Dipity’s Internet Memes is “an interactive view of the all the memes that swept across the Internet and burrowed in our zeitgeist”.
The list is also zoomable, so that you can dig down into the more obscure references, and it’s built from Wikipedia and Memelabs, so you know that it’s (at least somewhat) reliable.
Plus, anyone can add to it and maintain the list, so you know that the nerds fighting over the exact date that the cheezburger cat became famous are going to have this thing accurate to the second.
I featured Shift on DYH back in February, but I figured that with the release of Shift 3, it was probably worth another look.
Shift 3 takes the Portal/Paper Mario theme that made the first one so famous and adds a massive adventure mode, tons of achievements to earn, and even an unlockable Celebrity secret character.
In addition, there’s a selection of 18 Classic style levels from Shift players around the globe to battle your way through, and scoreboards to show off on if you think you shift like no one else.
Be careful though, because things aren’t always as they appear.

Apparently, “these are full-time freelance careers for a fiercely territorial group of eccentrics who often take their celebrity alter-egos with them well after they’ve left Hollywood Blvd”.
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Charles Eames’ birth, the Vitra Design Museum and the Eames Office teamed up to produce a limited edition run of the elephant that Charles and Ray Eames designed in 1945, but never put into production.
The Eames are famous for their chair, the Eames Lounge Chair, which is said to be the breakthrough design for one of the most influential design teams of the twentieth century.
The elephant features the swooping wood look that made the chair so famous, and will undoubtedly be highly sought after by the hoards of Eames collectors.
Made as a tribute to Kanye West’s ‘Graduation’ album, these Nike Dunk Highs feature teddy bear fur, images of the bear form the album cover, and a tribute to the white window blind shades that Kanye has now made famous.
