Sometimes on Urlesque we unearth old relics of the internet past, ancient pre-Googlonian temples like Altavista or Hotbot. Today we bring you the living fossil, the untouched tribe of the internet, Heather's Animations! Still alive and vital today, yet seemingly untouched by modern technology, Heather's Animations is a treasure trove of animated .gifs and .midis guaranteed to make your ...

Yesterday, Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens, the most senior Republican in the Senate, was indicted on seven counts of lying to Federal investigators. Stevens was an outspoken member of Congress on Net Neutrality, and in solidarity with him, we've reprinted the crux of his famed internet description here (read the entire thing at HuffPo or check out the audio):I just the other day got, an internet was ...

3. An uncle at sea is an uncle at peace with the world around him. Nothing can stop his relentless groove -- for he is master and commander of the beat. [YouTube] 2. A strong challenge is issued in this video; A dad quests for the top dad dance position, and he makes a strong case for his supremacy... [YouTube] 1. ...but he is bested.

The Dad Dance, The Drunk Uncle, The Grandpa Groove... old man dancing is an art form as old as man itself. Whenever a wedding reception runs too long, a bar mitzvah DJ spins "YMCA," a graduation party finds itself in a lull, or a Golden Anniversary of any kind takes place, some older male relative of yours will hit the dance floor to establish how well your family can shake it. But next time ...

You know we're junkies for the web's soundtrack, and a new mixtape from The Hood Internet just hit the tubes that is bound to make your Monday move. They're a pair of DJs who smash up songs (it's always a step above "mash-up," just in the seamlessness of it) usually employing the following formula: Hip-hop or R&B song + Indie Guitar or Electronic Song = Hip-hoppin' at the indie rock show. And ...

We've all read countless words on how technology can democratize information, and how new technologies can democratize old technologies, but rarely does the trend show up as starkly as in a homeless blog (hobolog? digital bindle?). Whatever you want to call it, master_jim2008 in Mount Shasta, CA is making the medium his own. From his about description: 55 yr old, laid off forklift operator, now ...

So rapper Lil Wayne's new album, Tha Carter III, leaked over the weekend (and it's decent, if not as good as Da Drought 3). The internet wasn't about to keep an album originally leaked last year and then made into a separate EP called The Leak from being leaked yet again. In honor of all this leakage, we thought we'd treat you to Weezy's "Wam" dance, which has been thrusting its way around YouTube ...

The internet brings so many special little time-sinks into our lives, but the most procrastinat-y of all might be Wikipedia, the open source encyclopedia that eats time like an educational Kobayashi. But while most of us will aimlessly follow links through the Wikipedia rabbit hole (Peter Jennings to Ayatollah Khomeni to 'The Satanic Verses' to Apostles) there is a less common, but just as ...

This blog needs MORE POWER, so I'm taking you all on a tour of the Baron of Binford, Mr. Tim Allen's Internet space. Let's revisit 1995 using the Tool Man's Internetosphere as our mode of transport and the following five sites as our guides: 1. Home Improvement 'Experiences' Fanfic is always a good place to start. This particular piece is so overwhelmingly earnest and full of terrible dialogue ...

The New York Times recently put out a little exposé on the dangers of blogging. At first glance, this story might seem like a bit of pointless fear-mongering. With the promises of heart attacks and death leaping at your eyes, you may have overlooked this little nugget: ...there is no official diagnosis of death by blogging, and the premature demise of two people obviously does not qualify ...
