Internet picks of the week
This Is For You, Michael Bay Heidi Montag is America's version of Katie Price: a mega-breasted reality star who has turned her talents to pop (she makes Ke$ha look talented), fashion and acting, but mainly lots more reality TV and even more plastic surgery. When she heard that Megan Fox had quit Michael Bay's babes'n'explosions sequel Transformers 3, she decided to rustle together an audition tape for the vacant part. Here Montag's audition – which basically involves the line "this is for you, Michael Bay" and the shooting of targets from two feet away – is all the inspiration the internet needs to get busy with a project. The site includes countless piss-takes of wannabe Heidis in fabulously lame style as well as proper thesp Sir Ben Kingsley, who joins the gag teacup in hand. How I Met Your Motherboard Today computer technology is second nature and we've become accustomed to having a real life and an online one. But it wasn't always this way. Designed in the style of a long surpassed Macintosh operating system, this site brings together personal tales of early computing. Guardian writer Laura Barton contributes her childhood experiences with a ZX Spectrum-addicted brother and a daring attack of sabotage. Elsewhere there is nostalgia for the primitive dawn of the internet and a friendship forged on a Counting Crows messageboard; photographs of pale youths with the curtains drawn in the daytime so they can enjoy the delights of a PacMan clone; and the tragic tale of a schoolboy's first attempt at computer animation.
