Monkey or Ape?

Silly Song: Monkey

If it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey—even if it has a monkey kind of shape—if it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey! If it doesn’t have a tail it’s not a monkey… it’s an ape.

Have you ever wondered how to tell the difference between the two? Larry the Cucumber comes to our rescue once again in this Silly Song from The Wonderful Wizard of Ha’s:

The kids love listening to WJTL’s Kids’ Cookie Break every Saturday morning, and this song has gotten frequent airplay. Joshua’s been walking around saying “monkey” over and over again. Especially pointing to Jakey, our stuffed gorilla (which is an ape).

Oh, and I guess since this is St. Patrick’s Day (BTW, today I’m wearing red—the anti-green!) I ought to send you off to watch Big Idea’s St. Patrick flannel-graph biography. :)

I’m Matt Mullenweg?

Matt Mullenweg

You are most like Matt Mullenweg!

You are most like Matt Mullenweg. Though you recognize your authority, you do not relish the idea of using your power too aggressively. Instead, you rely on peers a lot. You do participate in the social media world, but it is not something that occupies a lot of time. You most likey devote yourself to projects that you feel passionate about and tend to evangelize those things quite a bit.

Take the Technorati Self-Importance Test and compare your results to mine!

And Aaron, if you’re reading this… you need an easy way for people to “copy the code”! (Just doing my part as a Mullenwegish project evangelist!)

You Got Rap in My Venn Diagrams!

It’s not every day that I stumble upon something with such wide-ranging appeal that it can bring together people with interests as diverse as those held by my brother Nick and Russell Kilbane, a guy from my church.

But today, I have found just such a something. Go, read this analysis and commentary on Mims’ This Is Why I’m Hot. (HT: Seth Godin) This is what music reviews ought to be.

Happy Friday! :D

We’d all like a little global warming, please

JOLLYBLOGGER wants to know how he can help the cause:

I’ve heard all of this stuff about humans cause global warming. Well, let me just say that I’m a little bit disappointed in my fellow humans because it seems to me that, at least here in North America, we are not doing a very good job of causing global warming this year. So, I am here to offer my services to Al Gore – I would like to cause some global warming.

I’m with him. I mean, frost after Easter in Baltimore? Fer cryin’ out loud, that’s just wrong! I’ve been walking in the morning this past week, and I really should be able to leave the house at 7am without a coat. Honestly, that’s not too far-fetched, is it?

Omigosh! I just realized… what if Al Gore has been right all along, and we’ve overcompensated! Al may have just singlehandedly caused the start of the next ice age! NOOOOOOOOOOOOMGPONIES!!!1!!!!11!!
