Danger! Danger! High Voltage!


Just as with You Tube, I've been visiting Flickr for quite a while. I haven't gotten to posting pics of my own, but I've found tons of other pics. I tend to visit photo pools of cute animals (especially tuxedo cats) and photostreams sent to my by friends. The craziest stream I've seen is "30 Ways to Die of Electrocution" (http://www.flickr.com/photos/bre/sets/72157611077138836/), old illustrations from a German book (circa 1930's) called Elektroschutz. The pictures were scanned and presented by Fickr user Bre Pettis, who has a blog here: http://brepettis.com/blog These pics are so bizarre that they're funny, as seen in the above example.

Since we're in Pittsburgh, shouldn't we call it Yinz Tube?

I was a You Tube addict for quite a while before this week. I use it for many reasons such as finding music videos (great for when I'm in an 80's nostalgia mood), tv clips (which are often taken down due to copyright) and humor (such as dramatic readings of bad fanfic). I finally decided on the infamous "Charlie the Unicorn" vid for my embedding. It's just so utterly demented.
