I don't have a Flickr account so the last photo is what came up under "don't have one" (along with some pictures that had come up under different searches).

Vox Hunt: Dream Delivery

2008-06-10T15:16:15Z

Show us what you'd most like to see delivered by UPS today.

This:

Burn Notice - Season One

and this:

100

(Although, I haven't ordered either one yet so I doubt that will happen.)

Also, I'm going to love Hulu for ever and ever - they just added full episodes of "The Colbert Report" and "The Daily Show" to their site. :-D (I know they're on the Comedy Central site but I really hated their format.)

Vox Hunt: Workin' Hard

2008-05-15T02:48:41Z

Show us what you're working on right now.
Submitted by yygall.

Current Project 01

The infamous unit plan. And why is it that every time I have to work on one of these 10 page monstrosities, the weather all of a sudden gets really warm and sunny? It happened right about this time two years ago when I wrote my first one and it's doing it again ~~now~~ starting tomorrow. Although (hopefully) this time I won't be forced to strip down to boxers and a tank top to try and stay cool or deal with my computer continually overheating.

Show us something green!

Stpatricks_08

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm wearing my one green (school-appropriate) dress shirt. I hope you all have a great St. Patty's Day, drink lots of stuff (green beer or otherwise), and don't get pinched.

Vox Hunt: I Saw the Sign

2008-03-14T16:06:11Z

Show us a sign.

Traffic

I wish I could say I took this picture but I did see a similar sign the last time I was in England. I think they need to have these in the US.

On a semi-related note: are the damn Culture, Entertainment, Music, etc. QotD's ever going to change again? 'Cause it's been the current ones for almost a week now.

Would you like some manga?

2008-02-26T07:39:36Z

I was getting ready to shut everything down on my computer and I happened to scroll down to the bottom of my Vox and came across an ad for Cliff Notes. Except, it wasn't any ordinary ad for Cliff Notes. It was an ad for Shakespeare: The Manga Edition.

Manga_head

So far they have "Hamlet", "Romeo & Juliet", "Macbeth", and "Julius Caesar" available. I mean, I'm all for getting kids to read but manga? Wow. Wasn't really expecting Shakespeare to show up in that form. Although it kind of makes sense. They're plays that are meant to be watched not read so putting them in comic book/manga form seems like a logical step. And who knows? Maybe they really will get kids more interested in Shakespeare.

My name is...

2008-02-14T20:38:31Z

One of the most awesome shirts ever.

Jitcrunch.aspx

Can be purchased here. If I had the money, I'd probably buy it.

I love their little blurb about the shirt on the main page:

The Ironic Sans blog brings you clothing with a name tag that says, "Hello, my name is John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt." Then when you meet someone wearing the same shirt, you can shout, "Hey! His name is my name, too!"

Da da da da da da da.
