Tech: Like Road Rules for hackers: Meet the Startup Bus

  • We personally hope their startups are all highway-boredom-related. That’d be funny. source

Offbeat: New Yorkers once again prove that any crappy apartment will do

This Brooklyn apartment looks kinda nice until you realize it’s 178 square feet. And at $944 a month, it’s probably the best apartment you can get for the price. source

Offbeat: These guys have too many T-shirts, too much time on their hands

  • These guys have 222 T-shirts, and two days. They also have a stupidly clever idea on their hands. They probably need to get outside more often, but let’s laugh at them while they’re still inside! We won’t spoil the best parts of the video.

Culture: The Muppets will make us feel better on a dumpy snowed-in day

  • This spot-on satire of YouTube comments and Diggs is pretty awesome, and it shows the Muppets to be very much “with it” regarding social media. Poor Beaker.

U.S.: Unfortunate ad alert: “Every Day is a Snowday” next to D.C. snow

  • Nothing against Wintergreen Resort, but now is not the time to tell us that every day is a snowday, OK guys? All we want to do is escape from this winter, yet this resort thinks we want to replace one version of winter with another, more-professionally-done kind. We don’t care how nice the skiing is. We just want it to end, OK guys? This ad gives us snow rage. source

Offbeat: D.C. is getting more snow. God hates us. We like this video.

  • This video is like a 30-second explanation of our lives. First, when the teddy bear was a little covered, it was fun. Then the snow kept coming. Now we’re just annoyed.

Music: Real headline: “Lil Wayne Sentencing Delayed Due To Dental Surgery”

  • I don’t want this to get pushed back anymore. This is the last adjournment.
  • Judge Charles H. Solomon • Regarding the delay of Lil’ Wayne’s sentencing due to dental surgery this weekend. His tooth is cracked. So he remains out of jail until March 2. Most awesome excuse ever. source

Politics: Andy Samberg as Rahm Emanuel > Fred Armisen as Obama

  • “Poke me again and I will write #@*& on your wall so obscene, your computer will cry!” This clip from SNL over the weekend has been getting lots of buzz for Andy Samberg’s reportedly pitch-perfect parody of Rahm Emanuel. And the completely awesome, buzz-defusing quips against Sarah Palin.

Offbeat: Some guy with 600 cups builds a fort, quickly destroys it

  • He spent ten hours on this, if you can believe it. We usually avoid YouTube celebrities when posting videos because they’re usually incredibly lame (we’re looking at you, SHAYTARDS), and this guy is pretty lame, too, but anyone who spends a really long time assembling cups like this deserves love from us.

U.S.: The 2010 D.C. Snowpocalypse, as brought to you by Flickr

  • Well, that’s a little bit of snow, eh? The Snowpocalypse is mostly over at this point, but the photos do an amazing job of telling how wide-ranging one of the craziest storms D.C. has ever gotten really is. If you live in the city proper (or in a handful of outlying areas like Arlington), by the way, it was actually kinda fun, because the Metro was still running underground, which meant that you could get to some of the snowball fights shown here. source
