If Tina Fey wrote book reviews, they would read like The Literate Chicken. You can stop reading actual books and just stick to reviews when they’re this knee-slappingly funny.

Do you like pink? Gala Darling (yes, that is her real name) really likes pink too. She is Wellington, New Zealand’s raddest daughter and now she lives in NYC with her husband Mike and her dogs, Hank Williams and Dolly. She is the founder of the Radical Self Love Bootcamp, blogs about fashion and makeup and generally makes the world a more sparkly place by being in it.

Bikasailing is a blog about a Norwegian couple who are sailing around the world in a tiny sailboat. But Bika’s Blog isn’t about sailing. Instead you’ll find lyrical postings about places and culture, illustrated with unique and otherwordly photographs.

For my project, A Lomo A Day, I’ll be taking and uploading a new Lomo shot each day until Feb 20, 2012. The Lomos will be taken using my iPhone and Lomo camera and uploaded at the place of inspiration, where possible, to The Daily Lomo website.

Like Christmas and birthdays, Movember comes around once a year. Which means that it’s our one chance to raise as much money as we can while getting away with looking like a dirty Mexican.

This year instead of waiting for people to stumble across a personal Mo space page, a few lads from Sydney have put together a small microsite to track their MOgress. Stop by the site and vote for your favorite MO and if you’re feeling really generous drop a dollar or two in what will be a truly Hair Raising experience.

Ever want to know what your favorite superhero is really like? Ever wondered what was going on in the head of one of your childhood cartoons? The truth is that they think of random stupidity, just like everyone else. The Munchausen Affect has given you a passage to those intimate, personal, and downright silly thoughts.

Ok, so faced with the option of scrawling anything in beautiful flower type on the blank canvas that the Flower Power website presents, we went for something simple. Creative, huh? No. But this website sure is. Imagination required.

WhiteSpac3 is a recently launched arts community website. Instead of meaning a blank space, the suggestive name refers to an important element in the aesthetic composition. In design, the white or negative space is what enables objects to exist due to the contradiction with the positive (non-white) elements. It’s a very appropriate concept for a project that wants to be a free space for Australian creative minds, connecting them with galleries and art lovers.

If you’re an Aussie artist, designer, musician etc, or you know of someone in that space whose work you dig, post about it on our Australian culture site, The Colour.

Karl Kwasny, also known as Monaux, has just embarked on a rather ambitious digital art book project - he’ll be publishing one illustration per week for two years. It’ll be one playful book when he’s done; you might recognise the Australian illustrator’s style from some recently released Insight51 and Mooks tees.

What would you be prepared to do for $5? I mean, really? Would you sell your first born, dance with a stranger? Yeah? Well, now you can prove it. The Fiverr site is ‘the place for people to share things they’re willing to do for $5′. Err, five dollar Skype clarinet lesson, anyone?

The idea behind Blippy is to use the public blackboard that is the burgeoning social media environment to monitor what your friends, and their friends, are spending their hard-earned money on. The Twitter-based platform encourages its members to upload their credit card details so that their online purchases are displayed in real time for all the world — or at least a voyeuristic few — to see.

Got a spare five minutes to kill? Check out the Museum of Modern Celebrity Tweets. Every Tuesday, talented artist Odessa Begay creates a visual representation of a celebrity’s 140-character message, unless, in his words, ‘my hands fall off and my computer explodes’. Simple, really.

The clever folk at Code Organ made a sythesizer that turns webpages into music. Just enter a URL and listen to the sweet, sweet sounds your site produces.

The Melbourne-based Michi Girl daily email is pretty much one of a kind: a beautiful daily email offering a single, quirky fashion find that you can get on your body right now. The service is hand selected by Michi and offers fashion for those in Sydney, Melbourne or a World list, for everywhere else.

No First Date is a blog documenting the correspondence generated by a fake profile of a sexy girl on a dating site. One has to wonder how these dudes don’t see through the prank, but their credulity sure is entertaining.

Bizarre Argentine Record Covers is a blog that compiles just that, stating that ‘this blog shows and shares those albums that are considered bizarre for many reasons: because of their music, the performers, or the artwork. Those albums we will never understand how it is that someone bought them’. Of course, there are outstanding albums, from retro actors such as Rodolfo Bebán, to the legacy of Johny Tolengo, or the rhythms of the Argentine Rick Wakeman, known as Walter and his Organ.

Just when you thought the Internet’s most played-out meme was dead, a new variation on it keeps it going for one more web cycle. Russian LOL cats are actually freaking hilarious, lampooning ridiculously outdated Cold War stereotypes of our Ruskie comrades.

Net Disaster is a fun little web toy that lets you unleash whatever terror on your favorite, unsuspecting website, be it worms, meteors, dinosaurs, or a spray of bullets.

Activists from all walks of life — architects, artists, children, students, skaters, and more — are documented on the Tools for Actions website, aiming to show us how, whether deliberate or not, the tiniest or the biggest project driven by the quietest or loudest voice can trigger radical change in today’s urban centres. It’s an inspiring blog, particularly for those feeling disempowered.
