WIGGUM DAILY

 

Unless you’ve ever registered an internet domain name it unlikely you’ve ever come across ICANN. They’re the body charged with overseeing the hand out of internet domain names in the TLD’s of .com, .net, .org etc…  Whenever you register a domain name in one of these TLD’s you pay an ICANN fee as part of the domain registration process. No biggie. It’s not much money. As you’re about to find out.

 

So anyway, I was over at my favourite domain register GoDaddy last week registering a couple of domains and I noticed there was a CREDIT on my account for USD$0.09…   nine whole cents. 

 

    

 

Turns out that there was some changes to the ICANN fees and I got back three cents for each effected domain I have registered.  Now I did think about investment strategies for some time.  I called my broker.  I called Donald Trump.  I called George Bush. They all said the same thing.  "Boy… you’ve got to SPEND money to MAKE money…"  So as you can see, I immediately reinvested the USD$0.09 refund on the purchase of a new domain for a new site I’m working on. 

Thanks GoDaddy.  Thanks ICANN.

You’ve made it all possible…

 

With PC’s becoming more powerful and MUCH cheaper day-by-day, we all face the problem of what to do with the old boat-anchor that takes forever to boot up and even longer to get anything done.  You could just chuck it out on the footpath and let urban-nature take it’s course. Or you could get some creative ideas from todays video.

 

 

You’ve seen RUBE GOLDBERG devices in videos, you’ve seen them in cartoons, and television commercials. Not sure what the heck we’re talking about.  It one of THESE things…  "Ahhh.. those… I’ve seen those.   why didn’t you just SAY that to begin with…"  

 

Well I’m tipping you’ve not seen one like his before…

 

 

The definition of a Rube Goldberg machine is "accomplishing by extremely complex roundabout means what actually or seemingly could be done simply"    Sound like anyone you know ?    

 

Another more specific definition is "A machine or device is any exceedingly complex apparatus that performs a very simple task in a very indirect and convoluted way" 

 

If you happen live near this guy and notice your cat, or first born is missing for several days, suggest you check the intarwebs for the latest Rube Goldberg video.

 

So now we know what happens in movie theatres between session while we’re all standing outside waiting to see the latest greatest box office success "Snakes On A MF Plane" or "Rambo Part VII - Babmbi’s Revenge".

 

 

 

 

            

 

Order Yours Today…

 

 

 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get KEVIN THE SPACE PENGUIN back to his spaceship. It’s never made clear quite WHY Kevin is always getting OUT of his spaceship. That aside this is a fun game that can drive you mad.  Basically you are using a GPS (Giant Penguin Slingshot) to fire Kevin across the vast lonely emptyness of space, back to his ship in the FEWEST number of tries.  You get MORE points the LONGER DISTANCE the journey you take. Sounds confusing. It’s not once you get in there and start flinging Kevin about the universe.

 

                       

 

Very easy in the early stages, it soon gets harder with the addition of planets, whose gravity affect Kevin’s trajectory just like in real space. Also there are BONUS spinny things you can use to get more points

CLICK HERE TO PLAY

 

Remember, you get MORE points the LONGER DISTANCE the journey Kevin takes to get back to his ship. Enjoy.    And don’t forget to post your SCORE in the COMMENTS section. 

 

 

 

It still FRIDAY FUNDAY at WiggumDaily and here’s one of my favourite things on the internet from recent times.  Our MOTD is actually the "rap" from a low budget TV commercial for one of those discount furniture warehouse complex dealy’s.  This is GREAT and worth watching several times.  The song really gets stuck in your head, but it’s not a bad thing. Once you get that beat pattern into your brain, you’ll start talking and thinking things using the same style. 

It’s a beautiful thing.    And I urge you to also learn the Mini-Mall Dance.

It’s FRIDAY FUNDAY and in that spirit here’s a VOTD to help you while getting ready for the upcoming weekend party action.
