One of the best things about ROFLcon is trying to find ways to hack, heckle, and celebrate the lolz of internet culture. And no ROFLcon is complete without some meme-related project.

With the recent surge of memes generated on memegenerator.net, there is a large number emerging memes based around this simple tool. The application of Moore’s Law to memes states that the progress of creation of memes will become quicker over time. Meme Generator Surge allows the creation of new memes by adding crazy amounts of new meme images to their site, all from a single script, reaching the God Tier in no time!

Go grab the code, run it from your computer, and make yourself a forced meme expert.

Code available at github.com/gleuch/meme-generator-surge

Randy beat us in launching his How to Tweet Porn, and imma let him finish, but filesharing on Twitter shouldn’t be limited to just porn images. Theo and myself have made tweeting any files of any size to Twitter easy, and can even run from your own computer or your web server.

The FAT Lab crew have begun the Twitter seeding – with movies, images, code, and other items of copyright or intellectual property – at http://tweetfil.es. We’ve started with code, music, and movies… but we need your help to seed more files to Twitter!

So why is filesharing on Twitter important to FAT Lab? Governments and private organizations continue to lock down legitimate file sharing through raids, law suits, and “consumer protection” laws & treaties. And while larger file sharing arenas are targeted, many forget file sharing has existed across many different mediums for decades. Early filesharing beginning with Usenet groups, where the binary data was converted to text characters and reprocessed for download. Facsimile machines follow a similar method of dissemination of binary data. And even ham radio used teletype to transmit photos across long distances by converting photos to ASCII before transmission.

If Twitter is today’s Usenet and Usenet was used for file sharing years ago, why shouldn’t Twitter be utilized today for file sharing?

Download the code and start seeding your files to Twitter!

With recent mistakes by companies and organizations not knowing how to properly censor online documents, its easy to see why people believe the text they can’t see can’t be read. And with computer illiterate talking heads like Rush Limbaugh or internet illiterate censorship advocates like Ursula von der Leyen, it is easy to befuddle them with the appearance of censored text on the web pages they commonly visit.

A playful experiment in “censoring” a web page by hiding text and images behind blocks.

Try it out on your fffffavorite web pages. Grab the bookmarklet below and drag into the bookmarklet bar (or right-click as ‘Bookmark/Favorite this Link’).

Or mess with your ffffffriends. Download the Firefox extension, install into GreaseMonkey, or grab the JavaScript code and add to your site.

Don’t forget to take screenshots of your fffffavorite Ctrl+F’d web sites. Post ‘em in the comments!

We all know and love Mr. Kanye West and his blog. And while his CAPS LOCK rants are his best online trademark, it is difficult to read his rants. We here at F.A.T. Lab have take the time to clean up Kanye’s blog and repair the damage done by his CAPS LOCK key.

Go forth, and enjoy Kanye’s rants about Twitter, South Park, and Bonnaroo without CAPS LOCK damage (or ads)!!!!!
