flickr image page (if you’re curious, the image linked previously can be found here).

FlickFindr is certainly a must-have bookmark for me as I seem to come across more and more direct image links on Flickr lately…

Yo dawg I heard you like Macs

Norman sent me this hilarious Yo Dawg image macro that speaks of the over-simplicity of Apple products (like their one button mouse and trackpad). Although now with multi-touch in their trackpads, I don’t think this is such a big deal anymore, but man, it sure was when you had to hold down Control just to get the right-click menu.

Check out the similar posts if you aren’t sure why this meme is funny.

Know Your Meme: YO DAWG

Rocketboom’s Know Your Meme series takes a look at the YO DAWG image macro which originated — like most other image macros — on 4chan.

I haven’t watched every single episode of Pimp My Ride on MTV, but it never occurred to me that Xzibit never actually says “YO DAWG” at all in the show. Haha.

Picture Australia from The National Library of Australia

The National Library of Australia has an online archive of searchable imagery from many libraries and collections throughout Australia. The list of contributors at Picture Australia is long which makes the site an invaluable resource for gathering images of Australia from its earliest days until today!

The image aboveis of the Royal Melbourne Mint which still sits on La Trobe Street and William Street in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. I used to pass by this building all the time going to work and it’s so neat that I can now see a picture of the historic place without any buildings, roads, cars, or people around. Amazing!
