So the big internet news this week is that William Shatner has signed on to play the dad in the Twitter-to-TV show series Sh*t My Dad Says. Of course, Shatner is perfect for the role, as he has been perfecting his Twitter-speak for some time now. But with all these Tumblr/Twitter book deals coming out, we were thinking: what other TV series could we make around our favorite meme sites? ...

The other morning I woke up and noticed there were these little itchy bumps on my toes. I guess I could have seen a doctor, but that would take up precious time -- time that could be better spent working on the internet. And then the brilliant thought came to me, as it has come to so many of us: "Why don't I just look up my symptoms online?" Bad call. Here's a play-by-play on how you can turn ...

Yes yes, we all know the dangers of talking to strangers online, especially when our introduction to said strangers is on Chatroulette -- where you press play and immediately get video-conferenced to random people who will look at you for approximately 4 seconds before moving on to the next arbitrarily computer-chosen person. This has led to tons of shenanigans, as one may imagine: high school ...

Meet Todd Graham: In the 80s, Graham and a bunch of friends set about taking old VHS tracks of their favorite childhood cartoons, and overlaying the audio with dialogue from much darker films. This is the genesis of Apocalypse Pooh, which Movie City News recently called both the first and "the most influential" mashup of all time. That's a pretty heavy honor, considering we still don't know who ...

The Hitler meme is one of the most symbolic viral sensations to represent Internet culture: By taking one of the greatest monsters of the 20th century and making him say stupid things, the Hitler meme exemplifies the digital age's credo, "Nothing is sacred, everything is funny." It is, essentially, a troll in video form. But where does the Hitler meme come from? And why is its newest adaptation ...

You ever feel like Hot Topic just doesn't get you anymore? Like the hipster-crafters on Etsy aren't catering to your unique clothing style? Do you do all your shopping online, not because it's cheaper but because that way you don't have to leave the computer, like, ever? Then do we have the items for you! ...

Almost 30 years after the first music video was shown on MTV, you would think musicians would have run out of interesting imagery to create their songs around. I mean, half the time music videos have nothing to do with the songs they're actually about, right? Like what the hell is going on in Foo Fighters' 'Everlong', did anyone ever figure that out? Either way, there are just some things that ...

By now you've probably been asked by your Gmail to join Google Buzz, which is like some weird mashup of Twitter and your Facebook friend feed, except you get e-mail alerts about it and you can't seem to turn it off. Did we really need another social networking feature? Didn't Google's email platform already take away Instant Messenger and turn it into something with a billion more bells and ...

Recently the internet was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, alongside Chinese activists and human rights crusaders Chen Guangcheng, Gao Zhisheng, and Liu Xiaobo. No, this really happened. Hey, it's probably done more for bringing nations together than Barack Obama amIright?! But as we all know, not everything -- or everyone -- on the internet is created equally. And there is one category of ...

I have an intense love for fan fiction, in the most unironic way possible. I was that kid buying up all those 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars' continuation series as a child, and when 'Buffy' came out as a comic book, I bought that too. And yet, just when I thought I had found every dark fan fiction corner of the Internet, I found the self-proclaimed "Saulas": people who pour their heart and soul ...
