The Leo Strut meme has been around a little while…but only recently has it really come to a head.  In the usual order of things, someone went and started compiling all the Strutting Leo photoshops into one glorious Tumblr account (with the obligatory “FuckYeah” prefix).

FuckYeahStruttingLeo | Bonus: Album Tacos – Album covers with Tacos photoshopped into them.  Because, that’s why. (via)

Ben Huh (CEO of the Cheezburger Network) just publicly announced, via The Daily What, that he would like to take Reddit off of worldwide publisher Condé Nast’s stiff, corporately-handcuffed hands, in a reaction to the Prop 19 debacle I’ve been watching on Reddit all day today.

Full story here.

Update: Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian responds.

Sad Keanu is sad.

The Lightsaber Umbrella was designed for those of you that don’t want to be taken seriously at first glance.

From Dillyeo:

Futuristic black umbrella with LED light-up shaft

Stay dry on your walk to the noodle shop

Push the button to light up the shaft with LEDs

Look both ways and watch out for replicants

Choice of white LED shaft or blue LED shaft

Batteries Included (Uses 3 x LR44 Button Batteries)

Dimensions: 32.5″ long; 41″ opened diameter

You can buy one here, but you should know…it’s not a real lightsaber…even if you really, really believe.

BlurryPeople is a randomizing video-chat site similar to ChatRoulette except the video feed starts out blurry, so the focus is on the conversation.  The image sharpens over time if the conversation continues, so you’re forced to try to get to know the person before you can judge them on their appearance.  It also features a rating system to help filter out blurry dudes yanking their chain on camera.  From Metafilter:

To increase the likelihood of a good match the next time, you are able to rate your chat partner with tags like “too grumpy”, “too ugly”, and “too dumb”. This way, the worst people are filtered away, and the mechanisms to game are gone, leaving you to form relationships with other people under less superficial circumstances.

Or as the guys behind Blurry People say it: strangers you might actually like.

Pretty cool.  There’s a 90-second preview video over at Blurry People.
