Good morning, Internet! You are conspiring to unnerve me today.

Seriously, I have all these link to share, and many of them are just bizarre.

The least disturbing of them is still a little unsettling. This planter senses where the sunlight is and moves your plant around the room to get the best light. Check out those awesome stumpy little steampunk legs, or get a sense of it in action although I suspect the stop-motion means it's currently a non-functional prototype. My inner Jack Baker wants one of these even though I'm fully aware that I don't need or want an actual plant.

Relatedly, someone suggested I needed googly eyes to paste onto my Roomba, and a quick search for Giant Googly Eyes produced a purse made from craft googly eyes. I'm pretty sure I literally recoiled from the screen when that image came up.

(You can find more info about it here, if you are insane and wish to know anything more than PURSE MADE OF CRAFT EYES.)

And then there is the knitwork, which I feel kind of obliged to share now that the Cafe has its own Ravelry group. The brain monster hat is actually pretty awesome, but I can't imagine why anyone would knit the horse's head from The Godfather. Pure morbid cussedness, I suppose.

Finally, fiveforsilver and I got into a discussion of what "implanting the internet in your head" would actually entail, and it resulted in a very short piece of fiction that might get put on the schedule to be novelised once Jack and Ellis is completed.

You are going to own the hugest dog ever. Your cats will be able to stand on his back and get to the tuna snacks. So it's just as well that Mojo is too dumb and Archie is too lazy to figure out the can opener.

Would it surprise you even a tiny bit if I said I didn't own a can opener?

(No, I totally do, I just don't eat tuna anymore because I lived with someone who was allergic--I haven't had peanut butter in years, either, which is weird, because 1. I fucking love peanut butter and 2. I haven't lived with her for two years and 3. we didn't exactly part on the best of terms so wtf. Just habit I guess.)

I don't know anyone who owns an electric can opener anymore -- I mean, really, how many people use canned food that doesn't have a pull-tab top?

I don't eat canned tuna because it is gross and stinky. You should get yourself some peanut butter and rediscover the awesomeness of peanut butter and honey sandwiches.

God, you are so right there are no words for it.

I like when the honey makes the bread all crystallized and crunchy. Mmm.
