A photoblog devoted to the unhappy faces of the global economic crisis. See also: sad finance faces.
Your face and something else, on Wednesday. Why? Because it’s Wednesday.
Tech Buzz A site devoted to our language, badly translated. From the people who brought you I Can Has Cheezburger, all manner of packaging and signage that has it somehow wong.
Culture Buzz A photo project showing what $5 gets you around the world. In our neighborhood, $5 can get you a Vietnamese sandwich and a Coke, with change left over, or a whole mess of cheap dumplings.
Celebrity Buzz A blog that posts photos of men who look like Zach Braff. My pick: Eugene Mirman. Am I the only one who sees this???
Tech Buzz A blog that posts photos of cats and their owners, with heads switched. Just think of this as the natural logical extension of the phenomenon of ManBabies.

Though there is something far sadder about someone laboring over their angry sign with paint or markers and still spelling ‘john’ incorrectly.
Tech Buzz Intentionally turning up in the background of other people’s photographs with the goal of ruining them now has a name: Photobombing. I do this daily, unintentionally, walking along Canal Street to work, but the art of the photobomber is appearing in the background at just the right moment and with just the right face.
Culture Buzz Ze Frank’s new project is a collection of childhood photographs compared with present day recreations. The addictive website’s amazing collection of submissions range from adorable to pretty creepy.

Culture Buzz That angry/bored/too-cool-to-care look you sport in every family photo from age 12 to 18? That’s so bershon. With its own Flickr pool and a growing meme, the idea of bershon - which is quite possibly totally made-up - is catching on with the masses.
Celebrity Buzz A weird photo meme sweeping the web, mashing up celeb photos with dead presidents. The combination of Ben Stiller and Benjamin Franklin seems to reveal some deep truth about both men.
