Well, just when you thought the world’s most popular meme just couldn’t get any better, it goes and mutates in order to better reflect the cultures of Eastern Bloc countries. That’s right commrades, be mindful of the Яolcats. It appears that the days of Glasnost for kitties are still ahead for us.
I found a new meme on Twitter (the coolest social app there is). With twitter, if you want to refer to a particular subject, you can put a # in front of the key word (the same way you can reply to someone by putting @ in front of their user name). Someone’s started a #JTP subject which stands for “Just the Punchline.” What’s funny (sad?) is that I actually recognize quite a few of them.
Not a lot to post here today since I’m working on a big project to post in the next few days. But, if while you’re waiting you’d like to make your ears bleed, you should check out this awesome mashup of David Lee Roth and the new Microsoft Songsmith!–Everyone’s got a song inside! Really, Microsoft? Just stop it.
I don’t think this little ditty has top=notch meme high-fidelity, but I would put even money on it showing up on ytmnd in a few weeks.

There are lots of products out there that might accomplish some silly task like “stress relief” but whose real and primary purpose is humor. The Tiddy Bear more than applies here, it’s actually best in show. But I don’t want to ruin the joke for you, so watch the video and then I’ll say my piece.
I think, by now, anyone who’s digerati has seen Wordle. Wired made a big thing of it a few days ago, visualizing several word clouds revolving around the new iphone. I also just saw a great cloud over at The Big Picture constructed from Ben Bernanke’s presentation to Congress—a great use of Wordle. So I’m just throwing my two cents in, too.
Here’s a cloud constructed from all the tags used here at Banapana:
Here’s just a cloud of the front page of Banapana:
At least with the tag cloud, I’m glad to see that media is the largest word, since that’s what this blog purports to be about!
