Throw your shoes at W – George Bush inspired shoe throwing flash games

The George Bush Shoe incident, where and iraqi reporter threw his shoes at George Bush at a press conference, produced a huge number of flash games and animated gifs (yes, people still make those).
Here is a selection of Bush-Shoe games:

Sock and Awe lets you practice your aiming skills without being arrested. The most challenging game of them all. THe site was sold after 4 days for $8000. Why didn’t I think of something like that?
Duck Duck Bush – Lets you throw stuff at George Bush and hear him mumble, Though it’s not a real game with scores etc.
This particular game is more like a mathematical puzzle. You set the angle and strength, and the game calculates if, where and how hard you hit the world’s favorite president.
Ninja bush – Aim your shoes at Bush, but beware, he will fight you back with baseballs.
Bye Bye Bush – In this game, multiple Bushes appear in a 3D grid, and you have to hit them within a time limit.
This game, for a change, lets you play George W, and your objective is to dodge the shoes.
Shoe Bush Worldwide has the nicest graphics and audio, but is not much of a game, because W doesn’t duck or run. Apparently, it’s main purpose is to promote “Shoe Bush” merchandise.
The Bush Game – Another one. Cool generic gimmick, it is easy to hit, and there’s no audio or visible way to know if you hit.

Weird Al Yancovic beware! you’ve got competition now. Devin Reams created a super nerdy song and music video called “It’s Called WordPress“. Enjoy!

An Idea for a WP plugin

This is weird, but here it goes: I’ve noticed that every time a blogger doesn’t have anything to post, or is too busy to post, they leave this everything-but-nothing/to-busy-to-post message. A wordpress plugin that would kick in and do the job if the blog was not updated in a a few days, with one of those too-busy-to-post messages would be really cool.
Anyways, I’ll leave it to someone else, because I’m too busy right now (working on some really cool projects, more info to come l8tr)

I just discovered this yesterday, It’s amazing!
Based on the music genome project, which is designed to catalog all music and find related music, is a free personal internet radio service. Just start a new station by adding one artist or song, and pandora will let you listen online to related music. With the nice and clean pandora interface you can adjust the volume and settings as well as view the song playing and the previously played songs, and give them a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, so that pandora can get a better idea about your musical preferences. The more artists you add to your station, and the more you rate the music, the music selection becomes more and more to your taste, providing a cool way to hear new music you’ll like.
