and by daily i mean...

So, I’ve decided to start blogging my Web findings-of-the-day (on a non-daily basis). At work I’m constantly coming across brilliant sites and interesting news bits that I think I might want to reference later. Most of these get shot to Tybot’s gmail in rapid succession with nothing more than a "so cool!" or other equally descriptive subject line as intro. I think he might appreciate me sharing these a little more constructively.

Today I have two sites that struck my fancy:

The first –- Triangle Battle. The loading page is clever and the interactivity gives the site a novelty value before you even get to the content, which is also good. How could I not be in full support of something that incorporates music, charity and plastic figurines?

The second Web site belongs to this 100% authentic little Mexican joint next door, which I frequent without remorse on a monthly basis. I promise you will not regret clicking every link on the site – the Flash animation is a treat. Follow it up with a vegetarian fajita burrito and now you’re really talking.

My brother-in-law introduced Babetron and myself to succulent plants. They are amazing and we both really like them. We decided to plant some of our very own. Here is a photo:

Hopefully someone can look at the photo and tell me exactly what we just bought. I think one of them is a "jade" plant, but I'm really not sure.

I. AM. IRON MAN.

(Disclaimer: for those of you who are interested in wedding video and photos...they are on their way. This post, however, is pure pop drivel.)

With the Iron Man movie coming out tomorrow, I've been constantly humming Black Sabbath's tune of the same name over and over and over in my head. So when I got to work today I wanted to look up the lyrics so I could actually sing it. To my surprise, the lyrics and song are completely awful. The only really great element to the song is that classic rift performed by Tony Iommi. But as soon as Ozzy steps up to rock the mic, I just want him to stop ruining the great guitar sound.
Now I know Sabbath has some notoriety as being a dark predecessor to modern metal, and Osborn is supposedly some rock legend. But with the exception of War Pigs I can barely sit through anything the man sings.


Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing the movie at some point this weekend. The idea of a post rehab Downey Jr. playing a booze saturated crime fighter is almost too perfect to pass up.
