A single-serving blog featuring gifs of just three frames from a film. Word of advice to the creators: you might also want to buy seizureparty.com, too. Or at least put up a disclaimer.
Tech Buzz Because sometimes you just need to give something the finger. Like banks, and…orange juice. This blog's got it all.
Movie Buzz In preparation for Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze has started a blog which is being described as “part arts/culture blog, part Wild Things primer, and part newspaper for stuff that makes us psyched.” Uhh, kind of sounds like Buzzfeed?
Culture Buzz Ben Southall got the so-called “Best Blogging Job in the World,” living on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef for 6-months. He'll be living in a oceanfront villa with a pool and views of the surrounding islands with his girlfriend, starting July 1st. Black Hearts Brigade…stone this man (cuz we're jealous!)
Music Buzz Simply enough, a blog that tracks flaming garbage cans in hip hop videos.
Food Buzz While you might have seen the artsy, one-off food blog at Scanwiches and thought to yourself, “hey, what a great idea,” it's apparently just a copy cat! The scanned-sandwich site Scanwich.com, (slogan: where glass and meat meet), has been operating since 2007 and lays claim to the original idea. Blog feud?
Culture Buzz Well, they did it. Coming soon to a Borders near you…This Is Why You're Fat the book. The creators of the Tumblr blog finally got their six-figure book deal, in another blog-to-riches success story.

“The rules are simple: I put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button, and try to get as far from the camera as I can.” Thus creating my new favorite blog. How far can you get in 2 seconds?!
Culture Buzz A comprehensive list of the best and worst people according to the online cultural zeitgeist. Add your own choices! May we suggest Disaster Girl for The Best Person of 2008? Buzzfeed readers might agree!
This Venn diagram explains one of the great mysteries of the Internet. Extra points for whoever can leave the most annoying comment.
A photo blog celebrating the art of the nude Polaroid. Safe to click through, but eventually NSFW if you snoop around enough…you dog.
Tech Buzz The popular mail art confessions website PostSecret saw their MySpace account censored last week after administrators removed postcards, comments, and blocked 10,000 people from viewing their MySpace blog. Looks like MySpace's little censorship secret just got busted!

Satirical conservative blog IowaHawk has been defending Joe the Plumber and mocking snobby upper-class conservatives who endorse Obama. Also, their logo displays a pleasing nonsensicality.
Tech Buzz Nerve ranked the “buzziest” blog posts ever, proving that the inner reaches of Internet clusterf*ckery can find their way into the real world, including Jimmy Kimmel. As Rex Sorgatz says, it’s linkbait. But it’s still rad.
Tech Buzz Editors at Wired are removing the curtains, so to speak, on the whole process of creating a feature article, in a new blog called Storyboard. It’s a profile of a profile. The article in the spotlight, a profile of Charlie Kaufman, takes curious readers through the idea, the pitch, the back-and-forth emails, negotiating talent access, and the shaping of the story. It’s a very candid way to use the web to expose the journalistic process, and a cool risk worth taking by Wired.
Culture Buzz Burning Man’s up-to-the-minute blog from the desert. With the annual desert art orgy kicking off today in Black Rock City, Nevada, the Burning Blog should be fun to watch for info, news, happenings, and more! Never before has blogging been so hot.
Culture Buzz Fascinating daily blog by a nameless inmate currently serving a life sentence in the Texas Penitentiary. He updates the blog daily with the help of a friend on the outside. The way it works is he hand writes and mails 5 posts once a week to a friend outside of the jail. His friend then types out a post for each day that week. You can post comments or e-mail the blog and the friend will mail all of them back to the inmate who can then respond to you through the blog.
Culture Buzz A blog by a 23-year-old, chronicling her abortion. She maintains the site’s not a fake, but came out of a need to document what’s happening, and also because Googling the phrase “abortion blog” resulted in sites that gave her nightmares.
Tech Buzz A blog that captures the widespread misuse of quotation marks. We find the endeavor “irreverently clever.” Just don't quote us.
Tech Buzz A site devoted to the bad party photos of strangers. Plucking images from Flickr, reading through Sorry I Missed Your Party is like going through your camera the morning after and discovering a bunch of photos you A) don’t remember taking, or B) wish you hadn’t taken.
