Trying to remember blog from "back in the day."

June 8, 2024 8:14 AM

This was a blog by a guy who I remember for several different things.

1) he did "how much is in the tube" - style experiments, 2) he made elaborate Halloween costumes that he used to compete and often win money in costume contests, 3) he did a lot of harmless-seeming pranks using his ability to fabricate things like spray-paint a styrofoam carving gold and attach it on the outside of a building to see how long it lasted, and 4) also hosted a visual height/weight chart on his site, which was super interesting to see what people looked like at various heights and weights.

Do you remember what this was called?

Best answer: This is almost certainly Rob Cockerham of cockeyed.com

Great minds think alike! I just looked up the blog the other day to see how he's doing. In college I kind of looked up to him as a cool guy. To be honest, I think the approach of "do fun weird things that aren't mean" is definitely the way to be cool.
