I thought this youtube gem was worth sharing… This guy in China taught his fish to swim in synchronization.

It’s amazing to me what police get away with on a regular basis. I understand that they are for the most part trying to make a positive difference, but it is absolutely unacceptable for anyone to do any of the following to any citizen they’ve vow to serve. Amazing that you give someone a gun and they think they are the second coming of Christ. All of these make my blood boil.

These are the Top 10 Top 10 (or Top 9, or Top 40) Lists I saw in 2007. Coming soon, the Top 10 Top 10 Top 10 Lists. And one or two of these may be from 2006 or 2008, but I really don’t care.

10. Oddorama.com did a post titled “10 Top Funny, Odd and/or Interesting Images of 2007“. The images are just as the title said - interesting, funny, and usually odd. This particular one made me chuckle - not only a funny image, but a great FedEx advertisement and a nice burn on UPS. Oddorama.com is all about weird news and the site claims to be “a labor of lust… a cheap trick”.

9. Lifehacker.com’s post called “Top 10 Obscure Google Search Tricks“. Some functions you didn’t know about Google’s search engine, but that will undoubtedly become a necessity in your life. And if they don’t, who cares? Lifehacker.com is everything to do with life… and hacking it.

8. AskMen.com does quite a few Top 10 lists, my favorite being “Top 10: Celebrity Mustaches“. Not only does this Top 10 list include Tom Selleck, but a variety of other superstars in the “celebrity mustache grind”. I wonder if AskMen.com optimized after this post dropped? I mean, “Tom Selleck” is THE most searched phrase in the history of mankind, or any kind. Tom - we love you, but stop doing guest spots on shows like “Boston Legal”. Oh god… I just said I loved Tom Selleck. Damn that mustache!

7. Lifehack.org is a great resource for valuable “Top 10″ lists, this one being my nerdy favorite: “Top 10 Firefox Extensions to Improve Productivity“. All of the extensions are functional, if not very exciting. But hey, the URL fixer seems ready to party - ” URL fixer will replace the common typos you enter when typing a Web site into the URL bar… The auto correct feature of URL fixer is very helpful. “. Whoaaa URL Fixer, pace yourself, you want to be able to stay up all night!

6. Deputy-Dog.com has a couple “Top 10’s” in my “Top 10 Top 10″, this one dealing with the “Top 9 Unique Structures Soon to be Built“. These buildings all seem very “back-to-the-future-esque”, and I love it. After these are all built, I am going to tour the world with the specific intention of visiting each of these monstrosities and spitting off the top of them. Not to hit anyone below, but to say I did. And to be in the Guinness Book of World Records - my ultimate goal in life.

It could be a long day today, I walked in after about 8 days away from the office to almost 3000 new emails in my inbox… Hopefully they’ll be sorted through by mid 2008!

One email I responded to over the break was from the editor of LifeHack.org, a great guy that db clay is doing a promotion with.  Our wallets are stirring up some attention - we’ve had a great holidays and 2008 will be a huge year!

In 2008 we’ll have many new products coming out - more than 30 new wallet designs and a variety of brand new products, including a women’s wallet. Keep your eyes peeled for it them!
