Website of the Day: Totally Looks Like
Ever think someone totally looks like, well, something not quite human? Totally Looks Like is a website with one goal in mind: To suss out these comparisons.
Brought to you by the same goof troop that brought us I Can Has Cheezburger's Lolcats, they also brought it; with the same take-no-prisoners humor, Totally Looks Like is wickedly funny, and as unflattering and wrong as some comparisons might be, I bet you'd still have to suppress the giggles.

Would You Pay $34 For Gloves With Missing Fingers?
The price seems a little steep, but at $34, these Etre Touchy Gloves do solve a basic problem: using your iPhone, iPod, computer, or other touch-screen device while wearing gloves. Most gadgets won't respond to a woolly glove, only bare skin. In theory, I like these.
Create Your Own Photo Planets With the Polar Panorama Effect
I stumbled upon this great blog post, which shows examples of panoramic photos that have been altered in Photoshop to create your own little planets (like the one shown here), and got lost inside the 50 examples they provided for this fun and unique effect. I'm all about learning new ways to have fun with my photo library, so naturally I added this to my editing experimentation to-do list. Plus, the effect totally reminds me of the planets from Super Mario Galaxy, and you all know how much I adore that game.
Website of the Day: Ruba
There's nothing worse than being pumped for a vacation, then arriving to find your digs/guided tour/planned activities aren't as awesome as advertised. Unfortunately for some, this could totally shatter your dreams of an ideal vacay. So next time, do some extra research on a site like Ruba.
Find a Face Area Rug: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?
Why do I like this Find a Face ($180) rug? Cause it reminds me of those fancy found object robots from Gordon Bennett I showed you last year. Yes, I'm still thinking about them.
Tyrant Clock: Your Friends Will Hate You If You Hit Snooze
Although it would be totally satisfying to shoot your alarm clock with a laser gun to get it to turn off (like the one I featured a while back), I don't think it will actually get me out of bed. What will? Angry, angry friends, relatives and co-workers.
Geek Tip: Report Shady Twitter Accounts to @spam
Isn't it a total disappointment when you net a new Twitter follower, but when you go look at their page to see if they're worth following back, there's just bot-like messages and a creepy profile pic?
Spam followers bum you out, but you don't have to just sit back and do nothing. User Nanimo commented on last week's post about blocking unwanted Twitter followers with a great tip: next time you suspect a Twitter user is a spammer, tweet their handle to @spam, Twitter's spam watcher.
Testing Out the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach
In my opinion, achieving a sense of general well-being includes three vital components: incorporating a balanced and nutritious diet into your lifestyle, getting regular exercise, and getting enough sleep. Not surprisingly, most people are lacking in one or all of these areas, which is why I am thrilled to tell you about this new device that acts as your personal sleep coach — because we all know if we don't get enough sleep, diet and exercise tend to be the last things on our minds.
Based on academic articles within sleep science and designed in conjunction with sleep scientists, the Zeo Personal Sleep Coach is a four-part system which includes a headband, a bedside display, an interactive website, and a seven-step sleep fitness program.
New App Lets You See the World in a Whole New Way
Obviously, I'm all about apps. Apps that help me take better photos, look better, and even find a cab in New York (it's possible). So if I had an app that turned my phone into a virtual Looking Glass — that let me see anything from apartments for rent to how high a building is just by holding up my phone to the horizon — I'd be all over it.
Website of the Day: Just Left Home
Feeling lost and like the Internet is your only connection to a home you left behind? The website Just Left Home was set up to be a resource for people who'd recently left whatever cushy nest they were used to and needed a resource for, well, everything in their life.
As they say, it's intended to be a "homepage-away-from-home cure-all miracle pill."
