Jumping right into the PMOG missions I took this week, here’s the goods–

Religulous vs. Expelled

The friendly atheist blog has an article from the Orlando Sentinel comparing Ben Stein’s Expelled to Bill Maher’s Religulous.  A while back I shared my opinion on the Ben Stein film produced to discredit the idea of evolution.   I have yet to see Expelled or Religulous, but I hope to see both.  The article comparing  the films was very interesting and I found it thanks to a mission by deixado leading me to the friendlyatheist.com

OVGuide

Thanks to PMOG user clicktok, I’ve got a new place to search for TV shows & movies online.  OVGuide is a site that allows users to search for video content from over 1600 sites.  I am looking forward to catching up with some bad TV there.

Totem Destroyer

I could have posted this volume of PMOG Link Monday much sooner, but I spent an hour playing Totem Destroyer.  If you lose track of what day it is because you are having so much fun, blame gbelste not me.  I am warning you that it is addictingly fun.

A Fair(y) Use Tale

Finally, I took a mission on copyright law to see what sort of resources were presented by the PMOG user.  It was mostly sites that I already seen, but another user, allyson posted this video link in the comments:

I thought they used a great concept  to discuss copyright.

Volume 14 brings you some music and some cynicism.

Songza

cuziam‘s mission introduced me to this music site.  Search for that song you were thinking about and listen to it.  What is truly refreshing about the site, is that you can do exactly as I described by clicking the link.  In other words, the site doesn’t force you to give an email address or sign up for membership.

Music Mesh

I’ve found several sites with a similar interface to Music Mesh.  Some search engines have sprouted up utilizing this idea, but this is the first one that I have seen for music.  Basically, you find an album you like and a fancy visual interface shows you other albums by the artist(s) and similar albums.  Another find from cuziam.

 The Devil’s Dictionary

chthonic‘s mission was a clever tour of sites guided by The Devil’s Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce.  While this wasn’t a link in chthonic‘s mission, I thought I’d share an indexed version of the Dictionary.  I believe it was published in 1911, but his definitions certainly ring true today.  Check out some of these new definitions:

PATRIOT, n. One to whom the interests of a part seem superior to those of the whole. The dupe of statesmen and the tool of conquerors.

CORPORATION, n. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.

VOTE, n. The instrument and symbol of a freeman’s power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country.

LOVE, n. A temporary insanity curable by marriage…

A Guid to Life

Things They Don’t Tell You(But Should) is a virus comix that I thought was awesome.  PMOG user monagamie dropped this one on me, check it out, hilarious and true.
