Personally this wouldn’t work for me as our community runs deep on the ‘nets, but for those of you unsatisfied with your virtual life, here’s how you kill yourself:

Liberate your newbie friends with a Web2.0 suicide! This machine lets you delete all your energy sucking social-networking profiles, kill your fake virtual friends, and completely do away with your Web2.0 alterego. The machine is just a metaphor for the website which moddr_ is hosting; the belly of the beast where the web2.0 suicide scripts are maintained. Our service currently runs with Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and LinkedIn! Commit NOW!

Here’s a great mashup from Videogum that lets you relive all the stupid videos people have emailed you over the course of 2009.

Megabot, Ep. 1

Spotted this over on the Portal A Interactive blog. This appeals to me on a bunch of levels, most notably the giant robot one. I also thought the video was a fun way of addressing the weird and sometimes not-so-subtle examples of racism that exist in children’s programming. Power Rangers was a little bit after my time, but I thoroughly enjoyed Megabot and will be keeping my ear to the ground on this one!

From yesterday’s Hollywood Reporter:

The People’s Choice Award for best pilot at the fifth annual New York Television Festival went to Al Thompson for “Johnny B. Homeless,” a Web comedy featuring “Saturday Night Live’s” Kenan Thompson that follows a professional couch surfer.
