A few of these Steotch meme samplers are NSFW

The subject matter of the samplers have already covered a lot of ground in Internet memedom. You can find pieces about:

• dancing bananas
• a double rainbow
• All Your Base Are Belong To Us
• Star Wars
• I Can Haz Cheeseburger
• MST3K
• Pedobear
• the Fail Whale
• even goatse (although you’ll need to know what you’re looking for to see it)

And, of course, no meme tribute would be complete without a Rick Roll.

Steotch is the brainchild of Emily and Matt Fitzpatrick. According to the website, Emily is battling cancer, so it probably wouldn’t hurt to pay a visit to their Etsy store and pick up a gift for the Internet junkie in your life. Or perhaps get one for your grandma, and see if she notices the Rick Astley lyrics.

Upside Down Dogs is my default browser page

The concept is simple: Wait for your dog to fall asleep in one of those belly-up positions, then snap a picture with your camera. One 180-degree rotation later, and Rex is grinning for the camera. Do this collectively, and it makes for a lot of time-sucking pagination that laughs away (briefly) whatever pain is on tap for the day. The site recently added some embeddable code.

UPDATE 12/10: Now there is Upside Down Dogs – The Movie

Sadly, Sweetness, our beagle, isn’t a back sleeper. He also likes to burrow under covers—actually, he whimpers if not properly covered—rendering him invisible to the camera. I do have two kids, though …

It is difficult to tell when Carter is upside down.

Oh, the things one can do with some archival video and an editing app.

Zombies in Plain English

CommonCraft made their mark with a series of paper prototype explanations of some basic technology and Internet concepts. They have since branched into some for-hire work and now zombies. Just in time for Halloween.

Viral marketing at its best. And very designerly.
