Operation Global Media Domination: The Sleep-Deprived Situation

Because it is late/early and I have been up for 30 straight hours and I am somewhat punchy (and, you might have noticed, somewhat crabby lately), I am going to do a lightning round of Operation Global Media Domination.

Look at the searches that brought people to my blog! Mother would be so proud:

And, yay, I got in the Vancouver Sun’s Digital Life blog with Fearless City. A couple of times, actually, but I’m too lazy/tired to find the Wordcamp Whistler entry. Oh, here I am; wow, even I am impressed my self-promotional instincts outrank my instinct for sleep right now.

The Decline and Fall in 140 Characters

Have you seen Twitter recently? It ain’t what it used to be, I can tell you that! Not since they let in the Great Unwashed! Why, back in my day we had to type uphill both ways in the snow!

Now, thanks to the magic which is Historical Tweets, you too can enjoy the tweets of some of the greatest historical figures of all time, captured here for posterity’s sake, Twitter’s 3000 tweet archive limit be damned!

Some examples:

Martin Luther King:

Martin Luther King's I have a tweet

Sacagawea:

Sacajawea sez

Harriet Tubman:

Wifi sucks underground

And lastly, some dude from Italy. Now THAT is what you call a flamewar!

That is what you call a flamewar!

Christian Bale the Dance Remix

What could be more perfect? It’s Christian Bale‘s pottymouthed rant from last summer, remixed and set to a bouncy dance beat. Positively Beyonce-worthy! Click and enjoy, but make sure your boss is either not around or stone deaf first!

Borislandia Rising!

BoJo, evil supremacist mastermind or mild mannered toff?Sources reveal that notoriously ambitious, admittedly ruthless international man of mystery recovering journalist Boris Johnson is behind a plot to raise a high-tech man-made island in the middle of the Thames. Whatever his claims that it’s a solution to the Heathrow runway controversy, Borislandia,” as it has been dubbed, is clearly nothing more than the Blond Bombshell‘s answer to your common or garden bad guy’s island lair.

Personal Ephemera has revealed, for the first time, the secret flag and crest of Borislandia, no doubt soon to become familiar to all of us as it flies over progressively more and more of the world, radiating outward from Borislandia, Islington, and his headquarters in the (infamously size queeny and very Bond Villain/Smarter Imagey) Glass Testicle. Note that when the crest is displayed alone the supporters are an overworked PA on the right and an intimidatingly-groomed PR on the left.

Behold. See it here now, see it on your own block later. First they take Mayfair, then they take Berlin!

Borislandia

I knew there was someone he reminded me of…

This explains so much, actually:
